There is no doubt that Zalman’s Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 is a unique enclosure. While it’s likely to be enthusiasts who purchase the product, even casual users will admire the quality of its engineering. The enclosure is built to survive a nuclear attack, and the black/red colour scheme shouts ‘look at me’. The etched graphics soon become pleasing to eye (they’re initially a little overwhelming), and the clear plastic window offers plenty of opportunity to admire your component choice and cabling skills. But the performance of the chassis was ordinary, and beyond the amazingly practical HDD mounting solution (anchored spinning bars with cylindrical rubber wheels) and easy-access main door there is very little that makes the Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 stand out from a vast crowd. Having said that, it’s easy to work with and its finish is exceptional, so is definitely worth considering.
