Considering the cages slide in on runners there is also nothing to clamp them firmly onto the main chassis, let's hope Zalman have gotten the sizes exactly right in the design to avoid any niggling rattles. Unfortunately, the HD135 doesn't have the same rubber grommets on the screws as the HD160 so vibration might be exacerbated by the aluminium build. What would be an issue is replacement of the drives, as once the motherboard is fitted it is quite difficult to remove the cages to access the side screws. You do not need to install a mongodb instance to play with it. If you are a unviversity or a developper needing to test a query, Mplay is made for you. Suitable for both ATX and MicroATX, the HD135 has plenty of room to get your hardware inside and wiring arranged. It can be used for testing mongodb queries such as insert, update, classic queries or aggregate. I think you have to wait until the software player are adapted to. Once built, you realise how well Zalman has utilised the space inside. I have tested mpeg2 playback with mplayer, xine etc. Im foraying into the world of DIY entertainment and smart-home devices, and after a ton of research Im still having quite the time deciding on the software to use for my htpc. This is a small, yet annoying, flaw that could probably be resolved with a 5 minute dremel session, but hardly recommended considering the cost of slipping on such an expensive case. Unfortunately only four of the holes are countersunk so place it anywhere else than where it is originally placed and the screws will sit slightly higher. To this end, the screws can fit anywhere on the top grill. The positioning of the fan/shroud combination is essential - the CPU cooler should receive maximum ventilation so you can leave the fan speed at it's lowest setting (50% and inaudible). Zalman obviously recommends use of their own quiet components in the HD135, and having seen the performances of some of their cooling products in the past it seemed appropriate to use them for testing. Once built, proper cable management was carried out to not impede airflow and the top vent was left in the closed state.

As the system inside is likely to evolve with the hardware available on the market, a distinct advantage over COTS (Commercial off-the-shelf) Hi-Fi products, the case is likely to be opened many times during it's lifespan. To this end, we have filled the HD135 with enough oomph to keep it happy even under stressful loads. Up and RunningFor a modern HTPC to rise above the rest it has to be powerful, flexible and capable of being the heart of your everyday Home Cinema system.
