Introduction

I would like to thank Zalman for supplying the review sample.


Today, we get to review the Zalman Z9 NEO chassis, which clocks in at a mere US$60, or €60, and is available in two colors. Having reviewed other Zalman enclosures in the past, things have since grown quiet around the brand, but they do still manufacture some very interesting, innovative gear. I hope their innovative spirit also made it into the Z9 NEO - let's dive right in to find out.

Specifications

Packaging

Zalman ships the Z9 NEO in a brown cardboard box with a colored image of the chassis on front and its model name on the back. You will find a listing of features and specifications on the smaller side panels, which is also where Zalman placed some carrying holes.


Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place, while a plastic bag has been put over the enclosure to keep away scratches and fingerprints.
