Introduction

I would like to thank Formula V Line for supplying the review sample.


The Formula V Line Crystal Z8 series is a dual-glass chassis with side mounted IO, the Floe model even ships with a second, mesh panel with brackets for front fan mounting. The variant we got for review is black, but you can also grab it in an all white variant. On top of that, the chassis ships with a complete fan layout of a whopping six units, so that all that remains is to install an AIO to complete the look.

Specifications

Packaging

Formula V Line doesn't really give you a clear image of the chassis on the box, but does focus on some branding on the front panel. Turning the packaging around, there is a list of specifications and selling points. Both sides are actually pretty bare, with a small printed square on one of them to let you know which version you will find within. It is interesting that Formula V Line has two sets of boxes printed—one for each color—instead of simply putting a sticker on a universal box instead.


The Crystal Z8 Floe comes packaged with two Styrofoam spacers - one for the top and one for the bottom. A clear plastic bag has also been employed to protect the case from scratches and fingerprints.
