Boogie Bug Dub Style M (Zalman Z-Machine GT1000) Case Review

Installation
Due to the removable side panel having pre-supplied standoffs, the installation of the motherboard was quite an easy task and if need be can partially be completed out of the case and then joined together when needed.
The power supply is a simple task and can be installed using various screws but I’ve always found thumbscrews to be the easiest in my opinion but this is purely down to the fact that my systems never remain in their enclosures for long.
For graphics cards, it’s a tool-less design that includes simply taking the designated expansion cover out and installing your card in place of it. Be pre-warned that the likes of a Radeon 6990 will NOT fit in this case due to its length.
Optical drives are another simple task but could be quite daunting for some users due to the removal of the sides of the case to securely fasten in place. Thankfully a thumbscrew design is in place for easy installation.
Hard drives and SSD’s include a unique design which uses horizontal tubes that lock into position and keep the drive in place. They each feature a rubber strip which aids in vibration properties for older style mechanical drives.
Another aspect of this case includes higher storage capacity options with the included drive clamping system on the bottom of the case. This enables the user to house more drives securely in place but is unneeded unless you have mass amounts of storage needs.
