Hi, So I currently have an i7 7700k with a Corsair H80i cooler in a Zalman Z9 Neo case. I was thinking about upgrading my H80i to a H100i, but I was wondering if the H100i would fit. It is not the length, I know the case is built for a 240mm rad at the top, but I am worried it will be obstructed by the top of my motherboard, and it will certainly block off all those holes at the top for cable management. So I was wondering if anyone had had any experience with a H100i in a Zalman Z9 Neo case and was wondering what problems it causes . Thanks

Right now, I have a black Zalman Z9 Neo case and am looking to paint the plastic parts, as the colour difference between the plastic and metal parts annoys me. I want to paint the top panel and the front panel, not the door on the front panel, white - to match the fans in my PC. I have never done anything like this before, and just need some advice on painting. What kind of paint should I use? How many coats should I apply? How much paint will I need? Do I need to sand the plastic then apply primer? Answers to these questions, and any another advice you have, would be greatly appreciated

Just curious what you think of the quality, I may be considering a Z9 NEO.

I built a pc for the first time about a month ago. At the time it had the following specs: AMD FX6350 3.9Ghz GA-970A-UD3P mobo Gigabyte GT 630 2gb graphics card (overclocked to 795ghz) Crucial Ballistics Sport Memory 4gb (2x2gb) on dual channel Corsair 500w modular psu Seagate 500gb HDD HP CD/DVD RW ODD 1080p Vizio HDTV or a regular 17" monitor (as a backup) Zalman Z9 case The pc was working beautifully. I was playing videos, played a few games, and optimize settings for most of them, until I came across Battlefield 4. I could not optimize the settings for tha game. So I decided to upgrade my card to an EVGA GTX760. Prior to installing the card, I uninstalled the display drivers for the GT630. Once I installed GTX760 and powered up, a message appeared on the monitor that said "Please connect the PCI connectors that came with your card." I did plug the 8 pin to PCI, but not the 6 pin. So I plugged the 6 pin, which has a molex end, to other molex fans (wrong move I know), to the Corsair psu. Powered up, and a smell like something was fried happened. I turned off the system immediately, waited about an hour then powered up, everything was working (fans, lights, etc) but no signal or display. Powered down, turned it on again, till it could not power on anymore. I believed my psu was fried. I went to pc store to pick up a new mobo (same as above), aftermarket cooling (Zalman cnps9900 MAX), case, and a new psu (EVGA Bronze+ 600w). Installed everything with the correct connections, powered on, and yet no signal no beeps. Fans, lights, ODD and HDD appeared to be working, mobo was getting power. But nothing. So I went to Toms hardware to get some answers. I breadboarded, using both graphics cards, and yet no change. I disassembled my system and started completely over. Installed everything back in, and again, no beeps, no signal. I tried it on my monitor/TV using VGA cables with GT630, nothing. Tried HDMI with TV, nothing. Tried HDMI and VGA with DVI adapter to GTX760 (doesn't have a VGA port), nothing. I just don't have a clue as to why I am not getting any response with my system. I had enough parts to rebuild an older system (not with any of the components to new system) and when I powered that on using monitor and VGA cable, it worked! I got the beeps, BIOS, and everything. That gave me hope that I knew what I was doing. But my new system, no luck. I came across this site watching one of the Youtube videos on pcs in the hope that someone out there can help or give me advice on what to do next. I am guessing I ruined my CPU chip since that's the only part I have not replaced, but yet I don't know. I know the GT630 card works, but have not confirmed if the GTX 760 works, only by the fans working when I power up. Final build as of this thread: AMD FX6350 3.9Ghz GA-970A-UD3P mobo EVGA GTX760 2gb graphics card Zalman CNPS9900 MAX cooler (aluminum) Crucial Ballistics Sport Memory 4gb (2x2gb) on dual channel EVGA Bronze+ 600w psu Seagate 500gb HDD HP CD/DVD RW ODD 1080p Vizio HDTV or a regular 17" monitor (as a backup) CoolerMaster HAF 912 Anyone with feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have the zalman z9 case with the non windowed side panel. I found this on zalman's website but I cant find it anywhere. Can someone please help me? You can buy the windowed side panel seperately.
