XPCases Z-Alien Computer Case Review

April 15th 2004 | Cases & Acc.

The A-Top Z-Alien case from XP Cases is an interesting case to say the least. In the looks department I thought I scored excellently. This is the only case on the market that I know of that actually integrates an alien head into the front fascia. If you are into flashy cases this is defiantly one to look at. I especially liked the side window. The alien head shape was a nice change from the almost old rectangular shape.

Feature wise the Z-Alien came well packed. The Z-Alien comes with screw-less everything. It also features the side mounted hard drives, and excellent cooling. The case comes with 3 fans already installed, which is almost unheard of. Even better though, these fans are all quad-blue LED fans, so case lighting is pretty much handled already. A-Top includes a 500w power supply with the case, which although is not from a familiar manufacturer, it still provided adequate stable power to my system.

Pros: Looks amazing, front temperature display, case lighting already handled, includes all the fans, front/top access to usb/firewire/audio, very roomy, screw less
Cons: Fitment could be refined; fans are a bit loud, plastic rails
Bottom Line: The Z-Alien is a feature packed, awesome looking case. Fit and finish could be slightly better but on the whole this case is really good.
