I actually thought of posting the news here myself, but I didn't. I know you got a really big problem with previews in these forums, but I mean, if you don't like them; don't read them.
Personally I think the TNN500A is one of the most interesting products coming up, now if YOU don't want more information than we got from Zalman's 3-page .pdf a couple of months ago, then don't _read_ it.

Yeah Joe, you seem like a clever guy.
Of course it's a commercial, we get paid by Zalman to write commercials of their products, but no, we didn't have their permission to do so. They paid us to do it, then they said no, and then we took our commercial-funded jet down there, broke in and stole their prototype.
Then we didn't acually test it, but rather stole their PR-pictures of it, the webcam you sent us didn't quite deliver the photos we wanted.
And ooooh no, of course you can't draw any conclusions from having a case in your home, installing your computer in it and using it. We actually got the conclusion from Zalman, without their permission, while getting paid.
The people on Zalman were happy with us afterwards because of our great commercial, but a little grumpy because we did so without their permission, while taking all their PR-money.
However, when FBI read your comments, they will probably hire you on the spot! Imagine that Joe! You will get to work with MULDER!

And yes, testing prototypes is worthless. I mean, in a few weeks, Zalman will think something like this: "Hmm, this big metal-mofo-thingies on the sides, they wheigh too much. Mr engineer, take them away and replace them with plastic decals! And wtf are these heatpipe-thingies? TAKE THEM AWAY! I DON'T WANT HEAT IN THE CASE!
What?! Feet? You can't have feet unless you have LEGS! Mr engineer, please add some legs there! And one more thing: What did you think when you decided not to use any FANS? ADD FANS IMMEDIATELY!
And also, the case will be cooler if we open it, so please remove the sidepanels. STUPID engineers, now we'll have to change the whole design before launching it!
Perhaps we should allow people to download parts from the net? Those legs will probably be rather heavy to download, but what do we care?"

If we ever do a preview again, I'll add a disclaimer saying something like: "It's a preview, read the title. If you can't handle it, please don't read it. We will not be held responsible for any harm your computers at work will suffer from our previews while using low speed connections".

I mean omg, where's the shame in admitting that this case is one of the hottest things manufactured by a company in a long while, checking the nice photos out and enjoy getting a little more info on it? Yes, we WILL be back with a full review, and yes, it WILL contain actual NUMBERS.
You probably won't find out when by reading the news here though.
Well, that's enough, I have to press the submit-button before my arms bloody fall off.
