"As the Home Theatre Personal Computer (HTPC) bug spreads mercilessly across the home user base, manufacturers are tweaking and expanding their product ranges to fit the varied requirements of the customers looking to buy.

Some will be happy with a simple two drive setup, with no LCD or front connectivity. Others will want plenty of space to accommodate the RAID
setups they dream of, forward connectivity to die for and design that Andrea Pininfarina would be proud of on the latest Ferrari. In an attempt to satisfy the latter, Zalman have added the HD135 to their range, and if the HD160 we took a look at a while ago is anything to go by we may be in for a treat.

Over the next few pages we will put the HD135 under our virtual microscope and see if is worthy of your hard earned cash, so bear with us as we give you the low-down."
