Review on 💻 Zalman S5 Mid Tower PC Gaming Computer Case with Pre-Installed 120mm RGB Fan, 4mm Thick Tempered Glass Side, AIO Water Cooler Bracket, and Front Panel RGB (White) by Collin Jackson

I'll start with the positives, this case looks really nice, I just love the modern stylish look, the white and black combo is very nice, the RGB is subtle and customizable . It has the ability to expand storage within a few days. It has four 2.5 SSD brackets and 2 HDD brackets. The cable routing hole on the back is nicely combined with the plastic cover. Now for the cons… Where do I start…. very thin because when I got to the top the metal of the roof was actually bent down, I had to bend it back, now it's 90% flat. where you screw it on, hopefully your graphics card's HDMI port isn't next to it like mine, there was no way to connect HDMI, I had to shave some plastic off the cable to make it fit, it's poor case design. So I just physically removed it, which gives a lot of clearance in the back, which doesn't really matter because the more airflow the better in this case. . Which in itself isn't a big deal if you've ever used other cases where Molex powers the onboard RGB lighting. But this thing is about 8 inches long, takes up a lot of space, and is very inconvenient to manage all the cables connected to it. A fan is mounted on the lower front to cool the hard drives. I was wanting to add more fans to the front when I found out that to open the front cover you have to squeeze these plastic tabs and a little over half of them are covered by the case and you are physically unable to reach them . So this front cover is basically permanently attached. ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM - The only air coming in from the front is a tiny streak on the right hand side, less than half an inch wide, running top to bottom. , THAT'S IT. I have a similar case from Thermaltake but at least it has about a 2 inch wide air gap on both sides and bottom, this one has a small half inch gap on the right side, no airflow into this case from the front. So I had to install a fan at the top to blow air in, which isn't ideal. Make sure no matter what computer you connect, it won't overheat. Luckily I installed a CPU/GPU combination that doesn't get hotter than 60°C. Conclusion: Otherwise I like the look of the case very much. This is definitely a case for beginners. And if your budget. Of course why not. But there are other budget entry-level "RGB" cases that are probably better than this one at $70 or less.
