Review on Golden Field Z21 Gaming PC Case - EATX/ATX/MATX/ITX Mid-Tower Case with Tempered Glass Openable Side Panel by Steve Yang

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent case for the money but needs some work.

In general I like the case, it has a lot of nice features. The foldable page is good for quick access. I also like that it can be removed when building the car. Airflow was an issue since the front panel is mostly acrylic, but it seems to be sucking in quite a bit of air since my system temp was very low and I could feel good airflow when checking to make sure the fans were blowing in the correct direction. What could be improved: The cutout for the processor on the back has a bizarre shape that serves no real purpose. It should more closely match the shape of the CPU cooler in case you need to replace the cooler or when you reassemble the system you don't need to remove the motherboard because the back clip doesn't fit the hole. The SSD bracket is good, for people who want to use multiple SSDs, it should be 2. The expansion slot covers on the back shouldn't be knocked out, so they're interchangeable at this price point. The $19.99 case uses perforated expansion slots, the $75 case may have updated expansion slot covers. I fitted a 280mm radiator on top with no problem, but better cable management holes would make it less of a problem. Improved tie-down rings along the rear edge of the case, these are so small you can't even thread a tie through them. Overall I think the case is good for the price but if they don't include fans they need to address the cheapness of the case with better quality.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • A long time ago
