Review on πŸ’» 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 Leonard Beard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good case but no DVD drive and painful to disassemble.

I'm used to having it on all computers. Like most people these days I rarely use discs so I understand this isn't new but I still have programs I need to install on disc and movies I already have on disc and I won't pay to stream. So I had to buy a separate USB drive, wasted more money.2. If you want to paint or modify the body in any way it will be very difficult to take apart as 98% of everything is bolted and unbolted so you will need a drill and a rivet gun. The glass panel is fully screwed down, it would be nice if it was magnetic and easy to open and close like a door as much cheaper cases have this feature. There is almost no room for cables unless you remove the entire hard drive bay at the bottom. There aren't many cable routing slots next to the motherboard, so a few cables are visible in the corner, not that I have more room to tuck cables in the tight space at the back since I'm using the hard drive bay. . Those three things aside, this is a great case, the LEDs work great, it has good headroom under the computer for airflow. I haven't found that I don't need any additional fans other than the two included and the one already installed on my CPU cooler. Of course, if you want to overclock or play 4k at the highest possible level, you'll probably need an extra fan or two. Haven't tested this yet as I still need a new graphics card as I just replaced the middle one. from my old computer.

Pros
