Review on Zalman Z3 M ATX πŸ’» Tower Computer: A Compact and Powerful Machine by Adam Adam ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

In general, the case is both beautiful and practical. Pros: design, ease of access to content due to moving the power supply down and turning the hard drive unit, convenient access to hard drives, moving the usb unit up, allows you not to break out flash drives and not be afraid that the connected external hard drive will be hooked. The large, easy-to-remove top panel gives easy access to the top coolers and the usb and button block. Also under the plastic there is plenty of room for modernization. Between the cooler and the USB block there are places the size of another 120mm cooler approximately. Simple wiring diagram without frills. With its cons: Noisy. Because of the luminous 120 constantly working at maximum speed. I will probably look for one or two of the same luminous, but manageable ones. Plastic legs. They promised rubber ones, while I put gaskets from the chamber, it seems better - the table does not vibrate like that. The video card holder is not suitable for all video cards, for example, for my GTX1060 it had to be upgraded by gluing a 4 mm lining, otherwise the plastic holder does not allow the second video card cooler to rotate. When installed in the recess of the table for system units, the USB panel often ends up in pitch darkness. I had to add a backlight, otherwise, in combination with the USB turned away from me, I can insert a USB flash drive from the fifth time. The window plug for 3.5 devices fell out and refused to stay in place until it was screwed on. The mesh, although it is curved to hold on, refuses to hold on, and it is very soft. There is another drawback. In the standard configuration, we get 3 fans working for blowing out, although most of the time they are not at full strength, and only one for blowing in at maximum, so the case behaves like a vacuum cleaner, sucking dust in the back, which is not very good, since the front has us essentially an anti-dust filter made of prolon. Nothing much is visible through the plastic transparent window, so it is essentially useless.
