Review on πŸ–₯️ Zalman S3 ATX Mid Tower PC Case: Smoky Acrylic Side Panel, Three 120mm Fans, Patterned Mesh Design, Black by Petar Kamenov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Stylish, minimalist case that is lightweight and has a transparent side cover. Only $2100. There are a ton of fasteners in the kit. Possibilities for managing cables. HDD 2.5", 3.5", and SSD bays are present. Three 120mm fans can be installed under the front cover. A long screwdriver is required to attach the motherboard to the casing because it is so close to the "ceiling" of the case, and connecting the processor's additional power supply can also be a hassle. There is a compartment for the PSU that protrudes from the bottom; I was unable to install my TR2 S thermal take because of this. He had to remove a little protruding fan grille that stopped him from fitting the PSU. Regarding ventilation, there was a large, old case that worked without any issues, although it caused the temperature to rise by roughly 3-5 degrees. Installing additional front fans will help with this issue, but you will need to decide which is more important: component cooling or silence. By the way, there are detachable magnetic mesh filters on the top and bottom, so I would generally consider the case to be successful.

Pros
  • plexiglass side cover that is transparent and has a lot of fasteners.
Cons
  • The motherboard's upper fasteners are awkwardly placed, I had to remove the fan grille to install the PSU, and it requires more fans because of how poorly ventilated it is.
