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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

Remove the front panel of the case and cut off the plastic wall or fence (I'm not sure what it's called exactly) on the inside (it will be visible in the photo). This is a minor life hack for individuals who have purchased or are about to purchase this case, but the blank front wall causes them to feel uneasy. As a result, you have the ability to increase the size of the air intake holes on the front panel by 1.5-2 times. It is preferable to fix the front panel coolers on the inside so as not to impede with the free flow of incoming air (I believe that many people have already done this). My setup consists of the following components: a Zalman S3 case (with three 120mm fans for intake and one 120mm fan for exhaust), a GIGABYTE Z590 UD AC motherboard, an Intel Core i3-10100F processor (which serves as a "plug" in preparation for an Intel Core i7-11700), a cooler for a Deepcool GAMMAXX processor 300 (which will be replaced by a be silent! After switching processors, the computer had a Pure Rock 2 motherboard, HyperX Fury 16GB (8GBx2) 3200MHz RAM, an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card, a Chieftec PPS-750FC 750W power supply, a Samsung 970EVO Plus SSD, and a WD RE 4TB hard drive. Aida does not exceed 52-53 in the stress test despite having an idle performance of 27-29. This single case is more than plenty for my needs.

Pros
  • 1. In terms of presentation, I gave it my best effort and aimed for a perfect score of 100. 2. The lack of external and/or internal slots for CD/DVD drives and floppy disk drives (this has become one of my requirements for cases). 3. Sufficient capacities for all components: 8 slots for 120mm fans (which is even a little too many), 2 slots for 3.5" HDD, and 3 slots for 2.5" HDD/SSD. 4. The position of the PSU in the lower area. 5. Effective cable management, with multiple opportunities to arrange the wires in a tidy fashion.
Cons
  • 1. According to what they have heard, the glass in question is not made of plexiglass but rather toughened glass. On the other hand, if you really want to, you can make it to your specifications. 2. The maximum height for a processor cooler is 156 millimeters. However, this is not a negative number; rather, it indicates the maximum height of the CPU cooler. If you plan to overclock your computer, you should instantly calculate the dimensions of all the components.
