Review on Zalman Z3 Iceberg Premium Gaming Computer Case with RGB Fans and Tempered Glass Side Door in White by Mike Cox

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good case for the price

I have used many PC cases over the last 30 years and dozens of ATX cases over the last five years. Many of them are as good or even better, but considering the price, this is a pretty good case. That's a good size. It could be smaller, but at the expense of features and capacity. It could be more, but most people don't need it. It fits easily wherever it is needed and is easy to live with. The system setup is a bit rough here, but not without reason. I was spoiled for the cubes and larger cases, but it's still a solid design with plenty of room for hardware, cables, and storage. Due to the limited space behind the motherboard, you'll need to use the cable management features, but it won't be too painful. Fan mounts allow for either an air cooler (with adequate airflow) or an all-in-one (the route I took). I actually installed two monoblocks (one for my CPU and one for my GPU). Temperatures stayed cool (usually such a setting). The glass panel and overall neat appearance go well together, and it's not loud at all (again, my setup tends to be quiet). I recommend this if you're using m.2 storage and possibly a 2.5" SSD. If you need more storage space this can accommodate but I would recommend a different case as cable management becomes an issue when you start adding lots of SATA cables and SATA power and running out of space for drive mounting.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly creased
