Quite good, but I expected more from it.

For standard air conditioning, I believe it will work flawlessly. Additionally, you can put at least six coolers and RGB backlights for the price, which is fantastic. But I do not recommend it for dropsy.

Pros
  • Gorgeous body. Glass side wall with magnetized dust filters attached to the plastic side wall. Lower PSU Bay
Cons
  • Not meeting the requirements - I performed a two-section dropsy, and it indicated what was suitable, but the motherboard's placement is such that it stands directly next to the top of the case, making it impossible to perform a dropsy there. The holes for fixing the dropsy do not fit that way when I tried to attach it to the front panel. The most you could possibly substitute for a standard rear cooler with this is, in my opinion, a single-section dropsy. However, I haven't tried, and I have no desire to see.

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…

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.

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…

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.

The general consensus is positive. Zalman z3 plus duck was previously available, and it is equipped with numerous fans. Only one fan is available, but it costs less than a thousand dollars. The casing is attractive in its understated simplicity. Wires can be laid without a hitch if you put in the time and effort. There is enough for about seven 120-millimeter fans. The MATX board, as well as the gammax 300 fury cooler, fit without issue, leaving at most three centimeters between the case and…

Pros
  • Minimalism. Glass partition.
Cons
  • Stained glass and plastic. There is a single fan. It's inconvenient to deal with the cables.

Good value for money, I recommend.

Similar to the AeroCool Cylon, almost identical casing with the exception of a different front panel, both just purchased. Hardware: RX584 and i5 6400 (gammax 200T). Protsu is typically very cold. But when playing games, the video card is virtually always operating at full speed. GigabyteAurus, tdp 185W (fresh from the store; not used; not a miner). without dumping, marriage, and other things! I added a third valve for blowing out from above, one under the video card, and two more for blowing…

Pros
  • after all, price! (purchased for 2234r) outside and interior Zalman. Despite having the most fan and HDD mounts
Cons
  • thin metal, as in all cases of this nature, is terrible in this price range! power diodes and a bright HDD (I had to stick it using tape) Poor case purge; hot iron barely removes anything

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

A good affordable option for a compact casing that has the space to accommodate a fairly long video card. Some pros: I was searching for a case that will accommodate a Radeon R390X video card, which is 32 centimeters in length. In standard ATX cases, removing the hard drive basket was required before the component could be installed. In this particular instance, the ergonomics on the inside are different. Despite the fact that the case itself is of a very small size, both the ATX-format…

I took a great case to replace the GMC H200 Phoong, which was huge for its size for a miditower and took up a lot of space on the table. With a little tweaking and tuning, it's quite an excellent body.

Pros
  • Nice looking, pretty compact Lack of a 3.5 format drive bay. Finally removed this stub of the past, at least someone.
Cons
  • Place for cable management would be a bit more

Seriously, decades of case design that could be used and you'd think someone would make an inexpensive case that does everything it needs without sacrificing functionality. Zalman did. This case is a bit small, but I was able to fit a Hyper 212 Evo in it (although I only have 1mm of space, so YMMV). The case covers all the basics for a case in this price range. Rounded edges (so no sharp edges), good airflow, dust filter, decent cable management (well-placed attachment loops and cutouts), full…

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Something different

Bad technology is not a case of the SSD era

5 cm distance between the back of the power supply unit, where the cables are connected, and the hard disk bay. Nobody uses hard drives these days and I don't even have SATA SSDs, just an NVMe SSD connected to the motherboard. I will drill out 6 rivets and remove the tray. They could have made it removable by attaching it with just two screws like Corsair does with its Carbide series, but they didn't. This makes it very difficult to use a power supply with more than 400W in this case. The…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Periodicity

I really like my assembly with this case

Advantages:1. It provides enough space for cable routing both between the back panel and the outer cover.2. It has a glass panel that hides the power supply. This glass panel also increases the space for cable management.3. In a dusty environment, I like the dust filters on the front, top, and bottom of the case. Cons: 1. I couldn't get all 3 front fans to work. I can get 2 in any combination but not all 3 at the same time. The problem is that the power cords are too short. I only have one…

Pros
  • In stock
Cons
  • It was possible to choose a newer model

My expectations were low, but that's it.

Firstly, although the description says glass side panels are now supplied; You are not. It's still acrylic. But that would be good in itself. The side panel screws are overtightened at the factory, causing the acrylic to deform. The PSU bracket is curved in such a way that installing the PSU becomes a chore. I had to put it on to bend the shelf down when screwing it in, otherwise the holes wouldn't line up. There is no gap between the top of the mobo and the top of the case; However, the top…

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • For old

This is a good case and although it is quite small it offers enough space. The case is fairly thin metal which makes it feel cheap, but does it really matter if it just sits somewhere? In fact, it might even be good, less metal = less weight. And the plastic pane is also light as a feather. The details on the inside will weigh it down nicely. The case has multiple USB ports on the top and 3 fans which is a nice touch. The fan on the back uses this tiny 3 pin cable that connects to the…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Easy maintenance

Nice case for Micro-ATX build.

Let me start by saying that Zalman is a good company that has been around for a while and their customer service is excellent! Overall I am very happy with the performance of this case and the construction (see photo) came out and the price paid. This case is more suited to a micro build than a full size ATX board due to its small size. If you're buying a power supply at the same time, I also recommend looking for one that has flat cables for easier cable routing. I think this feature is more…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not sure

S3 has BAD intake airflow!

I bought this product because I thought there would be a decent flow of air through the side vents on the front. I was wrong. There's a plastic wall that blocks your view of the vents, so you can't see the front fans. The gap between this wall and the case, through which the air has to get to the fans, is very narrow. I used Microsoft's best technical charting program to sketch what I'm talking about. The red arrows indicate the limitation. Now, if you just stick with the two included front…

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
  • There are problems
