Review on Zalman Z3 M ATX ๐Ÿ’ป Tower Computer: A Compact and Powerful Machine by Boyan Ivanov แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

All the shortcomings are compensated by the price - I was very pleased with the purchase, I recommend it to anyone who wants a good case for a reasonable price. But you should not expect any premium from him, which the appearance may hint at.

Pros
  • Design (Especially the USB and audio top position, and also with a stand) Design: - lower location of the PSU - the ability to install a video card in the entire length of the case - clamps and mounts for HDD and BDR - well-thought-out cooling - the air inside really walks well Very quiet Price (3000, January 2022) The front cooler glows beautifully
Cons
  • Workmanship and materials: - very inexpensive plastic, feels so-so to the touch - the corners of the plastic panels can be sharp - can be scratched - some screws can jam because the holes are knocked out crookedly, or the threads are crooked (many wrote about the screws for fastening the video card support bar, but I had everything ok with them, but the bottom screw of one of the covers got stuck) A very narrow case - it is as wide as a classic case, but due to the possibility of hidden cable routing, its actual width from the motherboard to the lid is a little less than you would expect. Cooler-tower with a height of 160 mm climbed back to back There is very little space for laying wires behind the back cover - in order to close it, I had to distribute them quite strongly and put half of them behind the hard drives - it looks so-so, I will redo it, despite the fact that this is also the third attempt (for an hour and a half I tried to skip the wires like this so that it is beautiful and the lid closes) Either I didnโ€™t figure it out, or itโ€™s possible to constructively install an SSD in its place only crookedly The sled for installing the HDD is plastic, it is neither solid nor very reliable You canโ€™t fix it without a sled, but I didnโ€™t have enough of one of the sleds - as a result, there are really three places for the HDD and not four (itโ€™s good that 3 was just enough for me) The lid fastenings are also quite simple with classic flaws - not everything always fits right the first time
