Review: Really nice case! - It's hard to beat for this price. Physically, it's a nice looking case. Feels pretty well built but not too heavy. The top panel with the microphone and headset jacks looks nice. Power button is easy to find and the USB ports are conveniently located. The nicest part I like about this case is that there are lots of holes around the system board where you can conveniently route cables. The cables for the top panel, power switch and USB 3.0 cable were plenty long. One of the biggest frustrations I run into when building up customers' desktops like this is the the HD Audio cable for the top panel is too short. Some of these companies give you absolutely nothing to work with as far as length. This one was plenty long and there was even a hole to route it through right below the HD Audio connector on the system board. I was really pleased with this case. Kudos for a well thought out case!
Review: Compact, lightweight, looks good - This case is perfect for the person looking to build a small and lightweight ATX computer on a budget. Zalman has done an excellent job with the build quality, price, style, for a case in this price range. They've shrunk the ATX tower down to the minimum spec leaving no room for error. A standard ATX motherboard has just 2mm of clearance. A typical GPU will just barely fit through the mounting bracket, and there is little room for cable management. Some people will be annoyed by that. The case weighs less than the cardboard box it ships in, which feels cheap to some people-- I get it. I've been building PC's since 386 days, I've had dozens of cases as they evolved over the years and this is my favorite ever. Not because it accommodates every possible need-- it doesn't-- but because it's minimal but without being too basic. I don't think I could fit a 360 mm AIO cooler in here and it certainly wouldn't fit a battleship-sized GPU, but that's not what I'm going for. I don't need a dozen fans, or neon LED liquid tubes everywhere. Any normal sized CPU cooler and GPU should fit, and it has a couple of bays for a mechanical drives with just barely enough room for a compact power supply. No joke, this case is tight. DO NOT BUY if you are going big. It's meant to be compact. That's the point.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent case
*by D***M on April 6, 2024*

I understand this is a budget case, but the lack of cable management slots and thin back panel clearance for said case wiring makes it extremely difficult to actually organize any PSU wiring for the entirety of the system. The case does feel somewhat decently made I will admit, but cable organization should’ve been the top priority for the design of the case that I bought. The screws, motherboard mounts, zip ties, and everything else was good quality. The power button is actually super satisfying to press, and the MSI Motherboard I put in it fits very well. The stock fans are a bit loud, but I guess, you get what you pay for. The case does have plenty of rear, top, and bottom ventilation for the internals I specifically chose, the front panel ventilation is mid tier. I would’ve preferred at least three slotted vents with protective breathable mesh. But regardless of my gripes, this is a fairly simple and decent quality starter PC builders case. Not the best overall, but for the price it’s definitely better than the other cases I’ve seen on amazon.
