ZALMAN S2 ATX Mid-Tower

This is the cheapest full ATX case you can find, and I gotta say. Im so excited for my first pc build, and as far as im concerned, it feels pretty sturdy so the quality won't be an issue 10 out of 10 on that. I will update when my full build is done.

It's really a great looking case with some real thought put into the layout/design.For instance the frame/Mobo panel, slots for wires close to the mobo interface allow you to run most your wires on the backside of the mobo panel until it's point of connection. Hard drives are installed from the backside so even less wires showing on the window side. A SSD mount directly on the back of the mobo panel keeps all the 3.5" bays free.Plenty of space for my ATX Deluxe Mobo, PSU wiring comes out of the backside Mobo panel and is completely covered from the front view except one cutout window that is great if your PSU has graphics etc in that area as my does, added to the look. Case has PSU filter as well.It's a little thin on the gage, however the build structure makes it very sturdy. I found after everything was installed it felt even more sturdy considering how much it weight in the end.The top reset and power are nice and feel like metal, with no 5.25" bays, no adding SDcard reader, be really nice feature to have in the media panel, just need to use SDC-USB adapter.No bays for your dad's cd burner.No Issue for my rather large video card.Great for water cooling couple mounting options (font or top). I was able to transplant my 280mm radiator in the front of the case drilling a few holes and then using the fans that came with the case.I highly recommend.

This case is mid in more ways than one. The packaging was well done and arrived safely with no damage at all. I needed a computer case because I decided to build a PC out of the parts I had in my stock. I recently built a new gaming rig, and it was time to move it into the home theater room, so I needed a desktop PC for my office. I overlooked one tiny detail while deciding on a computer case; this case does not have a drive bay for my 4K Blu-ray drive. I was blinded by the good price and moved forward with my purchase anyway. I’ve been building PCs for around 22 years, and this tower checked all the boxes.Some of the positives:Lightweight and easily portableAesthetically pleasingCable management is decentFront panel USB 3.0 port (I was getting 145MB transfer speeds)Included 3 pre-installed 120mm fansJust enough parts/screwsSome of the things to consider/takeawaysLightweight has sacrifices that being cheaper flimsy metal. You’ll notice this immediately when popping out the back panel expansion slots.The blue power LED is exceptionally bright (see pics) and can be an issue depending on where you put your PC. In my scenario, I have it on the floor, and the blue LED pierces my peripheral vision, so much to the point that I had to cover it to dull the brightness.Routing the cables/wires through the cable management side, I found that some of the entrance spots were at inconvenient spots where they just barely reached. This was discovered after several attempts at routing/rerouting.Overall, I'd say this computer case was good enough for what I was building and would recommend it. I am happy with my purchase.

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!

The initial item I received was broken but it was replaced very quickly and in perfect condition. I'm currently using it and it looks great with the parts I bought for it. Its quiet and fuctions well with my motherboard. With a great price and good space I would definitely recommend it.

Pros--Temper Glass-Has HDD and SSD mounts-Comes with 3 fans-Has room for a decent graphics card-Looks niceCons--Not a lot of room to cable manage in the back (Thick cables will make it bulge the back case)-HDD cage in the way of PSU cables which makes it hard to hide-Design for the putting motherboard in the case, you CAN'T route the CPU power cable behind the case because the motherboard covers the hole for the CPU cable to come out of so you have to route it in front of GPU (Biggest Gripe)-Hard to take off HDD mount inside case (Highly Suggest if you want more room)Overall I wished I got another case that had more room for cable management in the back and had proper holes that the motherboard that didn't cover it. (btw this is a Micro-ATX board)It does look nice but you pay what you get I guess
