Zalman S3 ATX Mid Tower Computer PC Case, Pre-Installed Three (3) x 120mm Fans with Smoky Acrylic Side Panel and Patterned Mesh Design

Its a nice case and despite being fairly small there is a good amount of space in here. The case is fairly thin metal which makes it feel cheap but does it matter when its just sitting somewhere? In fact it may even be a good thing, less metal = less weight. And the plastic panel is light as a feather too. The parts inside will weight it down nicely. The case has a few usb ports at the top, and 3 fans included which is real nice. The fan at the back uses this tiny 3 pin cable that connects to the motherboard, the two front fans use this big molex pin connecter, my power supply had a cable for those thankfully. So the only one controlled by the motherboard is the back fan. They are pretty quiet fans tho, so running at full speed isn't really an issue imo. There is a hard drive area and it comes with a few plastic caddy guides you use to install them in the case, real nice for big storage.Now lets talk about the issue ppl have with this case: The power supply area.People are on here complaining about the power supply space and I'll admit it IS cramped but you can get a pretty big one in there with some patience. Really the problem is the cables being chunky, this corsair rmx 850 w has some of the chunkiest cables I've ever seen. They are massive, thick, woven cables and EVEN then with some problem solving I got them all in, no cutting the case or anything required. The trick is, connect up all the cables first to the power supply if you are using modular and get the power supply in first. The huge motherboard one you may wanna thread in first but other than that do it after, because getting the power supply in will be impossible otherwise, the cables get in the way and you kind of have to angle it in. Then once its in you can carefully thread all the rest of the cables in. I know you may be thinking I cheated, using modular because I only used the ones I needed. WRONG. I installed several extras for less hassle in the future, even two extra pcie power cables direct from the supply for an RTX 30-series upgrade soon. I used up almost all the cables included, trust me you can get it all in.This is a good case, and I love the aesthetic. That ps2 ribbed look is a look I love and my laptop is a G5 with that look too. And in the case of this case there is a mesh behind the ribs so you get really good airflow. There is a magnetic filter at the top of the case and a slide one underneath the case for the power supply. Unfortunately not all the vents are covered by removable meshes. But this is a budget case so I'm okay with that. Overall I really recommend this one!

Love the case! It works great, nice cable management, sturdy supports, nice and open inside the case, and clean looking all around. The S3 has a bit of restriction on the airflow due to the front panel being side vented, if that's a problem go with the S2 model; however the panel helps reduce noice that would otherwise blast out the front, I enjoy it!

I bought this case for a budget PC build, the overall materials quality is good.There are 3 USB ports and audio ports on the top near the power switch which suits my needs, but it is important to note that there are no USB-C ports.There are magnetic dust filters on the top and bottom of the case for easy cleaning.The issues I had with this case were assembly related. I chose a larger air cooler for my build and was very difficult to reach certain areas of the motherboard inside of this case for mounting and cable connections. It is a very tight fit for full size ATX boards. I imagine this isn’t as much of an issue with smaller boards.Cable management was also rather difficult, as there are limited holes when using an ATX board, and even with flat cables the back panel was a very tight fit.Comes with 3 preinstalled case fans which are nice and help with air flow. The case fans are quiet enough that I don’t notice them.Despite the assembly difficulties I do like this case, I just wish there would have been a little more space inside and more holes for better cable management.

This is not an amazing case, but it also won't cost you your mortgage. It works well and it fit my MB and video card well. It has most of the functions and spaces you would expect for an modern case and look good. Is it exceptional ... no. But it never claims to be. Is it good value for the price ... yes very much so.
