Zalman S2 TG ATX Mid-Tower PC Case, 3 x 120mm Fans Pre-Installed, Tinted Tempered Glass Side Panel, Mesh Front Panel, USB 3.0, Black

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 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.

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.

Great computer case ,my only complaint is no place for dvd players but very quiet and stylish

Got the Zalman S2. This was my first PC build, so I didn't realize how big mid-tower cases were. That said, building in it went pretty smooth. My only issues were that at least one of the motherboard standoff holes was not cut right, so I ended using one less standoff instead of choosing to get a hammer and trying to make it work, and the cutout for cable management for the cpu power supply is in an awkward place, where you basically have to have your cable set up and ready before putting the motherboard in. I ended up undoing the top screws holding my motherboard in and bent the board ever so slightly to pop the power cable through. Not recommended though. Cable management required a bit of squishing to get the back panel on, and I was using a semi-modular power supply with no hard drives or sata drives to require extra cables for, but it was doable for me.Overall, I'm well pleased with the case. For around $55 pre-tax, the metal seems sturdy, it has three fans, dust covers, and a spot for the power supply. If you break down the costs, if it costs them $10 for supplies (including 3 fans), $20 in labor, and $10 for shipping, they wouldn't be making much money on this. If you want an item that's flawless, go spend money on a high-end case. Budget cases, while humans are making them, will likely always have drawbacks. This one is worth it, imo, as long as you don't get bad luck with their motherboard standoff holes.Note: Please make sure you do your research about what cpu fan you want to use in your case. The Zalman S2 says it has 156mm of clearance, and that is not enough for several of the popular tower air coolers on the market. I bought a Deepcool AK400, which says it has a height of 155mm, and I assure you, I used 155mm out of the 156mm available.
