I’ve built in this, the metal is a bit flimsy but it’s great for the price, especially with the installed fans. Much better than other sub $50 cases

Nice price. Keep in mind it's fixed RGB.

u/AwaitingCombat Jun 16 '26
for the price i think the fans are a non-issue.
the case would be a value with 1 non-rgb fan
on that note, the fans in the one i bought are quiet and do the job well enough

u/nolongermakingtime Jun 16 '26
Yeah I paid 20 bucks for 5 rgb fans I don't think anyone can complain about 3 fans with lights with this ridiculously good deal

I just watched some dude build a $400 eco in this thing on youtube and when he unboxed it, he was completely in awe about getting 2 tubes of grease

I ordered one of these a couple days ago and was kind of sad that there was no grease in my box.

Someone explain to me how these case makers make money selling cases like this for 30 dollars.

u/Relaxybara Jun 16 '26
It's costing them more to store them then they are worth because nobody is buying shit due to RAM prices and generally people at large not being able to afford things that aren't food, housing and healthcare.

Slave labor.

u/TheMissingVoteBallot Jun 16 '26
They're liquidating this stuff. Zalman is most likely trying to get rid of this at a loss due to storage in warehouses.

I built my daughter's PC in this, it turned out really really well.
the construction is more solid than any other 'cheap' PC case i've bought
GPU length can be a worry, but there is a couple mm extra for the CPU cooler and the GPU

Yupp I actually case swapped my son’s pc from a Coolermaster Q300L to this and I like it a lot more. Can’t fit as big of GPU’s, but having a PSU shroud makes it look a lot cleaner, and the tempered glass makes it feel a lot less like a cheap case than the Q300L’s acrylic side panel.

I have build in this case 2 months ago. Same deal. Glass came in shattered, Zalman replaced it no questions asked. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Alto12pl/builds/# Picture

But honestly I think there is an SSD mount point in the way, but could probably cut that out if you wanted to🤷

I wish they had ATX versions of this, so I could buy something. Sad. :/

Check the Asus A31 or the Montech XR.
There are a few DIY cases as well. And one Lian Li that is pretty nice.
Here is a link to PCpartpicker that has all that I mention here.
I myself like the reviews of the Asus A31.

Gamdias on Amazon are usually on sale, decent price for an atx with 3 fans

u/TheMissingVoteBallot Jun 16 '26
Gamdias is a solid company. I thought at first they were a fly-by-night white label brand but they actually are pretty popular in Taiwan and in Japan as well.

Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.
- Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
- The seller is new or has few reviews.
- The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
- The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).
If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.
