Zalman Z1

Advantages: The principle is the normal price. Volumetric logo zalman The whole muzzle is covered with a perforated metal mesh with a small mesh. Immediately behind it, a paralon filter is located over the entire area. There is a filter on the bottom for the PSU. The filter sticks out a little around the perimeter, but it is protected normally - after a few days, a little debris has already accumulated on the PSU filter (although this is a stupid problem of the lower location of the PSU) Due to the convex side walls, a larger cooler will fit in and a normal cable management is obtained - in fact, you can arrange all cables behind the back wall due to the stamping on the side cover. Essno for full management you need long cables, but a small length can be partially hidden.When a computer is running with a 7200-rpm HDD, it does not tremble, does not vibrate (apparently due to rivets, rounding ...) There is a reset button, and a large rubber band under PSU so as not to hammer on the bottom Wall bolts with knurled heads (plastic ones that can be unscrewed with your fingers) Rectangular groove on top - you can put something and not be afraid that it will fall There are no holes on the side and on top: less dust, less noise (a gaming highly heated computer in this the case is unlikely to be assembled by someone) The legs are very high - it would be better to blow out the PSU 2 compartments x 5.25 inches: you can put a DVD-ROM in one, and in the second miracle icedisk 100 c HDD inside (if you are assembling a super quiet computer) There is a hole under 3.5 - you can shove a card reader 1 USB 3.0 on the face, and not an extension cable, but at the end of the connector into the mother (although if there is no connector on the mother, and the current on the back wall, then with the connector you will fly) 2 USB 2.0 on the face B set 2 valves. The front valve with 3 pins supply to my mother and my mother can regulate the rotation speed, so it is quiet. HDDs sit on skids. The sled is simply leaning against the HDD and inserted into the runners. Additionally, you can screw in 1 bolt. The sled has no rubber pads, but after additional. bolt-on rigidity is good. Subjectively, the HDD vibrates less.

Disadvantages: The front muzzle is fully mesh, the foam does not protect against noise. If you need a quiet system, then you need to think about silence in total. Well, here's for you to think about: As in any case with a bottom-mounted PSU, you need to be very careful about the length of the cables - many ordinary PSUs stupidly will not reach 4pin. connector add. mother's nutrition The cable management is cheating: there is no place behind the mother and, in theory, the cables should not fit in at all, but they fit only thanks to the convex wall, i.e.the cables lie in this bulge. The principle does not care, but it is necessary to place the cables more carefully and place them in an even layer. The side HDD cage and skids are made so that the connectors can only be turned towards the rear wall. Because of this, it is necessary to insert / remove the HDD with the removal of the rear side cover, and there the management cable is hidden and the wires are tamped tightly there and everything falls out. And you can still twist and stick your hand behind the basket, but this is still a crap. A good basket for those who will not poke screws back and forth. Due to the fact that the rear valve is 3-pin to the mother and she knows how to regulate them, it turned out to be quiet, but I had to rearrange it to the front to cool the screws. The second one is made on a molecule and you can hear it, although it is quiet, but it turns out to be the loudest in the computer - I turned it off. When blowing out, the tower cooler blows out well from the core itself. At the same time, it is rather difficult to remove the muzzle - it is attached to plastic spacers - it is hard to squeeze them and break them fearfully. The wires of the buttons are shameful, all individually - all the ties from the set. gone on them. Absolutely strange on / off button: you press the usual button and it sinks inside. and this one has no stroke, literally half a millimeter. + I don't know why, but on two computers with Windows turned on and pressing the power button, the computer stupidly cuts down without shutting down, although everything is OK in the settings, i.e. you will have to forget about turning off the computer from the button on the case, I had to make a shortcut to turn it off Steel here essno 0.6, but despite this it does not vibrate, well, the weight ...

Comment: A wonderful case with a bunch of advantages. Moreover, the price is slightly higher than the cheapest competitors. There are a number of unpleasant nuances here, which, however, are not interesting to many. more +: Vidyuhi up to 360mm come in, so any Walls can be closed / opened easily and tightly - there is no problem as with some cases when you have to close the lid with 3 hands, putting it on its side, otherwise one of the hinges will not enter the groove. Everything is fine here, you can easily close / open without problems. Despite the fact that the HDD cage stands sideways, it has wide openings and the valve still blows a little air. Fortunately, now modern HDDs have become less heated There is a place for an SSD or 2.5 HDD - no need to buy a sled (if they are not included with the SSD) yet -: The hole for the mother's connectors is just a rectangle (carefully check the mother's package for the presence of a back plate) Like in all modern cases, the bolts are black and this is good, but something is too painful they are all super small and frail A huge hole in the base of the mother, such as it allows you to easily change the cooler without removing the mother, but it reduces the overall rigidity of the case and makes it possible to poorly control the cooler paws engagement and its future fall off. The upper recess is not for external HDDs - if you put it there, it will lie at an angle, because the wire is stuck on the side, so you need to lay it across.I bought 2 pieces of such cases - one had 2 rivets very poorly riveted on the front side corner when the front side cover was opened, and they were dumbly dangling in their holes. Although vibration or something else because of this, I did not notice. You can try to rivet yourself, if there is a riveter or a collective farm, try small bolts and nuts or do not care and leave everything as it is. In general in the store, it is advisable to touch your copy. The legs are plastic and without rubber bands - it rolls on the table if you touch it and theoretically can vibrate additionally, I had to make the gaskets myself.

Advantages: Of course, these are 2 stock coolers! They are not heard at all and at the same time they create wonderful air circulation! There is even a 2.5 compartment - it's great, even though there is only one. Installation of all components is quite simple and convenient.

Disadvantages: There is not enough space for PSUs that do not detach extra cords. But this is already a problem. As a disadvantage, probably not everyone will be comfortable - this is one usb 3.0 connector on the front panel

Comment: For those who shop wisely and want to save money. I am happy with the purchase, everything is fine.

Advantages: Great body. Quiet 120s coolers. USB 3.0 on the front pleases. There is a place for ssd and screwless mounting of conventional hdd and drives. PSU from below - I like this scheme.

Disadvantages: no

Comment: The result is a very quiet system. I even began to hear my wd green crunching, I had not heard it before. All wires fit perfectly behind the cover on the board side. There are no problems with opening / closing.

Advantages: High quality budget case. The best that money can buy. Optimal layout for your home computer. Maximum possibilities for such dimensions: 1) The video card is installed in any of the existing lengths. 2) A special footprint for a 2.5 "disk without any adapters and chassis (for system SSD). 3) Seats for several hard drives (file storage) and a fan under the front panel that directly blows them is another plus. 4) Sufficient quality basic fans, no stupid backlights.

Disadvantages: But for constant upgrades it is not very convenient: 1) Cables can be laid behind the motherboard, but they must be carefully and carefully laid. 2) The drives are placed across the case, with connectors to the right wall - you will almost certainly have to remove the right side wall when installing / removing screws (do not forget about item 1). 3) The metal is thin, but nothing rattles. Occasionally, you may have a little difficulty installing the right side panel with the cables packed underneath.

Comment: In general, a very balanced model, quite comfortable to assemble, but still not designed for frequent upgrades. There is one USB3.0 port on the front panel, although all three would be desirable. There is a small depression on top of the body. It is convenient to put flash drives and other small things there. The power supply is attached from the bottom in two positions: the valve from the top - takes air from the case; bottom valve - takes air from outside from under the case. In general, I highly recommend it! For a powerful multimedia gaming machine - this is it!

Advantages: price, equipment, quality \ price. See comments

Disadvantages: Lightweight, as well as the disadvantages of standard mid-towers

Comment: When I took it in hand, it seemed very light (before that there was a full tower from inwin). There was not a single cut during assembly. The edges are finished. There is one fan at the back and front (front for blowing, rear for blowing). The motherboard of the ATX form factor fits in without any problems ASUS H87-pro, the power supply is located at the bottom (By the way, there is a hole for ventilation at the bottom + metal anti-dust cover, plastic legs). The video card fits ANY !!! Fortunately, the engineers took care of this and the Gigabyte gtx 770 (290 mm) climbed in without dancing with a tambourine. Front 2 USB 2.0 and one USB3.0 + audio outputs. The back cover is removable and for cable managment lovers there is a small field for action :) In general, for your price in the region of 1300-1600 rubles, you get an EXCELLENT case for a budget or office PC!

Advantages: quite compact (height without legs 41cm, with legs 43), soundly made, 2 fans included, a high cooler fits (there is 18 cm to the lid, taking into account the protrusion), convenient assembly, dust filters, cheap, black, USB 3.0 (one true) on the front panel

Disadvantages: stamped grilles, not a grill, non-standard fastening of front fans, thin walls resonate (a closed case makes noise a little louder than an open one), for a beautiful assembly you need rather long wires to the processor socket

Comment: Macho climbed in without any problems and still a couple of centimeters left. On the protrusions of the side panels, vibration isolation just asks;) To put the second front fan - solid problems. Firstly, the native front fan is fastened with some strange 3mm screws (for some reason the rear one is standard), the upper front fan is fastened the same. I did not find such on sale. Okay, you can unscrew 2 and try to put it on top, ok. A standard 120x25mm fan does not fit there, the usb3.0 connector interferes, I had to put a thin ...

Advantages: -Excellent build quality for the price -Quiet stock fans -Good design

Disadvantages: I did not find any serious problems, but we can note the fact that the side cover is removed loudly enough

Comment: I was especially surprised by the stock fans, when I turn on the computer I don't even understand if it works; great case for a gaming PC. There is a huge ASUS Nvidia GeForce GTX 780, it takes 4/5 of the length! Quite satisfied with the purchase, take it you will not regret it!

Advantages: This is my first branded corpus, so I can write everything into dignity! Roomy, well ventilated, easy to assemble ... And inexpensive - I took it for 1700. Before that there was Codegen SuperPower - it served for a long time, but compared to Z1 - earth and sky!

Disadvantages: I don't like how the doors are attached to the body. On the last building it was almost the same, a lot of nerves spoiled. I don’t know about the others, but I definitely don’t like these two.

Comment: For its price, an excellent case that will survive more than one assembly. The design is beautiful, there is a lot of space for the video, everything is assembled simply and conveniently. Here, in one of the reviews there was a problem with a 2.5 "SSD, and so ... everything becomes fine ... the disk is placed on top, on the right it is hooked with bolt holes for the 2 pins provided for this. And on the left it is screwed in with screws. the site does not need ... just put on top.

Advantages: Everything, if not perfect, then close to it

Disadvantages: No

Comment: The best case for the money. Everything is thought out, there is enough space, it cools remarkably, dust does not get inside, I recommend buying

Advantages: no slots in the side walls, there is a seat for another fan in the front

Disadvantages: no, if we consider compliance with the declared characteristics

Comment: At first I was glad that I could put another 120 mm fan in front, higher than the one already installed. But then the problems started. The fan of normal thickness did not fit. Put GS 120 - 20 mm. It looks like the front panel has closed, but the impeller is clamped by wires and ... and a USB 3 connector, so the fan could not spin. I had to: 1) bend the extruded mounting points of the fan on the case to the level with the entire plane of the case; 2) saw off the upper corners of the fan itself, so that it does not hang on the rivets of the case, but completely adjoins the grill of the case; 3) file the USB 3 block almost to the very wires - I have not checked it yet, I hope it has not damaged the performance. When assembling the wires from the rest of the connectors (Audio & 2 x USB2), I put the USB3 pads behind the vertically extending wire so that they did not come into contact with the fan impeller. Then I had to rebuild it again, since one thick cable blocked the restart button and the computer did not want to work. With such tweaks, now I have two adjustable fans in the front and one unregulated native at the back. I also plan on the inside of the body of the gluingbe plywood so that it does not buzz like a basin. I did not write about it in shortcomings, because I knew what I was buying. He was more afraid to buy the body, since his hands were sick - it was difficult to raise. Here, in the previous review, it was considered an advantage that there is a mesh below under the power supply unit. It didn't matter to me. I sealed these holes with cardboard so that the power supply unit would not suck warm air through these holes again, but only pulled cool air from the front. Like this: two fans on the front for the input, two for the output (one for the power supply and the other for the case).
