looks nice, looking forward to a review

 

[AMD Radeon]

now i have a new favourite case for budget builders

 

[016ive]

It looks good-too good for the price- and I assume it will be excellent for HTPC Build

 

[John Bauer]

Did they glue it together?

 

[nukemaster]

They have a ATX tower that is similar. I like the idea of a case not having to be so deep(they move the drives so that you can still install longer video cards).

Funny I was looking at the atx one ZM-T2(but it has 2 x 120mm top fans. nice touch) because of how much less deep it is and saying they need a matx one

Can it fit a Corsair H70 in Push Pull?

 

[nukemaster]

No. It only has a 92mm fan on the back. If you placed it on the front(if it fit) it would eat up your video card space.

The side seems to be able to take something, but who wants the rad on the side panel.

Thats scary impressive!

Make it $30 standard price and $20 on sale and you might have a winner! Assuming the build quality is okay.

Having used the T1 in 4 builds at work I can tell you the build quality is going to be pretty solid for its price, Maybe this is why the availability of the T1 and T2 (shitty glossy T1) is dwindling.

I beg to Zalman, please come to India, we really need some good cheap cases. Really, you guys should be in India. Such good cheap cases would sell like hot cakes.

Just come to India, we need some good companies.

 

[Drejeck]

Are they losing money with each sell? It doesn't seem economically possible to produce and ship at that price. 92mm on the back is too small for 3x120mm pushing air in, you'll end up with an overpressure, which is good only if there are no leaks. Overall I can't complain about design. I'd go for a N200 but for 40 euro.

My case is 7 yrs old and I can't even fit a h100i in it, BUT I rigged mine too. ThermalTake case that's 100lbs+

You can't just tell us this without posting an image. This is Tom's Hardware after all.

 

[FFH]

This looks very nice for a $22 case.

 

[rohitbaran]

Hmm. I hope this case is good for the pretty low price it carries.

 

[Narcissistic_Martyr]

It's super affordable but is it super effective?

 

[nukemaster]

For the price I would guess it will work out quite well(It has decent ventilation for a mid range system). You are not going to build a top end gaming rig in it.

 

[bebangs]

fyi - this is a huge case and only supports MiniATX and MicroATX motherboards.

can anyone confirm if it can fit a huge video(like gtx660 or above) inside this case?

 

[lunyone]

If it's between 250-300mm long than you should be able to fit the GPU into the case (as far as Zalman quotes):
That equals <=11.8" long.

 

[nukemaster]

I would certainly NOT call it a huge case.

It is tall for an matx/mitx case(due to having the space above the board for the optical drive), but it is the depth the some users have an issue with(if they keep the case on the desk).

By removing the HDD cage and hanging a drive on the front sideways you make the case less deep without sacrificing as much video card space.

With the limited ventilation(something that could be fixed with a nice top fan[modding here we go]) it is not targeted at high end gamers, but I think they did a great job on the compromises to reach that price point.

If you want a even smaller Matx but still tall case(and do not use optical drives or do not mind using a notebook drive) you can get an FT03. Please note that case has its own set of drawbacks as well(not the best airflow either and the side panel come off very easy).
