Zalman M2 Mini ITX Case w/ PCIe Riser, Brushed Aluminum Small Form Factor Computer PC Case, Clear Acrylic Side Panels Side Vents, Vertical GPU Mount and Gold-Plated Riser Cable, USB-C 3.1 (Silver)

Item arrive safely. I choose this case as it looks like a Dan's case in sub 10L. It is not cheap but still lower than others for this size. I just notice that my item acrylic is a bit frosted and not clear as the photos. The assembly is quite tight, always need some adjustment before fitting my entire build, also I flip my PSU facing the other side. The inner case structure is steel and the outer is brush aluminum. The included 80mm fan is slim just for info. So far I like it. Thanks Zalman for this M2 model.

I was looking for a sff computer that looked nice, had a type-c connector and wasn't very expensive. This case fit all of that. In a market where these type of cases can easily be $300, the $99 price point of the Zalman M1 is pretty nice. Case is sturdy, with acrylic side panels with large ventilation in them. The panels are also lifted off the chassis, which gives the whole case pretty nice airflow. In my system with a r5 5600x which pulls about 115watts at full bore, and a evga xc3 rtx 3070 which pulls around 220watts full bore, it eminates a lot of heat, and the actual metal of the case does warm up, it didn't throttle. Noise was pretty nice, but I'd watch out for any sff coolers that are whiny, because this thing will not keep any noise in, since it's basically open chassis. Cable management in my case was shove most cables in the space under the power supply and call it there. Not a ton of room for cable management, but there never is in these cases. Included 80mm fan is nice. The cutout is also the perfect spot to acsess the m.2 slot on the back of my motherboard. My big gripe about this case is the pcie riser. It's pre-routed, which is nice, but kine was routed to behind the motherboard then through the cutout for the motherboard. Which made it basically too long. I scraped off a part of the pcie cable shielding when trying to install my graphics card, and I had to bend the riser cable to get it to fit. If you dont bend the cable, it will be long enough to push against the fan, rendering it useless. The pic I have is after I rerouted the cable, but as you can see it blocks the 80mm fan a good bit. I didn't install any 2.5in drives, but there is space for them. Overall very happy with the case other than the riser which is just too long. Is usable, just have to bend it.

Easy to build. Very nice looking case.I wish it had enough space to add at least one more fan or a small AIO, but the thermals are still very impressive.What I am most surprised by is the customer support. I reached out to Zalman about a problem I was having and they were extremely kind and helped me without hesitation.

I really love this it's case, the gpu is slightly off and the feel of the metal feels a little rough. Other than that I absolutely love this case. Unfortunately it's just a bit too Small and I couldn't fix my CPU fan. Also my Itx motherboard Sata port points to the PSU. If only it was an inch longer and wider it would be perfect. Still amazing it's case depending on your setup.

I am very pleased with the purchase. The body is perfect for me. Thank you
