Zalman CUBIX Compact Mini Tower mATX PC Case, Heavy-Duty 0.8T Steel Chassis, Micro-ATX DTX ITX SFF SFX HTPC Small Form Facto...

I’ve been curious about this case for a while and decided to order it. It is such a neat little case! It is very small, smaller than I expected. I like small cases though so I’m happy with it. This would be perfect for someone who wants a small PC for a TV or need the spare room a standard micro atx case would take. It seems to be decently built. I didn’t realize it came with an 80mm fan for the rear exhaust - nice touch. You can actually mount a 92mm fan for the exhaust if you’d like. It’s drilled out and everything already, as well a 120mm fan in the front for intake. You could probably fit two up front somehow with some thought. I haven’t built in it yet, but the cable management is going to be a mess - it’s expected with a case like this. Nowhere to really hide the cables away like a standard tower. Even so, it could end up being a very clean build. Overall, this is a great case for the price. Small, compact, decent quality materials, great price. Would definitely recommend.

A very compact mATX case, cable management can be a bit of a struggle, but the overall look and size is nice once completed. Build quality seems good for the price, all metal panels. I was able to install an additional 80mm and 120mm fan in the front, mounted with zip ties. I am running a Ryzen 1700x with the Wraith Prism cooler, and an RX570 (MSI Armor OC). Temps are acceptable, even with fan curves that keep everything fairly quiet. The temps aren't quite as good as the same system when in a full ATX tower, but nothing is close to thermal limit throttling. When running a Cinebench R23 and FurMark at the same time, I am getting ~71C on the CPU and ~65C on the GPU while installed in the Cubix case. It can only hold GPUs on the smaller side of things, a single fan or small double fan card are the limit. For the CPU cooler, a downdraft style fits fine, but I am considering the ThermalRight Assassin mini as that is just within the case's limitation of 137mm for the cooler. 5 stars for value. The challenge of building in smaller cases is not unique to this one, so no deduction. Included cable ties are a good thought and well executed at this price point.

Not really for beginners, although it appears that way. Cable management will require some planning if you care about that kinda thing, but overall its a good case. QC could use a bit of attention, one panel was warped causing it to pop in/out when I pick it up.

Cheap and functional, basic and nice looking. It is very affordable but easy to build in and has great airflow for a mid-tier system. This is a great compromise on space, price, cooling, and looks if you want a very simple machine.

Decent small micro atx case. I have a AM4 motherboard with apu, with a PCIe Gen3 NVMe 1TB SSD with no video card or other peripherals except a monitor. So only 2 cables from regular sized modular power supply needed. Cable management not great but works. I wouldn’t recommend this with a video card , but with a simple setup like mine it works great.
