Don't expect miracles!

- At 45€, it is the cheapest case available at LDLC (much more expensive than the competition, that's rare!). We agree that you shouldn't expect top of the range, no tempered glass and ARGB.
- No, it's not good quality. The metal is particularly thin, be careful not to bend anything. Especially the PCI slots. By the way, remove the necessary slot covers before installing the CM; they are so fragile that they bend, it would be a shame to damage a CM component.
- Be careful with the screw threads which are as fragile as the metal is thin. Do not overtighten.
- The motherboard spacers are already mounted (ATX configuration). Be careful to use the screws provided (and the right ones! read the manual). The screw pitch looks specific...
- No rack or silent block for HDD. It's scratchy, it's back to the sweet sound of 90's PCs
- The cable management is quite well done, there is enough space between the panel and the CM to hide the superfluous.
- The supplied fan does its job. In the worst case, its noise is covered by that of the CPU fan and the hard disk.
- Plugs for the USB and jack plugs on the top are provided. This is very useful to prevent the whole thing from getting dusty.
? Ideal for giving old components a new lease of life. And the look is "not so bad".
? For 45€ it's very good.

Good value for money

I bought this case to build a simple and not too expensive PC, and it is an excellent value for money and space

A little disappointed

I am a little disappointed with this case. Lack of space for the management cable at the back. But I was expecting that for the price.

Zalman T6 case

Great case, I didn't know much about the brand but I'm not disappointed. The space is sufficient and comes with a rear fan. The price is still low, thanks ldlc. I recommend it.

A disaster

Beyond the aesthetic side which is rather good, in terms of silence it is a disaster.

I had a 15 year old tower, front and side panels open because the fan was too high, I had no noise with a 1660Ti and 4 hard disks, 2 of which were ultra quiet HDDs.

First thing, and it was a bad choice on my part at the beginning, I would advise against taking this tower if you have a lot of hardware, because it is a hell to install. The HDDs and SSDs are impossible to install as is, I had to put in only one screw to make a small rotation and be able to plug in the power supply and sata.

And then, in terms of noise, help! A catastrophe, my two HDDs that I had never heard before made a hellish noise at each access, like the old disks from 20 years ago. One of them in particular, being connected directly to the base of the tower on the floor, a big design error. So I offered it to a friend who just had an SSD, consumer use, more suitable than for me and I was forced to order another tower.

Despite a nice design, overall, I don't recommend it :/

Does the job, in low cost mode

Well, at that price, you shouldn't expect luxury, that's for sure.
The metal is very cheap, the mdoe to fix the SSD is weird, but for the rest, it does the job ...
Some of the sockets (especially USB) don't seem to be perfectly machined, which means you have to force yourself to plug a key into them.
Aesthetically, it's sober, exactly what I wanted!

case

The basis for a solid setup. Product conforms, fast delivery, everything is ok and easy to assemble. I recommend it.

Beautiful case

The only thing I regret is the placement of the power supply at the top of the case, which is a mistake on Zalman's part. A lower placement with ventilation from the bottom of the case would have been welcome.

Nickel

Complete box, well packed and beautifully finished for the price. Just a little difficulty assembling the stainless steel socket cover - surprisingly the rest of the parts fitted perfectly.

It does the job... no more

to receive a simple configuration, it's fine.
The high position of the power supply remains an aberration in my opinion, question of stability.
I'm happy with it.

Cheap for simple configuration

For a simple configuration with a single SSD, this case does the job. Given the price, I'm glad to find a rear fan provided and not too noisy.

As mentioned by others, there is no hard drive cage. Any drives must be screwed directly to the walls. Depending on the cables you have this can be a problem. In addition, your disks will be subjected to the vibrations of the case.

One point less for the power supply at the top.

I did not find the installation of an ATX card difficult. I like the buttons and three ports on the top of the case.

I waited a year before writing this review so I can say that this case lasts at least that long. The rear fan does not show any signs of weakness for example. But it is in a well-dusted room.

A good, inexpensive box, but beware of HDDs

The case is not bad for the price.
The design is simple, well finished and the fan is quiet.

But you have to keep in mind that this is an entry-level case: the case is thin, and its only real drawback is the inconvenient HDD slots.

Indeed, the disks are not installed in "drawers" like in other cases, they are placed against the wall (bottom or front) which forces to use straight connectors (SATA and power supply).
If for SATA it's not a problem (straight cables are common) for the power supply it's another story.
Indeed, most power supply cables are bent (the wires arrive at 90° to the socket) and will have to be bent for the connection to be possible.

A solution could be to put spacers to raise the disc a few millimetres.

Perfect box for small budget

This case is perfect. It looks great, is very light and allows for many possibilities. The only negative side is that there is not even a slide provided to put an SSD or HDD in front of it. And the metal is a bit weak (thin plate) but if not I love this tower!

Tip to put a fan in the front: You have to pull the bottom of the front panel. It's scary, but it's the only option :P

True to the brand

I most often opt for this brand when I have to assemble a new one. It's always spacious and practical as well as solid, and all at an affordable price.

I recommend

Good product at a reasonable price

l is best configured with modular power supplies (very few cables to maximise configuration), otherwise you have cables in the case in all directions. So a basic to medium pc configuration with some experience.
I'd like to see the basic cpu fan + a front fan not supplied (rear exhaust fan supplied). It's a good idea to have a fan on the front of your computer.
I have a 4 core intel E6500 with its base fan, an nvidia gt 440, a classic dd, a front fan (which I added), a player/writer/dvd/cd, a semi-modular power supply. All of this is a bit of a "shoe-in" for optimal ventilation. Which means: with almost all the cables trapped between the right cover and the main cage (seen from the front, and this is really what can be considered a performance). But if you're not a fan of storing cables for airflow, this is a nice case and your small or medium-sized rig will fit in perfectly.

Great!

Very nice little ergonomic case. I particularly like the on-off controls and the usb and audio inputs on the top, (at home I put the tower on the floor). No problem with dust, special little covers fit in the holes, like little rubber stoppers. The look is nice, simple, very light. I put in an ATX motherboard + 2 SSDs without any problem. The hard drives are standing upright, so you save space. The included system fan is quiet, without any problems. I am very happy with my purchase.

it is worth its price

the screws should not be tightened too much, the sheet metal is very thin and can be deformed easily.
it's a pain to place hard drives...
not bad for a low price configuration

A surprising first prize!

The case was chosen for its price (37,94€), and for the height of the cooling unit allowed (165mm).
What a surprise to see that the case is compatible with my old Cooler Master Hyper 612S, and even its backplate is accessible after fixing the motherboard (Asrock H110M-HDV R3)!
Of course, such a fan is probably oversized to cool the 65W of an i5-6600 (33°C max), but what a joy to be able to reuse old hardware!

As this is a PC used as a media-center and placed behind the TV, I find the buttons and USB ports well placed on the top, although it is controlled from the sofa with power on via USB.

Of course, the box is not perfect:
- Power supply on top, so it is ventilated by the hot air inside which is not very efficient...
- The 3.5" hard drive is fixed directly to the chassis at the bottom, which transmits vibrations...

But frankly, for the price it's quite acceptable.

No need for more

Perfect tower, cheap and sufficient.
It arrived slightly dented at my place, but nothing serious.
If you plan to have more than one hard drive, and you have a big graphics card, it might be complicated, there is little room for hdd's.

Nice case for simple configurations

This case is clean and sober in its design, I love the concept of storing the hard drives inside. Very good value for money for this case!
The negative point is that there is nothing to store the cables properly.

A very good value box

A small, high case is ideal for a mATX motherboard and an SSD. It will be more difficult to fit an ATX motherboard, and a modular power supply is best if you put an optical drive and HDD on the 5.25" bracket on top.

The pluses :
_ Very nice exterior finish despite the 35€ price tag
_ Delivered with all screws and bolts, clamps, replacement PCI brackets, 2 SATA cables, 1 fan
_ Limited but existing space for cable storage
_Ventilation

The minuses :
_ Power supply in high position
_ 1 HDD slot 3.5" not so good
_ Broken cable fixing brackets
_ Fan cable routing at the front

In conclusion, if you want to make a simple office or multimedia configuration, this case is very good. Be careful if you want to put a lot of hardware in it.

Very well ventilated case but slightly damaged on delivery

The case is very well ventilated but the cable management is very difficult to hide, one end of the pc arrived slightly bent, it's a shame. Overall happy with my purchase.
