Zalman i3 Midi-Tower Case - Black Window Midi Tower

The Zalman i3 Midi-Tower Black is a mid-tower PC case with a black steel-and-plastic exterior, an acrylic side panel and preinstalled white LED fans for improved airflow. The chassis places the power supply at the bottom and supports Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX and ATX motherboards. It accepts both 2.5" and 3.5" drives and provides front I/O including two USB 2.0 ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port.

Advantages

The case includes three 120mm white LED fans at the front and one 120mm fan at the rear to promote effective ventilation. A dedicated 2.5" SSD slot and two 3.5" bays accommodate typical storage configurations while the bottom-mounted PSU location helps to create a cleaner internal layout. The acrylic side panel offers a clear view into the build without increasing overall dimensions.

How to use

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, maintain unobstructed airflow through the front intake fans and rear exhaust fan. Use cable management to improve internal airflow and consider adding additional fan control or a higher-capacity CPU cooler if you plan on high-performance components.
