I have this case, picked it up the last time it was on sale for this price. Quality is OK (metal is pretty thin, as expected for a modern case at this price) but it is reasonably attractive. GPU was a tight fit but I did get it in there eventually (they include these plastic clips that you have to use to flatten out the 24 pin power cable, otherwise it won't fit under the card). One note about the fans: the RGB is not independently controllable; the colors are based solely on fan speed. Lowest speed is red and the faster they're running, the more colors you get. Also, it didn't have all the holes to set up every standoff for my Gigabyte board, but there were enough to make it reasonably solid.

The Zalman CUBIX-G is a very cheap micro ATX case that stands out for its airflow focus and included RGB fans. The front mesh and diffused panel let the lighting show through, and the price with free shipping is repeatedly framed as strong value. Fit is tight for larger graphics cards, the 24 pin cable needs the included clips, and the fans are not independently addressable. Thin metal, rattling panels, and no AIO support are the main drawbacks, making it a compact budget build case with clear limits.

  • Micro-ATX builders using short graphics cards, because the case fits compact cards and still leaves enough room for a solid build.

  • Airflow-focused builders who want visible RGB, because the diffused front lets the fans show through and the design prioritizes cooling over looks.

    GrimJetJustyourdadGrimJet

  • Budget builders who want a basic starter tower, because the case is serviceable at $30 with free shipping and can feel reasonably solid for the price.

  • Builders with long graphics cards, because the GPU clearance is tight and cards around 317mm can fail to fit.

  • Users who want quiet, rigid panels, because the thin metal and front clip can resonate and rattle at certain fan speeds.

    GrimJetswechslerGrimJet

  • Builders who need controllable lighting, because the included fans are not addressable and their colors track fan speed instead.

  • Custom loop or AIO builders, because the case does not support an AIO cooler.

This is a genuinely well reviewed budget case. Be aware of that the RGB fans are not addressable so you are stuck with rainbow colors unless you want to change out all the fans.

Also don't expect to be able to mount intake fans on the bottom inside the case. Holes are too small and not even those rubber fan holders worked. I flipped the fan on the right to be intake and helped with temps quite a bit. Barely fit several SKUs of the GTX 1080.

This is a cute case. Imma pair this up with 7500x3d deal i got from Microcenter the other day. Gonna go with an air cooler since TDP is only 65 watt on the CPU. Slap a 3080 this will be my 3rd gaming PC for WoW.

I bought that thing, it's garbage. The thinnest metal they could possibly use, and the glass panels vibrated from the fan resonance at certain rpms. maddening. Understandable for the price point I guess, but it's not very good imo.

Case was very tempting when I saw it posted some months back. Unfortunately there's not enough clearance for my GPU. 280mm clearance while my GPU (a 3080Ti) is 317mm.

I bought this case a while back, paying a bit more than the current offering, but in the end, returned it. This case screams BUDGET. It is extreme in it's use of cheap materials, and your upgrade path is very limited due to it's GPU size restriction. Even at $30, I can't recommend it.

Not with the included fans, no. I mean, you might be able to hack them up to disconnect the LEDs, but there's nothing you can do with the existing cabling. They're cheap fans.

I haven't experienced this, but I can see why it would happen. While the side glass is held in place with thumbscrews and rubber bushings, the front is just held on by a metal clip top and bottom, and it does rattle when tapped (this could also be a QC issue, but I can't imagine they have much QC on a $30 case). You could probably silence it with some thin rubber weatherstripping if you feel ambitious, but at that point you're probably better off buying a better case.
