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.

  • The case can work well for a budget build at $30 with free shipping, and it can satisfy buyers who want a brand-new mATX case.

  • The included 3x 120mm RGB fans can provide visible lighting through the diffused front while still prioritizing airflow.

    GrimJet

  • The case can include enough standoff hole coverage to make a solid installation possible for some motherboards.

    swechsler

  • The case can include a workable GPU fit for some builds, even though the fit may be tight.

  • The case can suffer from vibration or resonance, including glass panel rattling or persistent resonance from a tab at certain RPMs.

    GrimJetswechslerGrimJet

  • The RGB lighting can be non-addressable, so fan speed controls the colors and limits you to rainbow-style effects unless you replace the fans.

    GrandmasterBBCswechsler

  • Bottom intake fan mounting can be difficult because the mounting holes can be too small, and some rubber fan holders may not work.

    scholzpdx

  • GPU clearance can be insufficient for larger cards, such as a 317mm 3080 Ti, despite a listed 280mm clearance.

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.
yeah, it drove me nuts. no matter how I bent that tab or tried to adjust it i'd still get resonance vibration, super annoying. I dumped it and bought an okinos matx case from amazon, far FAR better build quality. thicker metal, snap together screwless panels on all sides, it's sick.
it's the mini art 4, but it's $54 not $30. well worth the extra 20 though. tons of room in it for it's size.

Have a similar case (Okinos Aqua 3) that just has the ports on the side vs the front. Very satisfied with that case as my build was an mATX for the living room. $30 is a no brainer.

DO NOT buy this POS. I should have listened to the guy above. I got this today. I thought this case was literally made out of plastic. I am returning this tomorrow. This should be $20 at tops.

yeah it's really bad. $20 would be an ok price for it, but even that is a stretch.
This is the best matx case I've dealt with so far. This thing is a little beast. thicker metal, perforated mesh everywhere, fantastic quality, for the price it can't be beat imo.

This is such a weird design. Can't see inside at all. If it wasn't mesh, this is like the mid 2000s style case.

it's airflow focused instead of looks. though if you have rgb fans they do show through diffused, they look pretty cool actually.
