Zalman unsheaths the R1 white: The best case you have never heard of

[zacRupnow]

How the hell did you get it to cost that much?!

[zacRupnow]

Zalman Define R-patent-war

[totjup5]

35 dollars for that?!? Wow that's good!

[christos0101]

At first... i thoght.. "why is that the best case"...

But after i saw the price i want to buy one... just for fan

[Agent181]

Not bad but damn that price, is it made out of really cheap plastic?

[SpaceCore]

for $35 this is the best thing I've seen yet.

[Toddwjp]

You could go non-modular and pick up a piece of aluminum and a can of spray paint at home depot for like $25. The piece of aluminum could be bent to cover the power supply area. <- thats what I did with my rosewill Challenger.

 

but then your spending more on the case and could just get a better more expensive one ??

[papeles]

i would say that for people on budget, zalman probably has the best products

In case you didnt know here is how the heat is taking in and exhausted out. Note the minor fault that the door in fact doesnt allow air to go through it as amazing at that would be its not true, it gets intake from the side grills on both sides, not amazing but better then nothing. 

 

 

 

I think you are "misreading" this picture:

The picture indicates, that the main intake of this case in under the front door and that it sucks the air in through the gaps between the door and the rest of the case.

 

This is actually really good, since some cases have the front completely closed and mostly suck air in from the side, which can cause some problems if you, for example, put the case next to your desk or in a shelf (which covers the sides, therefore not allow for a good airflow). 

 

I also think, that those side-intakes are there because the mentioned space around the door is not big enough for when you have two high-powered fans running on full speed - because the additional production-costs wouldn't really be justifiable with "design" only otherwise (as far as I know Zalman).

This looks amazing, I may will get this instead of the nzxt source 210!

[PortentousLad]

really nice review! And quite a case too.

 

HOLY CRAP 30-ish bucks???

[Jacknif]

" Euro: €30 "

 

WUUUUUUUUUUUUUT this is so cheap ! must.get.it

[V4Rdot50]

I have the normal edition http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=925 and is actualy very good case for its price

I think it was the price on release before they lowered it because they realized nobody wanted a phone with worse specs then the Nexus 5 that cost almost twice as much.

But what if that someone likes this case? The case looks good and it has some uniqueness to it.

[raultherabbit]

I was totally hating on this thing, yawning over specs, and about to just tl'dr it but THEN I SAW THE PRICE.  ++ value for what you get with this case.  That's pretty cool.

[ClakeyD]

I wanna hate the front panel color... But something about it.

[Pesmerga]

Wow, for just 30€? I like that *_*

 

I'll probably use it for my first build D:

If you configure one now, it won't cost more than $200 without accessories.

[McMurderMonkey]

I see the master of Zalman has returned in style

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

I came a little
