CiT Zoom PC Gaming Case Mid-Tower ATX, Budget Friendly Rig | Black

Good product but what controller

Not a bad little case for the money, RGB is powered either by 4 PIN Molex (control RGB with button on the case) or 3 pin 5v RGB motherboard header (to control the RGB with software).Unfortunately I didn't know this case uses 3 pin RGB, my motherboard has the 12v 4 pin header so its not compatible.Luckily I'm building another PC that I hadn't decided on a case for which doesn't have RGB control on the motherboard any way so will use this case for the 2nd PC. Probably better suited to a mini ATX motherboard, cable management is difficult with standard ATX as there isn't much room to work with.Overall a nice, well built cheap case but be sure to check your motherboard uses 5v RGB (3 PIN) or that you can use the 4 PIN Molex connector and control the RGB with the button on the case.

Now, I have had some time with this case and am a bit more knowledgeable in the world of RGB i have a few things to say about this case, hopefully it will help you decide whether this is for you.PROSThe case:The case, for its price, is really well designed, visually looks nice, and could easily take pride of place in a prominent spot so you can show off your RGB skills to friends and family. The fact that its actually tempered glass, and not cheap plastic is a welcome addition, giving extra value and quality to the caseThe inside (front):The inside of the case is laid out very well, with space for 2 desktop sized hard drives and extra spaces for smaller laptop (2.5) drives, the front of the case is very clean, meaning you can create beautiful and wonderful displays to give your PC some personalityCONSRGB:This is where I think its a bit of a let down, while the case has RGB, which can be controlled by a button on the top of the case, most people will want the RGB at the front of the case to be synchronised with the motherboard. This requires a special RGB connector cable from the case to the motherboard, while this case has a connector, its the older style 3 pin connector, from what I have experienced, newer motherboards use the 4 PIN RGB connector meaning you cant connect them together. Check very carefully that your motherboard uses 3 pin RGB before purchasing this case.The inside (rear)The space at the rear of the case is very tight to say the least, with very little ventilation for your desktop style mechanical hard drives, i found that the SATA cables made closing the side case panel very difficult, with me exerting a lot of effort to get it closed. The metal of the case is also very thin so putting too much pressure could leave dents and ruin the perfect look of the case. I also found the lack of space an issue if you are interested in cable management, bundling cables together also created so much bulk that the side panel again would struggle to close.ADVICE:Do your homework before purchasing this case, you need to:Ensure you have a 3 PIN RGB header on your motherboardHave some spare fans - this case doesn't come with any, and will get VERY warm if you don't buy additional fans to vent out that heatStay away if you are one of the few who need to install DVD drivesSummary:Overall a nice case, one that can make your PC look great on a budget, however, because of its size, it can be a tight squeeze if you have numerous peripherals and wires at the back.I could only really recommend this to those who have, few peripherals, a modular PSU (less wires) and a compatible 3 PIN RGB motherboard.

Brilliant
