Zalman's N5 line of cases includes fairly advanced ATX models, mainly designed for building high-performance gaming PCs that require powerful cooling. So, three stock turntables with a diameter of 120 mm are already pre-installed on the front panel of the case, another one is hidden at the back. The total number of coolers can reach up to 8 pcs. According to the current fashion, the 3 front coolers are in the most visible place under the transparent panel and when the backlight is on, they create the illusion of large luminous rings.
Since the case belongs to the middle price category, in order to save money, the manufacturer used 3 mm acrylic instead of ordinary glass for the viewing window on the side. Otherwise, the build quality and thoughtfulness of the Zalman N5 MF internals deserve a solid five. The black-painted metal looks expensive and strong, nothing backlashes or dangles, the ventilation channels in front and on top are equipped with removable dust nets. It is convenient that the impeller speed controls were moved to the main control panel, and did not hide it in a hard-to-reach place behind the case.
Other pluses of the model include a well-thought-out layout, which is great to untie your hands at the beginning of the assembly process. A motherboard of any popular format (ATX, MicroATX, Mini-ITX) is placed on the pallet, the power supply is hidden in the lower compartment, 6 internal compartments are allocated for drives, and cables can be hidden inside the case using a hidden pulling system. Only the narrowed holes of some cables can bring minor inconvenience. You will have to tinker a little to properly "pack" the power cables for the same processor.
