ZALMAN Outs P30 Air Micro-ATX Tower Case

ZALMAN today introduced the P30 Air line of Micro-ATX mini-tower cases with a design focus on high airflow. The case comes in two color variants—black and white. Its design is characterized by panel perforations along not just the entire front-panel, but also the sides of the bottom half. The left side-panel only covers the upper compartment, the bottom compartment opens from the right side-panel that covers both compartments. ZALMAN included three ARGB-illuminated fans with this case, the front mesh intake has two pre-installed 140 mm spinners, while the rear exhaust is handled by a 140 mm fan. This presence of 140 mm rear exhaust also means that the motherboard tray has a high amount of clearance for tall graphics cards and CPU coolers.

A star attraction with the ZALMAN P30 Air is its motherboard tray, which has strategically located cutouts for motherboards with reverse-facing connectors, such as the ASUS BTF series, and MSI Project Zero series. The motherboard tray has room for graphics cards up to 39.2 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 181 mm in height. The bottom compartment has a single 3.5-inch drive tray, with an additional 2.5-inch mount on top. There are two additional 2.5-inch mounts along the motherboard tray. Besides the two 140 mm front intakes and 120 mm rear exhaust, the case features three 120 mm top exhausts, along which you can mount a 360 mm radiator. Due to its design, a radiator cannot be mounted along the front panel. Measuring 235 mm x 452 mm x 420 mm (WxDxH), the case dry weighs 7.6 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Just take it out. Most probably riveted, bore them out. I've did that in the past a lot.

This particular cage style isnt riveted as only way to install 2nd HDD/SSD on that cage requires removal so all of these are always removable. seems like some desginer found a way to cheap out on material while providing "option" to install 2 drives and you will find almost all the cheap cases on market these days use that style of HDD cage.

How the mATX cases slowly moved to 5 slot standard instead of 4....I mean they don't really have a choice with 3-slots GPUs becoming very common these days.

I wish more mATX cases would do why my now ancient Silverstone Sugo did and stack the PSU above the CPU (where the rear exhaust fan is in this case) to reduce the Y-axis height of the case (otherwise PSU means tons of volume at the bottom of the case that isn't really used for anything).

Keeps cases very small without having to turn to expensive m-itx boards etc.

Add a mesh side panel option, I'd buy one. 140mm fans all'round.
