Introduction
I would like to thank
Zalman for supplying the review sample.
The Zalman Z3 Iceberg we are reviewing is a mid-tower chassis that aims to offer sensible features at a price point of around $80. That puts it up against a slew of options out there, so it will be interesting to see how it holds up. The Z3 Iceberg is available in either black or as a white version with a few little touches of black here and there. We got the white variant for review, so let's dive right in.

Packaging
The Z3 Iceberg ships in a brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on the two larger sides. Zalman placed the specifications of the enclosure in multiple languages on both sides. Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place, while a plastic bag has been placed over the enclosure to protect it from scratches and fingerprints during packing at the factory.
