High airflow micro ATX PC case on a budget - Zalman M5 Unboxing & Review

If you've been in the DIY PC scene for long enough, Zalman should be a brand that rings a bell. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in South Korea, Zalman became really popular all thanks to its "flower CPU coolers" that were first launched in the early 2000s. The brand then encountered a slew of high-profile company issues from the mid-2010s, and maintained a somewhat low profile since then.

Fast forward to today, Zalman's been quietly building up its portfolio of products, ranging from CPU coolers, PC cases and even power supply units - for this review, we'll be looking at a new budget-friendly high airflow PC case in the micro ATX form factor, the Zalman M5. Available in a black colourway, the M5 ships with four pre-installed 120mm ARGB case fans, and features a tempered glass side panel that allows you to showcase your PC build in style. Watch on to learn more about this case, and to see it as part of a mid-range demo PC build featuring an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 processor and a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card!
