ZALMAN Shows Z-MACHINE 500 open frame PC case with curved tempered glass

I suspect that most of us are too conservative for such a 'unique' looking case but I think it looks rather handsome & interesting, I'd cover it when I wasn't using it to keep the dust out but what about noise levels? My new 3080 gaming rig is in a CoolerMaster H500 Mesh case which is a great way to show off your components whilst keeping acoustics at an acceptable level although when playing AAA games like Metro Exodus with RT (without DLSS) & Extreme quality, my Corsair AIO 360 is working hard (and I don't use the OC mode for my 10700K). My ASUS Rog Thor 850w Platinum OLED screen shows 500w or 530w if I switch the 3080 to super OC mode at 1935 Mz from 1905. Using the 10700K in OC at 5 GHz is 560w.

 

Not a bad looking showpiece case and, as usual, has a price to match.

I will rather have 10 of these, than a single Corsair build.
