One of the main selling points for this case for me is the size of 20l. The original Lian Li DAN Cases A3-mATX was supposed to be much smaller in volume. So the Z20 seems to be the only mainstream option for a mATX case with 240mm AiO support.
Its only 2L bigger than the nr200p, making it a decently low profile system, but without all the itx tax making it insanely good price to performance. Not to mention the design awesome
the awkward part is putting a tempered glass on a case designed to be moved often. It should have came with an alternative solid side panel (steel, aluminum or acrylic).
I wonder about that. My guess is that their real intend is that the computer be reasonably easy to move sometimes because you're right, it's nonsensical to have thin sheets of edge to edge tempered glass on a desktop made to be hauled around.
I think the glass side would look a lot better if I had used RGB components. That's the nature of the glass panels. They really do just look reflective and bad without a light from the inside.
@@MrArrakis9 yeah. The budget does not have new equipment in it right now though. You're right about the jello effect. I thought it was funny in the one clip outdoors so I left it in. Thanks for the comment.
I haven't tried it, so this is just a guess: I think it would be easier to have a little extra cable slack, but worse if you have a gigantic GPU. You have to make sure both would fit together. Some combinations of large GPU and ATX PSU are incompatible.

A nice alternative to the deepcool ch160.
Yeah. The CH160 seemed perfect until I learned about its low build quality with thin metal.
@@user-eu5ol7mx8y it's also now illegal to be sold in the us

It looks way better with perforated side panel instead of glass!

nice review, you should consider turning off image stabilization and use a gimble or tripod - it will remove that jello effect in your b-role

@@ChillBuilds Are you by any chance using the Sony ZV-E10? if yes, use sony catalyst browse to stabilize your videos for free.
Where does the psu power cable go?
Love the honesty in the review. Would you say that using an ATX power supply would make cable managing a lot harder?

@ChillBuilds it would be either an arc a770 or red devil rx 5700xt but I'll be trying it. I live near a microcenter if I need to run and grab an sfx
Are the two side panels interchangeable? I'm thinking of building a passively cooled build in this, and don't want the glass for the main side panel.
good ch160 alternative for those in the USA lol.
Good alternative for those in Europe. Ch160 is nowhere to be found over here. 😢
Ok, I found it in Germany.
this looks like a great case but the cheapest i can get it online is 88USD. Some are selling it for 130 to 148USD
Good alternative for the Ch160 now that Deepcool is banned
Think I should dump my CH160 and skip the video? Brand new in box! LOL
@@ChillBuilds i was thinking the same! the mitx mobo is sooo expensive!
I would get this if it had a mesh rather than a glass side panel.
@@OuijTube mesh on both sides would have been a great option.
@@ChillBuilds mesh panel is available as an add-on for 59 RMB
got a legit one for only $55. guess i was lucky hehe
@@wonkyl596 where did you get that deal?
