Zalman case ATX - Chronix BLACK V2 - 3 x 120 mm A-RGB, USB-C, Tempered Glass

Zalman Chronix BLACK V2 is a Middle Tower case for ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX configurations, aimed at gaming and more serious enthusiast builds. The design features a clean black chassis with tempered glass and three included 120 mm A-RGB fans for aesthetics and airflow from the case. Support for multiple water radiators (up to 360 mm on top) gives you the freedom for more serious cooling. The built-in USB 3.1 Type-C port on the front panel makes it easier to work with modern peripherals and fast external storage.

What you get is a flexible chassis where you can comfortably fit a standard ATX motherboard, larger GPUs, and serious cooling without sacrificing airflow or aesthetics. The three included 120 mm A-RGB fans provide basic but adequate airflow and save you additional costs at the start. The cooling options – from 120 mm at the back to 360 mm on top and side radiators – allow you to configure the system based on whether you prioritize silence, temperatures, or aesthetics. The tempered glass showcases the hardware and RGB, so you can see the result of the build, not just the numbers in the specifications. The front I/O with USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.1 Type-C makes the case convenient for everyday use, streaming, and peripherals without constantly reaching behind the machine.

• Support for ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards, so you can transition from a compact build to a full-format gaming configuration without changing the case.
• Middle Tower form factor that balances sufficient internal space and reasonable external dimensions for a desk or under it.
• Power supply placement at the bottom, which helps for better airflow and cleaner cable management in the main chamber.
• Support for water cooling 120/240/280/360 mm on top, 120 mm at the back, and 120/240 mm on the sides, giving you the freedom to upgrade from a compact AIO to a more serious multi-rad configuration.
• Side panel made of tempered glass, which shows the GPU, cooling, and RGB, and is more durable than regular plexiglass.
• Front I/O with 1 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0, HD Audio, and 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C, so you can connect fast flash drives, external drives, and modern devices directly from the front.
• 3 included 120 mm A-RGB fans, which provide basic airflow and visual accent right out of the box, without needing to buy fans separately.

Who it is suitable for – if you are looking for a case for a gaming build or a powerful all-round PC with an ATX motherboard, good ventilation, and a ready A-RGB setup, the Chronix BLACK V2 fits perfectly. It is also suitable if you plan to use water cooling and want to have options for radiator mounting. It is not the most logical choice only if you are aiming for an ultra-compact ITX build with maximum space savings.

The combination of ATX support, rich water cooling options, tempered glass, and included A-RGB fans makes the Zalman Chronix BLACK V2 a very sensible base for a modern and visually organized build. You essentially get a case that will not limit your future upgrades, neither in terms of cooling nor in terms of front connectors.
