Catfished By Amazon Cheap PC Case PCZZOI H3 ATX Unboxing & Review

First Impressions & Discrepancies
Mike immediately addresses the "catfish" aspect: the Amazon product images can be misleading. The front mesh, which appears open and airflow-friendly in the photos, is actually very tight and restrictive on the actual case. The "wood effect" trim is a solid piece of plastic, not a peelable vinyl, though it can be customized. The case, while aesthetically pleasing to Mike, is quite flimsy, with noticeable flex and some minor bending straight out of the box.

Features & Limitations
Fans: It includes two 140mm front fans and one 120mm rear fan. While they have PWM plugs, they are DC controlled and click loudly in PWM mode. In DC mode, their RPM readings are highly unstable. Mike suggests replacing them for a better experience.

Radiator Support: The case supports up to a 360mm radiator in the front, but only a 240mm (possibly 280mm with a tight fit) in the top due to construction.

Cooler & GPU Clearance: It offers generous clearance for CPU air coolers (up to 190mm) and GPUs (up to 360mm).

Side Panel: Features a hinged, fully enclosed glass side panel that can be easily removed. However, one of the magnets holding the glass closed fell off during transit.

Cable Management: There's limited space behind the motherboard tray (around 8-10mm), making cable management challenging, especially with braided PSU cables. Flat cables are highly recommended.

Storage: Includes a drive tray for a 3.5-inch drive and mounting for two 2.5-inch drives/SSDs. The drive tray can be moved for front radiator clearance but encroaches on PSU space.

I/O: The top I/O includes a single USB 3.0 Type-A port, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, individual headset and mic jacks, power, reset buttons, and a strangely redundant RGB/LED button with no included controller or LED fans to connect to.

PSU Ventilation: The bottom PSU intake features a very tight mesh filter combined with round holes, which severely restricts airflow and might suffocate the PSU. Mike strongly advises removing this filter.

Vertical GPU Mount: The option for a vertical GPU mount is present at the back, but it places the GPU very close to the glass, potentially harming airflow.

Conclusion
Despite its "catfish" appearance and flimsiness, the PCZZOI H3 ATX offers some decent features for its ultra-budget price point (£30-£33). However, potential buyers should be aware of its limitations, particularly the poor fan quality, restricted PSU airflow, and tight cable management. Mike suggests it's best suited for air-cooled, inexpensive builds. He encourages viewers to share their thoughts and suggest alternative budget cases in the comments.
