Zalman Z10 DS Black is quite the eye-catcher at the 2024 Computex. The HYTE Y70 Touch built a whole new niche of cases that utilized its 5th side (front-left corner edge) to have a touchscreen that spanned the height of the case. The Zalman DS Black takes things up a notch. While it may not be a 5-sided case like the Y70, it uses the front-facing glasshouse to position a 15.6-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio, and 1080p resolution. This display connects to your graphics card, and can be used as a second monitor, ideally dedicated to displaying widgets, gadgets, monitoring tools, or visualizations. Unlike the display in the Y70 Touch, Zalman's display isn't a touchscreen. If you don't need the monitor inside the case, Zalman provides a kit with which the panel can be turned into a regular desktop monitor, and get replaced in the case with a regular mesh intake.
The Z10 DS Black is an ATX mid-tower that measures 474 mm x 220 mm x 488 mm (LxWxH), with clearances for graphics cards up to 39.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17.3 cm in height. The horizontally partitioned case features 8 fan mounts, three 120 mm along the top, two side-facing, two along the bottom, and one at the rear. The Zalman P40 Snow White is a design evolution over the pillarless cases we've come across this year. While most such cases tend to have glass panels along the front and left side, without a pillar between them, the P40 Snow White even does away with the metal top panel, so you have glass on three sides, without pillars where they meet each other. It's just that the top-left corner has a trigonal metal joint for the three panels to align.
The mid-tower measures 460 mm x 235 mm x 485 mm (LxWxH). The bottom portion has perforations, which is how the case breathes. There side-facing 120 mmm fan mounts are recessed into the motherboard tray; there are three additional fan mounts along the base of the top compartment, and a 120 mm rear exhaust. Four ARGB 120 mm fans come included with the case.
The P30 Wood is a spacious Micro-ATX tower case. Its front mesh intake has a few wood pillars. The case measures 453 mm x 235 mm x 429 mm (LxWxH), and offers room for graphics cards up to 42 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17.3 cm in height. Cooling options include a 360 mm radiator mount along the top, another such mount along the base of the motherboard tray, and a 240 mm facing the side. As with the P40, the P30 has its side facing vents recessed to not get in the way of longer graphics cards. The case comes in white and black variants.
A slightly compacted version of the P30 Wood is the P10 Wood, measuring 418 mm x 216 mm x 422 mm, with slightly tighter clearances of 38 cm for the graphics card. It also does away with the side-facing fan mounts, so you only have a 240 mm front mount, 360 mm bottom mount, and 240 mm top mount, besides the 120 mm rear.
The P30 Black is a variation of the P30 wood with identical dimensions, but the front intakes make way for a glass panel that has a pillarless contact with the left side panel.
The P50 Wood is an upscale ATX mid-tower that's larger and better equipped than the P40 Wood. It measures 475 mm x 240 mm x 506 mm. The larger dimensions are used for a 420 mm x 140 mm front mount, 140 mm rear mount, 360 mm side mounts, and 360 mm along the base of the motherboard tray. While the P40 Wood has a few wood pillars, the P50 has a wood mesh. Want this exact case but without the front intake or the woodwork? Check out the P50 DS Black, with its pillarless glasshouse instead.
