#AMD #amdryzen #asuspcdiy - If there's one thing I absolute adore, it's Micro ATX builds. Let's check out the Zalman P30 for an affordable all AMD assembly!
Timecodes, though I don't recommend skipping for visual narrative reasons!

The Zalman P30 is perhaps one of the most underrated and lesser known Micro ATX cases I've had the chance to build with recently. I'm not sure why, this case has a lot to offer with some very elegant styling and useful features.
Let's kick things off with the overall fit and finish. Zalman made a great job of the paint and overall build assembly here. The panoramic glass is strong and transparent with filters provided for all vented panels. Cable routing holes are perfectly positioned with more than adequate cable management space in the reverse too. My only reservation would be that the included ARGB fans are only 3-pin, which for the most part is fine, but it would've been nice to see 4-pin PWM control at this point.
The Arctic Freezer 36 absolutely wins a spot in my top 5 for tower cooler innovation and ease of installation. I'm absolutely loving what arctic have done here, the lack of retaining clips makes the whole process so much easier! Performance has been excellent too so that's a huge all around win for Arctic.
For my final thoughts on this build, check out the paragraph below the following links:

To wrap this up, I wanted to explore the possibilities of building a Micro ATX system perfectly capable of pushing 1440p for under $1440 and I think that worked out effortlessly! This is without a doubt one of the easiest systems I've ever built and the rewards are wholesome indeed!
