I'm looking to get a budget case and it looks like the Akasa Zen seems the best buy in my price range. My current case has a dead spot air flow wise where my graphics card is and it's not helping my temperatures, both for my system or my graphics card.

I've considered getting a case with a large side fan to combat this problem, but I haven't seen one that looks as good as the Zen, but I can only justify to myself getting the Zen if it has good cooling properties.

Does anyone know if the Zen does provide decent cooling, for the system as a whole, but also for the graphics card?

I noticed there are no fans in that area but it does have a side and rear vent, so I'm hoping the case has good air circulation to help keep card temps down.

TIA, dagwoood.
 
Looks like a good case, 120mm in 120mm out.

Grill at the bottom for dragged in airflow to cool the graphics card(s)

80mm Blow hole for cool air to the cpu.

Apparently the paint chips quite easily but a bargain for 30 odd quid.

p.s it comes with 2 x 120mm fans

# Optimised cooling with Intel recommended chassis airflow
# 12cm front and rear fans are included to provide maximum airflow and super silent operation
# Direct HDD cooling
# Rear and side vents for maximum airflow
# Concealed easy access I/O panel in the front
# Digital lifestyle front panel
# Tool free 5.25 inch drive installation
 
i just got one. the fans, on top speed settings, just dont seem to be pushing air, by way of hand touch, compared to a cheap 99p 80mm fan i got, which pull a load of air
