Unboxing the case left me rather excited because this was a design that looked fresh and new to me. At the same time it wasn't too out there. I also noticed that it was very light when I lifted it out of the box, and that it was a lot heavier in the front than in the back. This is mainly because that's where most of the metal is, e.g. the drive bays, but also because of the very sturdy door that opens and closes with a rigid feel to it. Quality feel all the way. It should even out when you get the power supply in there.

Preinstalled fans usually don't make us jump for joy because they add a lot to the price and are seldom as good as you want. In the case of Ikonik Zaria A20, the fans are not top notch, but not too shabby either. The fans themselves do not have variable RPM, but you get a very potent system for controlling them. Ikonik calls it SIM - System Intelligent Management. It comes with six fan connectors and four thermal probes that you can place to your liking. SIM reminds us of ESA and it offers many similar features. There will also be a cheaper version without the SIM.

We'll take a closer look at it later. Below are the specifications of the three fan models included. Considering the 160 dollars Ikonik is asking for the case the fans doesn't seem to add too much to price.

Ikonik sends along a small accessory box. It contains stand-offs, screws, cable ties, microfiber cloth, and the one-page manual. Inside the case you will also find the slides for the harddrives and the optical drives.


One slider is missing

The manual might seem a little "thin", but it contains pretty much everything you need to know about the installation process, including pin configurations for the USB and audio headers.

Moving on to what made me want to review this case.
