Correct me if I'm wrong; cloning such cases until it reaches the quality of original will be quite costly, such that the price of each will rise close to the original?

This is very true.

No need to hope at all. Right up on the top, the first 2 words (in green) of the title mean ''I will buy it for you'' (my paraphrase).
Actually, near the bottom of the page, it spells everything out so clearly.
They are just a reseller. They buy an item from an official channel and then sell it to you. The technical name is 'Delegated purchase' or simply an agent (like Superbuy).

Ah, thanks for clarifying!

Nice! Thanks for sharing! Seems you faired better in customizing through superbuy. Hopefully you can get your ideal case. I am still on the edge on whether to buy another case or just upgrade to a better low profile cooler, like the recent AXP90 Cu. My L9i couldn't keep my r3600 cool enough.
How goes your 3600 temps?
I am planning to build components including 3600
That's my dream SFF case, plenty of rooms for a wider and taller cpu cooler, unfortunately, seller seems to be away

Quite warm with L9i. Idle temps ranges between 50-55C but easily spikes to 60-70C when just doing light tasks as that is how the Ryzen CPU works. It makes the fan ramping up and down which is a a bit annoying. While gaming it usually at 70-75C, Cinebench will raise it to a toasty 85C and Prime95 will make it hit temp limits at 95C and throttles. The ASUS bios is also annoying compared to my previous AsRock board as the critical temp is only at 75C and I cannot increase it in the BIOS manually so the fan will run close to 100% most of the time at that temp. Hence looking for better low profile coolers or changing to a bigger case to fit tower coolers.

My 3600 also idle around 50-55C. I have used Jonsbo hp400, Jonsbo+Noctua fan, Cryorig c7 copper, C7Cu+120 mm noctua fan. The Cryorig C7 copper+120 mm fan is my best combo so far, and also under volt by 0.10v help cool the cpu a bit. I have Formula Loli 2s case (182 X 114 X 220 mm).

Yeah, thats another option. Will look at those cases. Thanks.
Metalfish S5 looks good as well, dunno about case quality overall
Maybe less ''premium'' than sunmilo but price is insane, 359 RMB and it has enough room for an 135 mm CPU Cooler^^

Nice, whats your temps? I bit the bullet and bought the new AXP90 Copper just to try.

Do you have any dent, scratch from the case itself?
I got Jonsbo cases and every time, cases look perfect with no sign of any imperfection
However its a model within 50-80$ lol

Visually its fine without any scratches or dents, but the panels needs a bit of pushing and aligning the screws to fit them in as its slightly misaligned. Still acceptable though considering the price.

If anyone is interested, I contacted the seller of the ZS-A4 through superbuy and he said he will offer color customization on the ZS-A4 V2, it will just take a little longer.

Hi guys, just want to share my own list. This is just for my own reference and I thought it might help others. Not all info are accurate, either due to subpar translation or not enough information like with swapping certain components or limitation if using a larger GPU or PSU. If in doubt, please do your own research or contact the seller as some specifications might be outdated.

EDIT: Added other cases

Hi guys, just want to share I own list from what I found here. This is actually just for my own reference and I thought it might help people here. The cases listed here are all M1/classic layout without riser. Not all info are accurate due to subpar translation and please do your own research as its missing incompatibilities with swapping certain components or limitation if using a larger GPU or PSU so please take it only for reference. If in doubt, please contact the seller as some specifications might be outdated.

EDIT: Updated table to include various sandwich and flex psu cases as an overall picture. Sorry in advance for any mistakes/inaccuracies

I have a question that may seem dumb, but I'm just trying to figure it out. If I didn't get the PCI-e riser cable that was recommended for the cases I bought off tabao, are they all the same? If I know the lenght can I just buy one off amazon?

Thanks guys.

Technically yes, it will work. But those screw holes fixing itself to the chassis have no standards, so you might want to check them before you buy one.

Just replaced my L9i to the AXP90 Cu to cool my R5 3600 in the DSE Breathe and dropped my idle and load temps around 5-10C. Originally my idle temps was at 50-55C and now its closer to 40-50C. Load temps under Cinebench was 85-90C but now it was 80-85C peak when finished. Prime95 immediately reach thermal throttle at 95C with L9i but now it manages to hover at 92C for a while until it reached thermal throttle anyway. I didnt swap the fan yet as its decent but a bit louder than the noctua. I dont have the Cryorig C7/C7G cooler for comparison so others may have more info. Good impression overall.
