The Zillion Direct doesn’t chase trends, it redefines what an airflow focused case can be. Let’s take a closer look at why this inconspicuous chassis deserves your full attention.
In a market saturated with tempered glass panels, RGB overload, and familiar design tropes, the Super Flower Zillion Direct dares to go in a different direction, one driven by airflow, practicality, and thoughtful experimentation. At first glance, it might not scream for attention, especially with its understated, all-mesh exterior and lack of glass panels. But spend a few minutes with it, and you’ll quickly realize this chassis isn’t just different for the sake of being different; it’s different because it’s deliberately engineered to prioritize performance and usability over design trends.
In this review, we’ll dive deep into what makes the Zillion Direct stand out, covering everything from build quality and thermals to design quirks and noise levels. While it may not be for everyone, especially those craving showpiece RGB spectacles behind glass, it offers an incredibly compelling case for those who believe airflow is king and function is the new form.

This is actually a cool case. The mesh side panel is a good compromise on displaying your parts and airflow. Too bad Superflower does not have a wide presence in my country and as such their cases and power supplies are rarely available.
Since the start of this year, you have been focusing primarily on the sound characteristics of PC cases. Although, this case is the worst in the noise damping and even “outperform” XPG Invader X Mini :o, has no mention about this finding in the negatives. This result looks like the case is a high frequency amplifier (from 5 to 9 kHz) …so someone who has a problem with coil whine should avoid it. Don’t you think? 😉

thank you! We will check them.
Thank you for taking the time to read our review! We’ve taken your feedback into account and have updated the article to include a note about the case’s noise-damping performance.
While perforated side panels generally offer inferior noise damping compared to glass panels, it’s also worth highlighting the surprisingly good acoustic performance of the stock fans, something we don’t see very often.
👍
–“…While perforated side panels generally offer inferior noise damping compared to glass panels…”
Yes, I know 😉 … though, the benefit of a mesh side panel for temperatures and airflow pattern can be negligible to undetectable 😉
Maybe, even counterproductive in high-pressure scenarios…what can’t be said about the sound 🙂

…not even talking about dust maintenance 😀
