Installation

Installation with the Zaria A20 was pretty good with just a few exceptions. I had a few issues with the motherboard mounting screws and had to resort to using a wrench to get them in, and re-attaching the hard drive rack was a little bit cramped. Also the tool-less add-on card bracket was a little tight and difficult to get off, but that's not really something you want to be loose. Aside from those small issues, the Zaria A20 was very easy to get into. Once you remove the hard drive rack, you have plenty of elbow room to move around in and get things installed; there are some wire routing areas as well. Overall, a very easy installation.

Conclusion

The Ikonik Zaria A20 is definitely a nice case. It's got a lot of high end features, and plenty of room for installation. If you require a lot of cooling, the Zaria has you covered with up to three, 120mm fans, and two 80mm fans, as well as tubing holes for any liquid cooling. The outside appearance of the case is stunning and the giant power switch is unique. SIM is definitely a smart feature and something that is also very cool. The Zaria A20 is relatively high end case that comes with a high end price. After searching around, I found the Zaria to be about $130 without the SIM and about $150 with the SIM. That's a bit up there when it comes to cases, especially a mid-tower. But even though the price is steep, it's definitely a high end case. With all theses great features in such a new company, I'm going to have to give the Ikonik Zaria A20 the Techwarelabs Awesome Hardware award for awesomeness. I hope to see more products from Ikonik, and I think they'll do well.
