Hi I'm trying to decide what case to get for my new build. They both have there good points.

First zalman z11 plus
http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?I...

Pros.
Front fan
I like the window allot.
5 included fans
Looks the best

Cons.
Usb 3.0 (front) has to plug into back
No fan controler on case (is this a good thing to have?)


Vs

Zalman ms800 plus
http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?I...

Pros.
Newest model from zalman
Gpu bracket to stop them sagging
Case fan controls ( i like this allot as I will be producing music and recording but can't you just do this on the software)
A fan u can direct at what ever you want on the inside
Looks good

Cons.
No front fan
About £30 more
(have not worked out how the 3.0 front case ports are connected yet as can't see it on any reviews)

Please feel free to check out the links as I might of missed something
Which one dovyou think is better and are case fan controlers worth it and gpu holders worth shaping out for a front fan

The MS800 Plus uses a typical USB 3.0 header that will plug into your motherboard, which is quite nice and keeps the case cleaner looking on the outside.

Really I don't think you can go wrong with either case with regards to cooling. Personally I'd go for the MS800, though.

Even though my mother board got 6 Usb 3 slots at the back still was not keen in having them poking out and obstructing the audio plug in. The ms800 does look more professional and sleek so with the case fan controler is it better to have it? How would this effect me optimizing it on the software?
