Hi there,

I need to find a new ATX case with a window, fairly good cable management, USB 3.0 port(s) and looks quite good ofc. Looking at the zalman z3, but does anyone else have a good idea of some/any?

I have a Zalman Z3, it is made with rather thin steel which results in a flimsy case that I wouldn't consider using if I intended to move the PC around at all. I think it would be rather easy to dent. If your intention is to just have it sit in the same spot, it is of decent design and building is easy in it.
here are a few other options I like

Although I have not built in either

No pink please haha

Some of these look good, got my eye on that Z12 Plus - the Carbide is a bit out of my price range especially with the window coming in at ~£80 I know it's a tight budget for the spec I need but it must be possible? :D

Don't particularly like the front of that one :( Thanks anyway


As for the Z12, does anyone know if that case uses motherboard USB headers or just an extension lead to the back of the case to plug into a normal USB port?

The USB 3.0 will look like this running from the front top paned to the board.
