Zalman has expanded the existing Z9 case series with two new "Plus" models.
The company is offering the Z9-Plus base model and the Z9-Plus DIII, which will ship with a 2-channel fan controller and an internal digital thermometer.
Both cases are virtually identical with the Z9 mid tower cases that have been offered for nearly two years, and offer three 5.25-inch slots and five 3.5-inch drive bays, one of which can be used to install two 2.5-inch devices.
The cases include three 120 mm fans, positioned with blue LEDs behind a mesh grill on the front, back and side. Buyers can choose to replace the 120 mm fans on the back and side with a 140 mm version. Prices are expected to start around $50.

The Vento 3600 looks great, using it right now. Unfortunately its got terrible cooling characteristics.
For only $50 you get ALOT of features you would normally only find on $80+ cases. I actually nabbed my Z9+ for only $34.99 with free shipping. lol. NCIX has them on sale all the time, and the cases get exellent reviews from websites and the customers that bought them. Too bad Tom's hasn't looked at reviewing them yet. Hopefully they will be in the next budget case review/roundup.

apple would sue them then since they think they invented rounded corners on stuff, apple is even trying to sue my dead great great great grandfather for making a table with rounded corners over 200 years ago.
IDK for sure about being that much better than any other case at their price points, but I'll admit that they are at the very least among the best in class for their price points.
