How's Zalman Z11 Plus? (Compared to CM Storm Enforcer or Lian Li K63)

[kaisare]

Hi, I'm still deciding on my computer case and with many recommendations, I am down to 3 cases:

Zalman Z11 Plus
CM Storm Enforcer
Lian Li K63

I heard from many people that they are all great cases, and they are in about the same price range (near $70). I had most recommendations on the Enforcer but because it doesn't have a front USB 3.0 port and having a plastic cover makes to put it on the 3rd list.

I'm thinking about getting Z11 Plus, but because there's less reviews and stuff, I'm not sure if it has good ventilation as well as easy cable management? How is this case?

Also, out of those 3, which one would you recommend and why? Please feel free to recommend other cases near those price range (must be less than $80).

we will need some specs of whats going in this case and if you are going to be water cooling etc.. to be able to make an informed decision.

My system spec is:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k (CPU Fan: CM Hyper 212 Evo)
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
SSD: Crucial 124GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
RAM: G.Skill 16GB (4x4GB)
PSU: OCZ ModXtreme 650W Modular
with CD/DVD Writer and NZXT Fan Controller

I'm not planning on water colling on this case. (I will probably buy a completely new system in 2~3 years - when I get off college and start working)

The Z11 is an amazing case. I'd recommend that over everything else in the options.

ok so what ur looking at here is a good verity here. I would go for the Coolermaster Enforcer. it is a good case with decent airflow and the ability to keep the case tidy. my second pic from your list would be the Zelman as it has alot of features.

i personally like the Enermax Fulmo or the Rosewill blackhawk over your picks but that is just my preference

enermax fulmo (there is a $99 version of this as well.)
