Zalman's new Z9-Plus line of cases started selling. The lineup consists of the Z9-Plus (base model), and Z9-Plus DIII (a variant with an in-built 2-channel fan controller and internal digital thermometer). Measuring 207 x 504 x 460 mm (WxDxH), and weighing about 7.2 kg, the ATX mid-tower cases are made of SECC steel and ABS plastic. The Z9-Plus features three 5.25-inch; one exposed and five discrete 3.5-inch drive bays, from which one supports a pair of 2.5-inch drives. The cases are largely tool-free, with cutouts that help manage cable-ramen and CPU coolers. Ventilation includes one each of front, rear, and side 120 mm spinners. The top DIII variant is priced around US $60, the base model could be about $10 cheaper.

It's ugly :eek:

The front & side panel of this case are way not my style. 5 x 5.25" Bays in 2012 going into 2013? Why? :confused:

You can fit at least 3 SSDs in a 5.25'' bay. Be creative. :)

My creativity tells me that I don't need drive cages at all and might be able to fit a 360 rad in front :laugh:
