Soldato
The Z9 has a fan filter at the front. There is one at the bottom too, read or watch a video review of the case. It has it's quirks but you cant grumble at the price. I own the case and if you want to use it to save some cash, I'm happy to give you some setup tips.
How about this, As you can see into either case I'll go red with the CM case you liked
