Ok so choosing a case for a new build and stuck between a Zalan Z9 Plus and Z11 Plus. I know the Z11 looks are controversial but i Ok with them.

The Z11 plus has 2xUSB2 and 2xUSB3 the Z9 only 4XUSB2.

Most of my peripherals would be plugged at the back to the MOBO which will have USB3 (Gigabyte Z87) I usually have my wifi stick in the front and from time to time a memory stick thats usually about it. The Z9 is out of stock for 1-2 weeks which is frustrating ad I hear the two side fans of the Z9 don't really contribute much due to blowing against each other really.

Do I need USB3 on the top of the case. I think I prefer the Z9 even with the wait.

Have considered the Antec 300 (a bit dull if efficient) and the CM 690 II plus but with the need to buy and fit at least two more fans with that one already included in the Z9 its not such a good deal.
