Hi guys,

Quick question on the zalman z9

Noticed the side intake fan and the psu vent's don't have dust filters on them. Will this be an issue do you think?

Possibly. Doubt it's a major issue, but it might get annoying.

BitFenix Shinobi is the other option in that price bracket btw. But the Z9 is actually a good case on its own.

Does the shinobi come with complete dust filters?

Thing that puts me off the shinobi is i've been told that it's not actually black, and has a blue tinge to it.

I also like the fan read out on the Zalman, and the front design - although hate the blue LED's lol.

The side vented area of the Z9 Plus is one of my only gripes with this case, in the end I taped cling film tightly over the vented area as I was fed up of dust getting in there! Overall though the case is a very solid buy, and good cooling performance!

Can't see anything obvious on that page. But no flash if that's why.

Not really keen on the shinobi anyhow as after a black case, heard a lot of people saying it looks blue.

Hunt continues for a dust free budget case

Take a look at reviews for the 300R.

It might have some, can't quite remember...

Looks like the perfect case for me in terms of design. 4 reviews on site and will scope more out later tonight. Thanks mate!

Anyone who has said that the Shinobi has a blue tinge is wrong...it's black.

Can say I've noticed it in some real photos too ( not marketing images) but will look into it. Also concerned it only comes with one fan at the back at first glance. Looking for a complete case really.
