Which case should I get?

[Exvy]

Should I get the Zalman Z3 Plus or the Nox Hummer MC Zero Edition (This one is so nice looking),

[Mr.Humble]

How keen on cable-management are you? Because I tried it in the Zalman Z3, and there isn't a lot of space behind the motherboard tray, so given my dad doesn't have a modular PSU it was a nightmare trying to close the side panel.

 

Don't know about the other one, however.

Since it has a side panel I really want to have a good cable-management.

Just from the looks I'd take the Nox one. However, I heard that Zalman makes pretty nice budget cases.

Do you have a modular or semi-modular PSU?

most cases do you know.

 

Besides, the window on the Z3 is rather small and strangely shaped. A matter of taste, perhaps, but I prefer large square window on the side panel, or none at all.

I really don't know since I'm  new to building pcs. My PSU is the XFX TS 550W 80+ Bronze.

That Nox Hummer looks exactly like

Spoiler

Except for the front panel, I really wonder who the fuck is the real manufacturer for this case, I love the overall design but seeing there's option for different front panel, I really want to see whether there's other nicer option out there.

I like the side panel only if it has good cable management. But what I really like about the Nox case is the LED.

From the pics @Ichi posted I'd take that over Z3 anytime.

 

Besides, I know you're talking about the side panel WINDOW, I'm just not being a nice person and subtly making fun of you

OK. So modular basically means that you can attach just the cables you want and can swap out the cables. Like this for example: 

 

Semi modular has cables like ATX and so on built in

 

 

Yours is not modular. That means that a PSU cover (like the one in the NOX case) would be nice so that you can hide all the cables you don't need

That is great because I love that case. But the other case has 4 fans which is great.

I like my Zalman Z12 (no plus=no side panel window) but the design is a bit outdated (4 5.25" bays? In 2014?)

The Nox Hummer is 

 

Compare to the one I posted, the interior and exterior is 100% identical except for the front panel and this have better front panel design, for me at least.

 

Can anyone please hunt down this case OEM or something, it's definitely appealing.

You don't really need that many fans and the stock fans are not PWM.

I will pick either the Zalman or Nox. Do you think that the number of fans that the Nox has is enough?

I do but I want to know if there is different front panel design, I've posted 2 so far so potentially there's more out there.

It really is a work of art.

And best part is it's cheap, around $60 where I live.

Just get it and be done with it really.

Great price point, PSU shroud, top filter, built in fan controller and case lighting (7 colors to choose from).
