Customer Review

Former owner of a Z9, I made the choice rather than the Z11 Z3 (I could feel for cheaper) for its respectable size and design, but I realized to my cost that it does not equal the Z9 or Z11 in terms of design and accessories ... Obviously, it is classified in the low-mid-range enclosures, like the boxes Z9 / Z11 medium-high end .
But finally, after some alterations of the case, I do not regret my purchase. So if, like me, you fall for this case but you are concerned about the noise, plan some hacking homes! Otherwise, go there without fear.

Positives:

- Sober and elegant design, good finishes (globally)
- 5 slots fans (2 front, 2 on top, 1 rear) with 3 provided (1x + 2x Molex 3-pins LED)
- End up anti-injury (to indoors and out)
- Two anti-vibration pads provided for the supply location

Negative points:

- Fan speed controllers limited to 2 positions and 2 3-pin fans (or are planning splitters Rhéobus for any extra fan ...)
- Requires mandatory angled SATA cables to the hard drives (ras connectors of the two side doors)
- Spacing of limited cable management (especially in terms of CPU ATX 12V power supply)
- Finesse sheets: finer than the Z9 / Z11 (vibrations are naturally more experience)
- No pads under 4 feet of boxes (you can add to limit vibrations)
- System racks of hard disks a little cheap (not equivalent to Z9 / Z11), still unstudied against vibration (up to you to hack)
- Special screws for front and top fans incompatible for silicone anti-vibration lamptrons (I had to enlarge the screw holes with the drill, it goes hair cell: no fan is in contact with the box)
- Bundle less rich than the Z9 / Z11 (less hardware, less cable ties ...)
