Introduction
The looks of the Zalman Z11 Plus may not be too every ones taste. If you're one of those who makes up their mind about the inherrent attributes, performance and quality of a case, or any other product for that matter, based soley upon whether you like the aesthetics of it then you're perhaps missing out on a great many treats in life. If however you're open minded then you might be tempted to read on and see what this case is really all about.
We probably best know Zalman for their range of coolers, however a quick visit to their website will astound you at just how many products they have out there for us to spend our hard earned wedge on. From cases to coolers, Zalman prety much cover the lot. Start searching the e-tailers and you'll also be pleasantly surprised at how well priced this Zalman kit can be. Here we take a look at the Z11 Plus case. A mid-tower case with rather distinctive looks, and what appears to be a pretty reasonable feature set. Priced at just £50 the Z11 certainly appears to be good value for money, but is there substance as well as style

My only gripe thou small is the front panel USB3 I have to route them out the back onto the motherboard connections, I like the case much better than my old one by a long way, I got mine for £45 with P&P it offers as good a set of needs as many £70+ cases and if you buy one your be more than happy with the case for the cash you paid.
I would feel it not only deserves VFM but also a bronze award it's well laid out and you can get plenty inside clean and tidy, it's main downfall for many looking at it is it's front looks, I prefer mine on it's side with the drives popping out over the desk, so I can get inside without the need of moving it an inch.
