Can anyone recommend an alternative to the Zalman Z9-U3 case, as it is currently out of stock on scan?

The Sharkoon T9 & T28 also look good if you fancy a side window although don't know much about there cases
Also the white cases are also available in black

Cheers for the reply, really like the look of the Zalman Z11 you listed above too, but it is also out of stock. Also like the Sharkoon T9, anyone had/have one of these? Any recommendation?
Another quick question: I am going for the Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Mobo, but just noticed the the original case I had spec'd (and the ones listed above) are Mid Cases. Will this board fit a mid case, or would I need a m-ATX board?

Yes ATX size mobo will fit in a midi tower.
As for the Sharkoon T9 it seems like a well reviewed case

Thanks for all your help. Ended up going for the Zalman Z9-U3 on Amazon, was a few quid more than scan, but it was still my prefered option so just went for it. I have now ordered all my bits, just waiting for it all to arrive so I can get building
