NZXT Zero 2 - Full Tower Case Review Print E-mail

NZXT Zero 2  ReviewPCWizKid reviews one of the latest full tower cases from NZXT, the Zero 2 from the crafted series.

This sturdy tower comes in black and has an interesting front.  Like with most towers, the intake fan is at the front , this one has a blue LED.  However just above that we have a fairly large door which covers the external drive bay openings.

One side panel has a large see through opening that can hold four 120mm fans for additional cooling.  These side panel fans are not included with the case.  Also there are options for 2 more 80mm fans (one at the top and one at the bottom, not included).  The rear has two 120mm fans and the PSU (not included) gets installed at the top of the case instead of the bottom.  NZXT gave attention to detail with the use of dust filters for the front and bottom fan openings.  The drive bay design is tool-less and uses a common rail system which makes things very easy when installing or removing a drive. 

PCWizKid has put together a detailed walkthrough video of the NZXT Zero 2 so you can see exactly all the aspects of the case and what is has to offer.

Conclusion:

Any PC extremist would appreciate a great designed case with tool-less construction, good cooling capabilities while capable to operate in whisper quiet mode at load. With the Zero 2 I like the durable and sturdy chassis constructed from a 1mm steel. Like its presuccessor, the sequel features silent and massive cooling system that can be customized for up to total of 10 fans!!!  Overclokers and those with multiple GPU's will benefit from a design like this however keep in mind that the expansion slots are at the bottom and PSU is at the top so the arrangement and room for installing and removing components is slightly different from other NZXT cases.
