NZXT BETA – EVO Computer Case/Chassis

Closer look:

Nothing flashy or extravagant about the box, definitely budget packaging. Brown Box, plastic bag Styrofoam same as was used when packaging the original BETA.

First off, I’m very excited about the choice to move the power supply mount point to the bottom. This is a personal preference, but I’m glad to see it in a budget case. I had some initial concerns over the amount of fan grids (two on the top, two on the side panel) they have provided in the case may prove to be a serious weakness for dust and pet hair.

NZXT’s tool less kit was very easy to set up, one small note and I learned this the hard way, when using the revised forward facing  HD mount it is important to make sure your SATA and power cables will accommodate the decreased space between the wall of the case and the edge of your drive I found this out the hard way accidently snapping the inner portion of the SATA cable off in my drive when installing this, I later revised this with a right angle SATA cable thankfully I was able to save the drive and I learned my lesson in concerns to manufactures providing enough clearance for any type of cable.

After learning my lesson I went with a right angle SATA cable.

The Evo’s Boasted cable management, and I am pleased to say this was not a letdown the hard drive tray is raised from that of the standard beta, and they opened up additional space behind the motherboard. Providing the increased space allows you to tuck unnecessary power supply leads away and easily route most cables. NZXT was also nice enough to include several small zip ties to cinch up the slack making the finished product nice and neat.
