NZXT, a name most hardware enthusiasts are familiar with, has been designing and manufacturing cases, laptop coolers, power supplies, and mice geared towards the gamer segment since 2004. Today on the Bigbruin.com test bench we have one of the latest midtower cases in their Classic series, the Beta.

The promotional image above provides a quick glance at what we’re about to dive into. The case itself has a very clean matte black finish, and nice, crisp lines. The vertical bars running down the bottom half of the case provide structure and add to the overall appeal of the design. Overall, it is a very attractive case.

Before we delve into our review, let’s take a moment and see what NZXT has to say about the case on its official product page.

Announcing the BETA, a mid-tower steel case that delivers gamers a chassis designed for tremendous value without sacrificing performance. Built for maximum expandability, BETA expansive jet black interior provides ample room for 4 external 5.25" drives, 5 HDD racks, and fits large 10.5" performance graphics cards.
