NZXT Gamma Case Review

Conclusions

NZXT Gamma is a mid-tower case targeted to the user that wants an inexpensive good-quality mid-tower. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.

Strong Points

• Meshed bay covers.
• Meshed slot covers.
• Dust filters on the front panel.
• Dust filter on the bottom panel.
• Rear panel and interior are painted black.
• Hole in the motherboard tray for accessing the backplate of the CPU cooler.
• Holes for routing cables on the motherboard tray.
• eSATA port.
• Very light.
• No sharp edges where you could cut yourself while building your PC.
• Impressive number of hard disk drive bays (seven) that will please even the most demanding user.
• Screwless mechanisms for fastening the hard disk drives.
• Supports one 2.5” drive.
• Supports a total of six fans.
• Outstanding cost/benefit ratio.

Weak Points

• No external 3.5” bay (who uses floppies anyway?).
• Could have come with thumbscrews for fastening daughterboards.
• No noise absorbing mechanisms for the hard disk drives.

Costing only USD 50 NZXT Gamma provides the best bang for your buck if you are on budget and are looking for a good mid-tower case that supports several fans. If you would like to have a transparent side panel, then you can pay USD 10 more and get M59, but M59 comes with fewer places for installing fans. Of course in order to reduce the price the manufacturer only included one fan, but this case supports up to six of them.
