NZXT Gamma Review

Introduction:

Gaming is evolving! Becoming the prime concern for many geeks out there who have a computer. And the nerds are up for it and already upgrading! Today, we tried to look at the NZXT Gamma. The cabinet holds about everything to be a gamer's choice who wants the PC to stay under control and do not OVER heat. Well, that is our prime concern too! That is why we have this for you!

First Looks and Ergonomics:



The first looks at the cabinet reveal a very good-looking case with a really nice front! Really, NZXT has worked on the case and has given it one wonderful design for the price! The front bay as you can see is complemented by carefully designed switches, pin-point positioned 2 X Audio Jacks, 2 X USB 2.0 Headers and 1 X eSATA Ports. The cabinet is made fully of high grade steel and is feather like in weight! The blue light glow and display the cabinet like an ultimate warrior while the slight curves show thoughtfulness!


As it can be expected, the bottom is fully equipped with full rubber grommets and the side supports two fans of each size ranging from 80mm to 120mm. Pretty much huh? You bet!
The side panels were of extreme quality and on the other side, you find a panel with space for wire management which is enough for mid-range gaming builds. :)

The top has 2 X 120mm/140mm fan slots which will keep your system fine under the harshest conditions! Basically aimed at cooling the system by supplying additional air, this is not gonna work well if you plan to set this 140mm/120mm in a Push-Pull config along with your CPU Cooler, this is ought to interfere.

So, that is all about the top when compared to the side!



The back of the case consists of a slot to put in a 92mm, 120mm or 140mm case fan which is pretty good and provide expandability and flexibility.



 We also found an expansion at the front for the 120mm fan for the HDDs but there was NO FAN INCLUDED. We would like to also inform you that there are no filters whatsoever except for the bottom PSU Mount. NZXT Cares for your Power!



The Inside:

The first thing we got our eyes at was the HDD mount. NZXT takes it away here too with Tool-Less Design  for easy mounting and removal of HDDs. HDDs are really easy to deal with using this design and we at Techiies really liked it.



Basically, the cabinet is designed for total flexibility with mATX and ATX motherboards so that you can upgrade a lot. The area behind the CPU Cooler is also opened up for easy mounting and removal of coolers for CPU.


The cable management space is absolutely fine for many builds, especially budget rigs will find it more than enough. The front panel cables and the goodies box were lying strapped right to the inside of the case which consisted of the following bags:

1 x Screws For Fan mounting

1 x Screws for Chassis

1 x Bag for Motherboard and PSU

1x Bag of Thumb Screws.

And that would set your whole system up.

The back was mounted and ready with 7 x Expansion Slots.

    I definitely recommend it. For under 50$, it is one of the best chassis you might stumble upon.
