The ZERO 2s front panel has an appealing look to it with the mirrored and flat black combination. Hiding the drives behind a door was also a nice touch to keep the front flowing seamlessly. The dust filtration on the ZERO 2 was very solid and...

Video Review: NZXT ZERO 2 Case is an affordable case which falls into the budget category. It's only available in black and it's steel except for a few plastic parts. Since it's mostly steel it's really sturdy but this means it's...

So, how does the Zero 2 compare to the original? Is this an update or a downgrade? After playing with the Zero 2 for about a week, I'd have to say that it is a bit of both. NZXT kept the form factor but changed the case material from aluminum to...

NZXT has made some excellent cases in the past and the Zero 2 continues the trend. This well built steel case has plenty of room to accommodate the most feature rich system. With thirteen drive bays you will be hard pressed to fill them all. The...

NZXT created a successor to their Zero chassis that they released, and it is a good computer case in its own right. The design is distinctive, but not distracting. It is solid steel which means it will not be light, but it will offer a ton of...
