In today's tough economic times you want to make sure that you get a good product for your hard earn cash. Computer cases are one of those items that you tend to Get-What-You-Pay-For, but NZXT has come out with a new case called Beta in their Classic Series. If this saying holds true then my money must have doubled some where down the road.
First Impression:
Beta...hmmm not finished but not just started either. Sometimes it can mean that someone is still working on it or they just don't want to slap it with a finished tag. Heck look at Google how long did they have "Beta" attached to gmail and other products? Or maybe they were thinking about Physics...
- A beta particle. - A beta ray. - The second position from a designated carbon atom in an organic molecule at which an atom or a radical may be substituted.An isomeric variation of a chemical compound. Used in combination: beta-estradiol.
So what does NZXT have to say about its Beta Mid Tower Case
"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. NZXT continues their expertise
in effective cooling by offering BETA users expanded cooling that
directly cools video cards and CPU with 4 120mm fans(1 front, 1 rear,
and 2 side) and a meshed front panel that improves airflow. The front
120mm fan can fit thicker fans like the Scythe Ultra Kaze that can help
maximize airflow. Additional features like screw-less installation for
5.25" drives/hard drives and top mounted USB/Audio enhance ease of
installation and convenience for gamers."
I guess we will have to dive in to the Beta ourselves to see if what they say is true. Here are some quick specs about the NZXT Beta Case.
