Marketed as a gaming mid-tower case the M59 offers up features like clearance for 10.5 inch graphics cards, support for water cooling, and a well ventilated design. We will see how well the case handles a budget system.
First Impression:
The NZXT M59 comes in a now standard cardboard box (I remember when most came in plain brown), printed in full color. NZXT did a great job with the box design here. The front is super
simplistic, a picture of the front bezel, and a few buzzwords to grab
attention. There appears to be minimal damage to the box, but a loose rattling sound came whenever I moved the box. At this point I was a bit scared of what I might find inside.

The box lists the standard features twice, on both ends of the box, a great decision as one of the English sections was completely covered over by the shipping label and packing slip.
Packing was a standard affair, pressed Styrofoam end caps and a plastic bag around the case.
The back offers up a list of features (reproduced from website):
