NZXT Gamma Case Review

NZXT has just released another inexpensive mid-tower case, Gamma, which is based on the same internal body as M59 and Lexa S and priced at only USD 50, being cheaper than these other two cases. Is it a good case? Let's see.

The first thing we notice was that this is a very light case, weighting only 11.5 Lbs (5.2 Kg), which is half of the weight of mid-tower cases we usually review.

As mentioned, internally Gamma is identical to M59 and Lexa S, but externally these cases are quite different: both M59 and Lexa S feature a transparent side window (using a dark acrylic) with a 120-mm fan, while on Gamma the left panel is meshed supporting two 80-, 92- or 120-mm fans, which don't come with the product.

The front panel from Gamma somewhat resembles the front panel from M59, but it doesn't have the trim around the upper 5 ¼" bays that glow blue when the PC is turned on. On the other hand it has a transparent "line" on the lower section that glows blue when the PC is on.

Like other mid-tower cases from NZXT we have reviewed recently, Gamma has four 5 ¼" bays featuring meshed covers with dust filters. No external 3 ½" bay is available. HardwareSecrets
