This is a case that other supports mini-ITX-motherboards. It still is larger than many compact cases although in reality it does not feel like a midi-case so don't be fooled by the images. Many compact mini-ITX-cases are actually quite ?fat? and almost feel larger than this case. The added size though allows NZXT to offer a lot more options for cooling. Whether you want a lot of fans or water-cooling, there is room for both huge radiators and many fans, in fact you could technically have two 280mm radiators and a 120mm radiator at the same time. Added to that is a fan-controller that helps you handle all the fans in the case.

When it comes to support for storage it is a sign of the future that there are more room for SSD's than 3.5?-drives in the case. For regular users it should still be plenty enough.

One feature that might not be completely obvious from the images is the curved design. This is absolutely gorgeous but it also has a secondary benefit. It makes it a lot easier with the cable management as there is plenty of room between the case and the side to tuck cables in. We will look more at that in a later part of the review.
