• 360° of steel casing surrounding the all-steel chassis
• Grommet-less cable management bar keeps cables tidy with ease
• Full 280mm radiator support for the latest Kraken cooler
• Compact form factor coming in two inches below competing mid towers
• Detailed design and engineering with tons of small touches
• Very easy to build in for new and experienced users alike
• Integrated PSU shroud for an ultra clean build
• Fully filtered intakes

 

What do you think?

[Trik'Stari]

I approve of this, no pussy aluminium.

[ShadowCaptain]

Looks VERY nice!

 

that is an awesome video too

[LukaP]

depending on the price and availability i want it

Still not a micro ATX case. Your letting me down NZXT, I want a H series mATX case.

About the case on topic however, it looks very sleek, with good potential to water cool as the video shows. Very industrial, as they show off. Very pleased with the introduction of the PSU shroud into other cases besides the H440, it certainly improves the aesthetics and of course allows for more drives to be installed. I won't be buying one, but I can certainly see it being a decent seller and I get the appeal for it.

Seems pretty good, just a bit concerned by the lack of airflow the case will probably have

[Mitrailleuse]

if you could also put a 240mm rad in the front i would totally buy it.

[Guest Kloaked]

I bet it'll be like $340.

I think it actually looks awesome but I wish there was more radiator support. 

 

According to the site it only supports a 240 in the front and a 120 in the rear. There is no top radiator support.Looking at the case though they probably would not have to makes it that much bigger for a 240 in the top and 360 in the front. Should be mATX instead of full ATX....

 

Other wise i think it looks good but I am still looking more forward to the upcoming Enthoo Evlov because of the above. The price on this case is really good though and hopefully they will make a more expensive model to address some of the water cooling support.

I've to admit the camera works of the video is fantastic and stylish. The case is ok.

[jezza39]

Any stats on the weight yet? All steel will be incredibly heavy.

[Bsmith]

kinda looks like that other case they recently released, forgot the name thou....

[ObeseWalrus]

Yeah it's really nice looking.

IIRC 7.5 kg

I hope NZXT will release a steel-made Switch series case next yr...

Is there much need for a remake of the Switch with the H440 out thouhg?

[79wjd]

I'd consider this, had I not already ordered my H440... 

looks to be about the size of the 350d, which is quite nice. 

[Gamingfreak]

Love the look of this case but the radiator support isn't good enough.

[Me1z]

I bet it'll be like $340.

i like the design of switch 810 more than the h440, so I hope NZXT will make a successor to the switch 810

[Stefan Becker]

Sweet mother of baby Jesus, that thing is a work of art.

[W1tness]

depending on the price and availability i want it

All for $70

[Trik'Stari]

Now that just looks sexy.

No front drive bays

Optional fan control (instead of some integrated thing that's terrible placed like most cases)

 

Sure it says no top radiator support, but it's friggin steel, you can make it do just about anything you want. I can see some really good mods to this. And I like where (I think) the HDD/SDD cages are, down below with the PSU all nice and hidden.

 

I might just have to get one of these, especially for 70 bucks.

Edit: It does have a thing like the air 540 for drives beneath the gpu, but they appear to be SSD tray's rather than hdd's, which is cool.

Yeah i was thinking you could maybe mod the psu cover to be shorter and allow for another 120mm fan/rad mount and then try to figure something out for the top. Have to see some more pics of the internals to be sure though.

Oh yes, I wonder what price the will be here in Denmark, because I'm in the market for a new one and this looks like the place to buy one.

[EChondo]

Oh, look, a case.

 

Cool teaser, to you know, tease something new that shouldn't have been a teaser, but was anyway because for some reason you wanted to build hype for something we already knew was gonna happen.

 

Also nice video that barely shows anything the case has to offer while also incorporating annoying background "music".

 

10/10, would like to get teased more and have more shoddy YouTube videos released. /s

 

On-topic: Outside looks like a 900D a bit. Cool that it has no external 5.25" bays, but it looks like it only has two-three internal 3.5" bays and two internal 2.5" slots. I don't own two SSD's and I own 4-5 hard drives. I would very much like to see more 3.5" bays.

 

Awesome idea of removing 5.25" to allow a more compact design and for more airflow.

 

 

*Edit, just saw it will cost $70!? Now I'm REALLY interested. @LinusTech when is the unboxing and system build videos going to be released? There is no way you don't have this case for reviewing.
