NZXT has been building cases targeted for gamers and enthusiasts since 2004. Headquartered in Taiwan, NZXT's company objective is to "provide every gamer with a case that they can identify with." To this end NZXT offers two types of case designs, the more conservative "Classic" series, and the contemporary "Crafted" line. I've reviewed models from both in the past however I have to say I prefer the classic series styling, which is the category I'll be looking at today.



The Alpha is one of NZXT's latest offerings in their steel mid-tower case lineup. Like many of NZXT's cases, this one is solidly constructed of .6 mil steel and is available with an optional side window panel. Black is the only color choice, and a power supply is not included. It does come with a single 120mm exhaust fan, with a second 120mm blue LED fan used in the side window if so equipped. Packaging is typical, with Styrofoam top and bottom pieces suspending the case vertically inside the colored box.
