The NZXT Beta case is a mainstream case, priced at $55.

Performance

The NZXT Beta EVO performed outstandingly, especially for the price point, with superb functionality to boot. The temperature of the system was close to room temperature, with only a one degree rise under load. The provisions for additional cooling fans are a nice touch for the price point and gives more than enough airflow through the case, even with two dual GPU graphics cards within the system. The screw less design functioned very well, allowing quick tool less drive installs and changes, making the installation of the system very simple.

Reviewer's Opinion

The NZXT Beta EVO is a great case to build a system around, especially if you are on a budget, but don’t want to sacrifice on the capabilities of the case. The tool less design is a great feature that tends to be something more associated with higher dollar cases. The excellent ventilation also proves to be an exception to the rule for cases of this price point. Though the case only comes with one fan installed, the ventilation alone proved to be great when looking at the case’s overall performance. In many instances, a case in this price point normally tends to suffer from a lack of ventilation and fans, with noticeably higher then ambient system temperatures. This just is not the case with the Beta EVO, which really helps to push this case above the rest for an excellent case at a very affordable price.
