**NZXT Beta Case Review**

The NZXT Beta is a computer case that is more than just a simple enclosure. It has a ton of features that make it stand out from other cases on the market. In this review, we'll take a closer look at the dimensions, exterior design, and interior layout of this impressive case.

**Dimensions and Exterior Design**

The NZXT Beta measures 7.9 inches wide, stands 16.9 inches tall, and is 19.7 inches long. Despite its steel construction, the case weighs only 16 pounds. The exterior features a matte black finish that gives it a sleek and understated look. On the front panel, there are vents that add a touch of simplicity to the design. The top also has a 120mm fan, LED power and reset buttons, four vented drive bays, audio jacks, two USB ports, and an Esa connector underneath. The case also features rubber feet, which help keep it stable on any surface.

**Front Panel and Side Opening**

The front panel can easily be opened to clean the dust filters or change them out. This is a great feature that shows NZXT's attention to detail and commitment to keeping the case clean and free of dust. The side panel is held in place by thumb screws, making it easy to access the interior of the case. When the side panel is removed, it reveals an absolutely gorgeous black interior.

**Black Interior and Cable Management**

The interior of the NZXT Beta is fully black, which is a rare sight even among high-end cases. This adds to the overall sleekness and sophistication of the design. The cable management system is also well laid out, with plenty of space for routing wires from behind the motherboard tray. The case supports both ATX and Micro-ATX form factors and has great cable management spaces that suit any size of motherboard.

**Cable Management and Accessories**

The beta's trade-off is its lack of a side window, which means you can't easily see what's inside the case when it's open. However, this does allow for some creative routing of cables, as there are plenty of openings in the motherboard tray for connecting wires to the back panel. The case comes with brackets for the screwless drive design and other basic components, such as standoffs and screws.

**Installation and Cooling**

We put together a typical component build using the NZXT Beta's features. The drive setup is completely screwless and uses a simple rail system that slides in and is surprisingly secure. There are five 3.5-inch bays in the beta as well as four 5.25-inch drives, and the external drive bays are just as simple to use. The case also has some great features for cable management, such as inset Drive bits to run connectors out of view and openings in the tray for motherboard connections.

**Cable Management Features**

The NZXT Beta has a number of cable management features that make it easy to keep your build looking neat and tidy. There is a small amount of separation between the motherboard tray and the back panel, which keeps large wires from causing problems. The case also encourages great cooling by allowing for airflow around components.

**Cooling Potential**

The NZXT Beta has the potential for an effective airflow design, thanks to its design features such as the outside panel having two spots for 120mm fans positioned right over major components and also an option area at the back for another 120mm exhaust fan. Adding fans can increase the initial cost and possibly the noise level, but if you're running some decent heat-producing hardware it's highly recommended.

**Video Card Support**

The NZXT Beta was specifically designed to fit 10.5-inch video cards, which is a great asset for those with larger coolers or more powerful graphics cards. The case also has no issues fitting aftermarket heat sinks like this true 120mm fan. There is roughly 16cm of space between the motherboard and the outside panel, so it should fit most larger coolers.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the NZXT Beta is one of the best value cases we've had the pleasure of filming. It has some great features such as its black interior and quality construction, well-laid out cable management, and a screwless drive system that's a huge plus. However, there are some trade-offs, such as the lack of a side window and the stock cooling leaving something to be desired. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth checking out for anyone looking for a reliable and feature-packed case at an affordable price.

**Final Thoughts**

The NZXT Beta is a top-notch case that showcases what can be achieved with quality construction and attention to detail. Its sleek design and well-laid-out cable management make it a joy to work with, while its features such as the screwless drive system and great airflow potential make it a top choice for builders. Whether you're looking for a reliable workspace or just want to show off your build, the NZXT Beta is definitely worth considering.

**Recommendation**

If you're in the market for a new case that's both functional and stylish, the NZXT Beta is an excellent choice. Its attention to detail and commitment to quality make it stand out from other cases on the market. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just starting out, the NZXT Beta is sure to impress.
