GAMMA Classic Series ATX Mid Tower Interior Steel Chassis (Black)

I have put together many, many computers using cases of all shapes, sizes and costs. Dollar for dollar this case is hands down the best value I've ever seen. As others have noted the materials are a bit flimsy but this is a computer case, not the frame for a tank. As long as it isn't abused it should last and give good service for years. And I like that is fairly light weight, many cases that are "sturdy" are also on the heavy side. By the time you have them loaded with a good power supply and several hard drives they begin to feel like a tank when you need to move them.The cutouts and gaps to make routing cables easy are nice, they not only improve the appearance but also help air flow freely through the case. I was a little worried about sharp edges but have not found any, which is good because knowing me if there was even one I would have cut myself on it.I read several reviews which mention the hard drive rails being difficult and backwards so I wasn't sure what to expect. At first I was a little confused about how the hard drives are meant to be installed but once I understood it, it makes perfect sense and is no problem to work with. If you have right angled power and data cable ends you can mount the drives facing left or right which might make things easier if you have several drives installed.Another thing that both surprised and pleased me was when I was installing the power supply I noticed there were two extra holes which makes it possible to mount the ps either right side up or upside down. I am not a huge fan of bottom mount for power supplies and as others have said, it can cause problems if the leads for motherboard power are not long enough. Mine just barely reached to the cpu power connector after running it up the rear of the case, resting as it is on the motherboard and running under the video card. I have extensions on order though I'm sure I could get by for the life of the ps as it is now.I like the long, thin blue light on the front for power on though the green light for hard drive activity is a bit hard to see. Most of all though, I love the paint. No more of that ugly, dingy looking gray metal with thoughts of how I want to paint it black. I am not an expert on such things but I believe the paint is baked on giving it a very nice texture and appearance.This is a case I would not have been disappointed by if I had paid 60 dollars. Getting it from amazon for 36 with free prime shipping is one of the best deals I've ever found.Three cheers to NZXT !!! GAMMA Classic Series ATX Mid Tower Interior Steel Chassis (Black)

NZXT really hit a home run with its GAMMA mid-tower computer case. I was on a budget for my first PC build, but didn't want to sacrifice quality in the case. In addition, the case has some style to it and doesn't just look like a metal box. For under $40, the GAMMA provided a lot of features that are usually left out at other cases in the same price range. For example, the case has pretty good cable management, with holes for cords and places for zip ties to clean things up. Also, the interior of the case is painted black, which looks far better than silver in my opinion.The case feels sturdy and well-built. The front panel easily pulls off to access the front of the chassis. The panel itself has 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 eSATA port, an audio jack, and a microphone jack. To the right of the ports are power and reset buttons, which click nicely and are accompanied by a small LED power indicator. Another thin LED strip sits a few inches below the ports and looks great when powered on. The option for 4 5.25" bays is more than I'll need, but it's nice to know I have the extra space.You have the option for 6 case fans (2 on the top, 2 on the left, 1 in the back, and 1 in the front), but only 1 120 mm rear fan is included. The side and top fan slots have options for different size fans as well such as 90 mm. On the inside, the hard drive bay section opens up to the sides of the case, which makes cable management much easier. Tool-less hard drive adapters are included so that your HDD or SDD slides right in without any hassle. Plenty of other screws, etc. are also included.At this price point, the case is a great option for those interested in something with a little more looks. Despite being a mid-sized case, there is room for large GPUs and the case does not seem crowded at all. Highly recommend for budget buyers!

First of all, I knew I was ordering a very inexpensive PC case and I did not expect top quality. I was pleasantly surprised at the bang I got for my buck. The case is very roomy. Everything fit with plenty of room to store and dress all the cables. I added two 140 mm blue LED fans in the top, a blue LED 120 mm in the front and rear (took out the white-bladed fan) and two 120mm fans on the side panel. I had to not use the top 5 1/4 burner drive bay so I could add the fan in the top front. It was better down one anyway. The bay cover shines with a blue glow, now. ;) There was plenty of room to dress the power cables between the side cover and behind the motherboard tray (not removable). I kept redoing them as I thought of better ways to dress them. I'm happy with the final method. I like all the thumb screws and I especially like the hard drive rails. The front USB/ESATA/SOUND panel looks nice. All the buttons and jacks work. It is a bit flimsy, so be careful when you use it. I like that it tilts at an angle. I don't like the squeaky feet on the bottom of the case. I can live with that, though. When you slide it on a vinyl floor it squeaks. It will be fine on carpet. All the motherboard standoff holes were in the right places. I didn't have to drill any holes. The side panels were on tight. I had to gently pry them off after removing the thumb screws. They have loosed up a bit after removing and re-installing a few times. There was no motherboard mini speaker. It is supposed to come with the PC case, but there was none in the box. I borrowed one out of another PC and ordered a new speaker from Amazon. I would buy this case again. To all the people claiming it has thin metal, It is thicker than some cases I've owned. The edges are rolled where they need to be. The interior is also black. It just looks nice! It has great airflow, too.

Hi alle miteinander!Ich habe den Artikel zwar noch nicht lang aber das muss auch gar nicht sein!Das ganze Gehäuse ist aus massivem Metall, bis auf der vordere Verkleidung (Kunststoff).Alles ist sehr stabil und es bietet für alle PC-Komponenten genug Platz.Man kann die rechte als auch die linke Wand abtrennen (bei mir gab es ein kleines Problem dabei, da die Seitenteile etwas bei mir "verklämmt sind").Was super ist, ist dass das Gehäuse oben, unten, hinten, vorne und links viele kleine Löcher hat.Dies sorgt für ausgezeichnete Luftzirkulation!!Ich kann nur eins sagen: ABSOLUTE KAUFEMPFEHLUNG!

Habe mir dieses Gehäuse vor 1-2Jahren,wegen den Design gekauft und wegen der Anschlüsse wobei das Design eindeutig im Vordergrund stand.Funktioniert immer noch alles.Ich finde es sehr schön,es ist halt Geschmacksache.Vorne blaues Led und in der mitte die Frontanschlüsse mit 2xUSb,Esata,Audio.Über tech.Einzelheiten ist glaube ich alles geschrieben worden,so das ich über Gebrauch was schreiben wollte.Verarbeitung ist Gut,weniger gut die Front ist leider aus Plastik.Alle Zubehör die mann zum Zusammenbau braucht liegen bei,alles ist Gut zugänglich.Preis/Leistung ist Gut.Würde mir wieder Kaufen.Klare Kaufempfehlung.
