I normally purchase Ultra cases for my builds. My last couple of Ultra cases have been disappointing as it seems they are skimping on quality (typical of items built by foreign slave labor) and skimping on dimensions. So, I decided to try another case. I liked the specs on the NZXT ZERO 2 and purchased two of them. They arrived this morning.

The roominess inside the case is fantastic making everything easy to work with. The wiring for the top USB and Audio ports is more than sufficient to reach the bottom of the case and hook up to the MOBO with excess to tuck away.

The Hard Drive cage is excellent. I installed 3 HDDs, in both cases, spaced a full slot apart. The 120 mm intake fan blows air across the 3 HDDs. The position of the HDD cage allows easy hook up of the SATA cables to the ASUS P7P55D EVO MOBO.

The PSU sits on its own level in the top of the case rather than sitting in front of the MOBO. This allows full and complete access to the entire MOBO - no obstruction. The PSU cables are routed to the right side of the MOBO and harnessed to the chasis framing.

This case comes with one 120 mm intake fan in front (removing the front bezel for access to the fan filter is a snap), and two 120 mm exhaust fans in the rear. There is a place for four (4) more 120 mm fans in the sidewall and two 80 mm fans in the top and bottom of the case. Even with just the three fans that came with these units the air flow is incredible.

The quality of construction is top notch. The wire connections for the top USB and Audio, and the Power switches, is solid. This is a sturdy durable case - you can feel it as soon as you take it out of the box.

Good bye Ultra. I have also decided I will not purchase any mid-towers ever again. They just aren't worth it and they heat up too fast.

I shop around. Tiger, NewEgg, Nextag, etc all wanted $20 - $25 more for this unit plus another $20 - $30 for shipping per piece. Amazon, you came through big and I'm telling everyone about it.

Only a fool would pass up on this deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pros & Cons, September 7, 2009

= Pros =

- Awsome amount of room its big thats for sure
- The very easy pop on rail system for the drives (all drives)
- The rail system for the hard drives faces you to make it even more easy for swapping
- Ultra modren stylish look :)
- Steel
- The side case door just slides right into place when you take it off & on, No hassling with thos annoying ridgs you have to fit the door into on certain cases
- 8 Fans
- The front door of the case is magnetic so thats always nice there a little bit strong but hey at least its nice and snug and also straight when its closed (no gaps)
- Very top of the door is see through so you can see what your CD/DVD drives are doing but yet its at the perfect amount of transparency so were it looks like its not see through at all.

= Cons =

- The top fan should probably have a filter, i guess you could always jimmy rig the bottom fan filter on the top but thats if you dont want one of the bottom - your choice cause this is mostly a dust issue
- Like from the above con dust issues, the ports being on the very top could get lot of dust in them if there not covered or have nothing connected the case should of probably had some sort of cover that slid over the ports when not in use but thos cons arnt enough for me to subtract a star love the case to much

Overall AWSOME case if your a gamer or anyone that wants to just have a nice stylish comp /w great cooling *5 stars*

5.0 out of 5 stars Huge freaking case, January 14, 2011

This thing is a beast. I bought it to replace a rinky dinky rosewill 30$ case(not to say it was a bad case, just old), and I could not be more pleased with the product. This thing is huge, I mean compared to my old case, its HUGE. The room inside the case is more than adequate, so much so that I needed to buy a new PSU with longer cables so that I could power everything. I love the toolless design, its a world of difference from having to screw everything in, and will prove to be huge when it comes to swapping my HDD's out later on.

The front of this thing looks great when lit up, the ports on the top of the case all worked flawlessly, and the case itself is heavy and as thick as a brick. The edges are mostly curved and I didn't once slice my hand open when moving things around, which is always a plus.

The one thing that may bother some people is the lack of cable managment which I admit could be frustrating, but I honestly could care less(thats why man invented twist-ties!). The stock fans included are all in working order, and the fact that you can put four of them on the side means this thing will always be super-cooled. There is no filter for the top fan included, but I mean what do they cost, zilch!

Overall, I would recommend this case because it looks great and serves its function.

Should anything else go wrong I'll be sure to make it known, but for now I am very, very pleased.
