Entered at a similar price level to the NZXT Beta, the Gamma is more refined and more appealing. Sure, both cases share a few common features; they have stand-out front fascias with the rest of the chassis is left relatively simple, an all-black...

Gamma Classic is a very well built case even though it is a bit on the heavy side. It offers a great air flow performance as well as the ability of adding on up to six fans in to the case. I am not sure why would you want six fans, but perhaps for...

The NZXT Gamma is a overall a decent case for the price. It can easily be found online for around $29.99. While it’s obviously not the most advanced case available, it does provide plenty of features of more expensive gaming cases. The complete...

The NZXT Gamma is a well designed and well built case that most anyone should appreciate. There’s plenty of room for most any system in it, and a lot of the installation is tool-less making it easy to get your system in it. It does have a couple...

At the price of roughly $50 USD, you cannot go wrong with this case. I only have two issues with this case: the flimsy front panel and the fact that even with rolled edges on the hard drive/optical drive bays, I managed to nick myself and draw blood....

The NZXT Gamma Mid-Tower Computer Case really upholds the NZXT standard. The case was made for performance. More cooling is just another fan away; or a water cooling system if you are into that sort of thing. The Gamma filters the air coming into the...

Would you rather build your own gaming computer or have someone do it for you?Building a high-end gaming computer is no cheap proposition, so it’s a deal worth paying attention to when you can get a key component for a great value. NZXT has been...

As I said, the limited ports on the front of the case kind of disappointed me. I am a firewire fan, and I like having easy access. This is fixed with a simple bay add-on, but I can still complain. That’s my job. The amount of space for optical...

Just like the two cases before, the Gamma is a great case for gamers especially since it looks like an arcade machine. Just because of the design we award it our 5 Star Must Have...
