OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Welcome to the next level of cool. NZXT's Zero doesn't need any fancy words to show its edge of cool, one picture is more than enough. But don't think this is just another pretty face. With 5 external 5.25" drive bays, two 3.5" external drive bays, and six internal 3.5" drive bays, this case has room for whatever you need of it. All of the external drives and the USB, Firewire, and audio ports are protected behind a stylish door that is part and parcel of the Zero's hot looks.

The side panel has an awesome smoked window with four pre-mounted 120mm fan, with another two 120mm fan in the rear, one 120mm fan in front, and an 80mm fan on top, to make sure the heat from this system is just from its looks. With all this, what more could you ask for? This is indeed a great total package.

Best Case I've Used

white Reviewed By: Pyrrus on 3/18/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Large size makes it easy to work in. Fans are very quiet but deliver outstanding airflow to the system. Mounting drives was a breeze with the supplied screwless rails. Being able to install hard drives in lower cage sideways right in front of intake fan for extra drive cooling. This case has given me the best system temps ever.
Cons: I really didn't want to put a con in, but like everyone else I am being honest. Top fan has to be removed then reinstalled for large ps, which could have been avoided by putting that fan an inch or so forward. The pci slot mech for holding cards in is great but seems to not work for everyone. It would not lock in my 8800, so I had to use a screw for it. Not a problem there since it has the holes and screws to do it. It just means you will have to screw in any other pci cards too.
Other Thoughts: The cons I listed are so minor as to not really even matter if you are looking for a great case for an o/c setup. It looks really cool, and lightweight for it's size. It came with everything, including all fans installed. I'm going to get another one to use on the rebuild of my backup system.

Light, roomy, with great cooling

white Reviewed By: Carlos on 7/22/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: The case comes loaded with seven 120mm fans and one top 80mm which provide great airlow without too much noise. Inside, it's pretty roomy and can fix up to six drives (I have four in there and they're not too toasty). One of the big things is that it's nearly completely tool-less from drive rails to PCI/AGP cards. It's very light and has a very snazzy glossy paint job.
Cons: Minor nitpicks include the fact that the front I/O ports are on the right, not the left or on the front cover. The common complaint about the PSU and top fan was an issue, but you can just unscrew it for the minute it takes to put in the PSU, not a big deal.
Other Thoughts: Overall, an excellent case. I came from an Antec P180 when I found that it wasn't as good for cooling when you have four or more drives, and if you did add greater cooling, the system got louder than I wanted. The ZERO case is excellent for cooling a drive-heavy system without too much noise. It's not silent, but it's tolerable, definitely not loud. Also, it looks nicer in person than it does in the picture, I don't like cases that are too out there and this is a good balance between plain and stylish.

Excellent Case

white Reviewed By: sonjoe on 12/27/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Light and well built case. Excellent space. Like the paint job and the fact that is all made of alluminum makes it very light and easy to move when necesary. front lights light well, fans are pretyt quite and easy to clean.
Cons: I had to move one of the side fans so that the radiator from the water cooler unit could fit in the case. Also the top fan makes it hard to fit a large PSU.
Other Thoughts: A hole in the back plate of the interior would be nice for easier access to the motherboard's back

Excellent airflow, with nearly zero flaws

white Reviewed By: Chris C on 12/26/2009

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Excellent airflow. Very easy to mount everything. The case is very large, as expected, so it makes working inside very easy.
Cons: As stated by most everyone else, if you have a large PSU, you will have to remove the top fan and then remount. I have been able to make my 8800 card mountable without a screw, but I do not recommend as it will easily come loose.
Other Thoughts: The cons are so minor that they do not warrant marking the review below 5 eggs. The additional airflow alone this thing creates was enough for me to want to buy this case. I have now been using this case for more then 2 years and it has not failed me yet.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very spacious and lightweight, it's 120mm fans provide excellent cooling and are virtually silent. I've owned this product for quite a while and have jostled it a fair amount (LAN parties and such) and have no complaints.
Cons: none so far.
Other Thoughts: If I were to build myself a new machine today, I would choose this again as a case.
