Announcing the Beta EVO, a sleek, all-black, value-packed mid tower case at a budget price. Beta EVO features advanced cooling performance with support for up to six 120mm fans with an option of a 140mm fan at the top. Beta EVO also provides external dual radiator support along with a meshed front panel allowing for enhanced cooling potential.
Full of options for expansion, the case fits high performance 10.5" graphics cards, up to four external 5.25" drives and five internal 3.5" HDD racks. Beta EVO provides a number of features that significantly enhance ease of installation including screwless installation for 5.25" drives and superior wire management capabilities with the bottom mounted PSU and HDD cage turned 180-degrees. It also features punched holes in the motherboard tray allowing for quick CPU bracket removal.
Pros: Case is very well constructed. All edges were properly rolled and the spacing seems to be very well thought out. Feels solid enough without being too heavy.
Everything was very easy to install into this case. Tons of room for even the biggest hands, like mine. Plenty of room for cables behind the motherboard plate. I've never been tempted to install a window in my case before, but this looks so great I just may.
Air flow is great in this case, my fans seem to be moving air at least twice as quickly as my old case (but that case wasn't the best). I've got a couple more fans on the way from newegg, and I'm guessing with the max installed this thing will be like a wind tunnel (hopefully not as loud as one though).
Cons: Hard drive cage forces you to insert hard drives with cables facing away from main access side. Not the biggest deal, I just would have preferred the option.
The "no screw" clips for drive bays feel very cheap. They did, however, work without failing. NZXT also provided enough that when they break (and I think they probably will) I'll have enough to replace them. The thumbscrews for the access panels were also cheap; plastic housing around a regular screw. I replaced the thumbscrews with solid metal ones I had laying around.
Other Thoughts: Make sure to use the included small black screws for installing the motherboard. I tried to use the incorrect screws and cost myself a lot of extra build time trying to get them back out. Normally would not have done that, but the black threw me. Looks REALLY freaking good now, black case interior, black mobo, and black screws holding it all together.

Pros: Roomy, LOTS of ventilation, good wire routing, looks great, and can fit a 5870 video card.
Cons: Only one fan included, but the price is right
Other Thoughts: This case will surprise you. Well made, easy to fit everything into, and a ton of ventilation ports to fit fans on. I live in an area where it gets hot in the summer time, so a case with really good ventilation keeps the cpu & vid card much happier.
Add free shipping and Newegg getting it here really fast, and, it's a great deal.

Pros: The case is really nice, plenty of room for mounting liquid cooling setup & other misc goodies.
Cons: The 480 watt power supply included for free, is NOT a good choice for the case. The P4 power cable is about 4 inches too short, considering the location of the power supply being on the bottom of the case. I have a low profile video card, & the cable will not go over, or around it. Going to have to extend P4 power cable.
Other Thoughts: Rather bummed that I have to break out the wire stripper & soldering iron on a new product, because it wasn't matched correctly.

Pros: Great case, didnt have any problems with it, I'm really liking the black finish in the inside, great air flow when you add fans, and the cut out behind the cpu helps out a lot.
Cons: only things dont really like about it, its the fact they dont included a exhaust fan in the back.
Other Thoughts: really great case, lots of room to work in, easy to use and overall nice casual look
