DV Hardware reviews

While looking at the case you notice the nicely designed front panel and that the side panel has four big 120mm fans.

The front
Now lets take a closer look at this case, I'll start with the front.





The case has a door that flips open, on top of the door is a black translucent acrylic window. This is useful if you have a LCD display installed in the top drive bay. Under the window is the power button and a LED which lights up red when there's HDD activity.

One of the things I noticed while taking these pictures is that the black plastic of the front panel attracts lots of dust.



The door flips open to the right, it has a couple of magnets so it won't open accidentally. Behind the door you'll find five black plastic 5.25" drive bay covers and two covers for the 3.5" drive bays.



Next to the floppy covers you can find the reset button.





Another feature of the front panel are these ports for USB, FireWire, audio and microphone connectors.

The top



The top of the case features a 80mm fan, unfortunately it doesn't have a dust filter so dust can fall right into your case through the holes of the fan grill.

The back
Here's a picture of the back of the NZXT Zero case:



You can see that it has two big 120mm fans with a regular fan grill that allows lots of airflow.

The bottom
The bottom features four feet and a hole for an optional 80mm fan.
