NZXT does things a little different with its new Manta, a Mini-ITX case with curved steel paneling. This gives the case a unique look and also promises to offer users twice more cable management space than in a traditional square Mini-ITX case.

The downside is that the Manta is very large for a Mini-ITX case, it measures 245mm x 426mm x 450mm (W x H x D) and weighs 7.2kg.

It has two 3.5" HDD slots, three 2.5" slots, two expansion slots, room for a regular ATX power supply, support for five 120/140mm fans (three included) and support for watercooling radiators (up to 280mm). There's room for a CPU cooler with a height of 160mm, video cards as long as 363mm and PSUs with a length of up to 363mm.

The Manta features a large case window and looks very attractive. You can get it in all-black, black/red and black/red color options, and there's also a windowless version for those who don't like case windows. The case ships next month for $139.99.
