NZXT Panzerbox Mid Tower Case Review

Packaging and Accessories


The Panzerbox ships in a relatively small box measuring 20x20x12 inches. It’s short and wide dimensions hint to the tank-like case within. The box is not overly colourful, but does provide a nice angled image of the Panzerbox as well as a list of features and specifications.


With the box cracked open, we’re greeted with a decent amount of foam and spacing between the case and the walls of the box. The case itself is wrapped in plastic to keep dust out during transportation and warehousing.

As we have mentioned in previous case reviews, it is important to remember that online vendors almost never place an enclosure box within another box filled with protective packaging like they would with smaller items. What comes from the case manufacturer is what gets tossed around by the courier company.


The Panzerbox ships with a pretty minimal set of accessories. Lots of thumb-screws are included for tool-free hard drive mounting, and all of the various other screws and standoffs are packed in individual labelled bags for ease of identification. Although this may not seem like anything too significant, it can be frustrating to figure out which screws are used for what purpose when they are just dumped into a common baggie.
NZXT also includes some mounting brackers for a single or dual 120mm watercooling radiator to be installed at the top of the case. We’ll be taking a closer look at the Panzerbox’s watercooling potential shortly.

NZXT also includes a printed manual with the Panzerbox. It’s not just a product overview or quick reference either, but none other than the full-fledged manual. The manual contains a fair amount of detail and should be sufficient for the majority of buers, but the images are small and not terribly easy to make out. The manual can also be found online in PDF format at the Panzerbox product page.
