Packaging & Accessories


Overall, the box is exactly what you would expect from any well-packaged case; it is made of corrugated cardboard, which is not easily damaged. Luckily, the UPS delivery guy seemed to be having a good day so there was only a bit of cosmetic damage and no boot marks on the box.


The outside of the box holds all of the information you would need if you were picking this case up in a brick and mortar store; there is a text box full of highlights regarding the main features of the Alpha as well as a few pictures. It is great to know that this case is 8800GTX compatible, since as technology progresses it seems like the size of graphics cards increase as well.

Going on to the other features mentioned here, it seems like NZXT is getting on the tool-less installation bandwagon as well as trying to keep noise to a minimum by including low-noise fans. Also, it seems NZXT included a few USB ports and an audio/microphone jack on their case since these specs are the bare minimum for any type of gamer.


The case was 100% snug and secure when it came out of the box. There are two big styrofoam molds; one surrounding each end of the case to prevent cosmetic damage. The case is also wrapped in a tough plastic which is used to prevent scratches to the glossy paint. The Alpha arrived flawless and without any damage which is always a good thing....
