NZXT is a company which builds cases for almost every taste and nearly every budget. They produce several categories of cases, hoping to capture every gamer's unique style; among them they have the rugged Adamas, the sleek Duet and the fully-loaded Zero. Even though NZXT is most known for their cases, they also have a full lineup of highly-regarded power supplies as well. Their motto of "Crafted Gaming Armour" does well in conveying the direction which their case-building has taken them; they want to cater to gamers with unique designs and add features that will answer the needs of this particular market. All of their cases carry a one year warranty which is not particularly long but it is backed up by some very good customer support.

In this review we will be looking at NZXT's brand new Alpha mid-tower case. Not only is this case one of their more simple and compact designs but it is also one of the few enclosures in this price range that is 8800GTX compatible. Speaking of price, here in Canada the Alpha is priced at an extremely competitive $80 which puts it in the same price category as many generic cases. If NZXT can stick to their past build quality and maybe add a few unique features to this case, it could be a real winner. So, let's see how it does, shall we?
