When it comes to the case, you want something that you can all the components (with some room for future upgrades), they are cool, look good and still within budget. The new center of M59 Tower NZXT looks as if it should fit any of these criteria.

The feature list for this case looks a lot like some of the other NZXT offers which have impressed us in the past. You have 5 fans for airflow, including optional side-and top-mounted 120mm fan. Like most of NZXT’s cases, you will notice, pre-drill holes for mounting a liquid cooling solution. The front and mesh-look is probably enough to sell for most people, but there are two functions that I would like to say that you should think really long and hard about updating your case.

SSD’s are more and more popular these days, especially with players. They are still a bit expensive, but they can add that little bit more performance you are looking for. Unfortunately, if you are installing on your system, you will soon realize that you do not need to mount. The guys over at NZXT were wise enough to see this problem, and two 2.5 “drive bays for just that reason.

Even thinking about upgrades if you have installed a liquid cooling system you probably had to deal with the motherboard from the case. This is because you usually need a special mount on the back of the card. Once again, the M59 for you. A look behind the CPU is still open on the case, just on the side. Your Board is still attached to the case, but now you only need to the side to mount. Very stylish. You can order this case until next month.
