NZXT Intros Gamma Classic Series Case
NZXT expanded its Classic Series of PC cases with the Gamma. This all-black ATX mid-tower intends to provide the essentials of casing the PC of today, while attempting to be creative with its bezel design to the extant possible. It measures 190 X 449 X 508 mm (W x H x D), and weighs 6 kg. The case material is steel, including a dash of meshed steel in the front-panel. The front-panel includes four 5.25" drive bays, audio, USB, and eSATA connectors, and perforated steel to cover the front intake fan.
The interiors are all-black, with seven internal 3.5" drive bays. Apart from openings that help in cable management, the motherboard tray has an opening that makes working with CPU coolers with back-plates easier. The ventilation system provides a lot of room for expansion: a 120 mm intake fan, two side 120 mm fans, a rear 120 mm, and another two 140 or 120 mm fans on top. Ports for water-tubing are included. It is available in Europe, for a price of 39.90 EUR.

*Might have problems with large video cards.
That front looks... awkward at first sight... but... I don't know. I should see it live.
Antec, this is NOT how it should be done.
if the front was FLAT, i'd like it. the front ruins it.
looks like a generic mid tower with the PSU at the bottom, in all honesty (but appropriate for the price point, i guess)
:(
I went through 23 NewEgg pages of Mid-Towers, and realised, there's just no innovation what-so-ever; all look generic.
If you want good air-flow, you gotta get an ugly generic thing (like this one) or full tower. I honestly couldn't find a single (mid) chassis that looked better to me than the NZXT Apollo, but that means sacrificing air. Either that or get a half-a-tonne full tower monster that no-one would like to have to carry to a LAN party. Out of all the thousands of chassis manufacturing employees, there's really limited imagination IMO.:shadedshu
I mean, maybe I'm wrong, can anyone tell me of any mid tower that isn't generic and is still attractive? (give links if so):wtf:
Not a fan of the front panel either, but if it keeps your components its no fuss.
It does bother me they paint this case but don't paint their cases with huge side windows like the Apollo or Tempest.
i like that case so this one appeals also
I think the Scout from CM Storm is not generic, but attractive, and the sniper also. Heres the link: Scout
Would be ok for a "behind the sofa" cruncher though.
