Introduction

Most of the cases on today's market are designed for standard components. Not a whole lot of cases can offer guaranteed support for large expansion cards like the 8800GTX, unlike the NZXT Alpha. This is the first case that I have seen that offers eSATA as an external port. Its sleek high-gloss black paint and custom drive bays will keep your case aesthetically pleasing. This steel mid-tower case will surely have you impressed. Let's take a further look to see what all this case has to offer.

The Alpha comes shipped in a very professional looking box with high resolution images and a glossy coating. On one side of the box we find an informative paragraph and some of the key features of this case. Whenever we open the box we find the case wrapped in a plastic bag supported by two Styrofoam blocks.
