Today we will be looking at the first of three PC cases from NZXT. Their original Zero case was well received as it was designed for quiet cooling and performance. The follow up to this acclaimed case is the aptly named Zero 2 which is designed for the home enthusiast and gamer in mind. Unlike its predecessor which was made of relatively light aluminum, the Zero 2 is 10.2 KG of hardened steel.

It has plenty of room for expansion as it features thirteen drive bays in total. Cooling is the main theme as the Zero 2 can accommodate eight fans in total with two included in the bundle. A 500 Watt PSU is optional, but in this day and age 50 Watts may not always be enough.

So lets take a closer look at the Zero 2 and see if it measures up to its predecessor.
