NZXT Vulcan Case Review

Rating: 8.0.


Today in the KitGuru labs we are looking at the latest offering from NZXT.  This is the third chassis from NZXT that we have recently dissected and after the mixed results we experienced with the Beta EVO, we are hoping for a better showing this time.

The NZXT Vulcan is part of NZXT's crafted series and is a m-ATX design geared for gamers on the go. Don't let the outward appearance or the small size of the Vulcan fool you this m-ATX case can contend with even the largest graphics cards on the market today.

  1. Seems like a nice little product, but its a bit skimpy they didnt include the 200mm fan with it. quite surprised they didnt;

  2. Its a very robotic looking chassis isnt it? quite cool looking, but the removal of the fan, for such a reduction in temperatures seems self defeating.

  3. Good read Steve, interesting looking case, I think its rather fugly mind you. cooling seems good, when you spend another £10 on a fan for it !

  4. Price is good, but they should have upped it slightly to include the 200mm fan, seems like an oversight on NZXT part.

  5. Personally I dont want the 200mm fan, at 39db its too loud for me, id rather opt for a high quality 200mm fan myself online if I needed it.

  6. NZXT are selling in the UK/Europe now I see which is good, as they werent before. I am not sure if this appeals to me really though, its a bit ugly looking.

  7. Looks seem to be splitting opinion here anyway. I rather like it, but its a shame the fan wasnt part of the pricing scheme, for what you get I think its rather costly.

  8. Seems like a rather interesting product but im not sure im sold on the appearance.

  9. Looks ok, I think there are better cases for the money however in todays climate.

  10. I bought one of these a while ago and I can’t say im really that impressed. it is ok, but I wish I had opted for the silverstone SG07 SUGO I read about here last week, its more costly but it looks much nicer imo.

  11. Very interesting indeed, and good review thanks.

  12. Good review Steve – its not my cup of tea mind you, but the review was good.
