NZXT Apollo

Performance:

Proceeding to see how well the NZXT Apollo truly stacks up, we had installed the following hardware:

Installing the Tyan server motherboard inside of this chassis was a tight fight but luckily, all had fit well. During the entire installation process, we had not run into any show-stopping challenges. The included fans were relatively quiet, and the SECC steel design had done a great job at keeping the system minimally quiet.

Conclusion:

This has been yet another case review, and while nothing too jaw dropping was done with this case, NZXT had managed to make the Apollo into a nice midtower package. Much of the chassis is screw-less, offers an innovative see-through smoked acrylic pane, and uses SECC steel for top-notch quality. At the time of writing, the NZXT Apollo can be found for approximately $70 USD, which is well priced for the offering.
