NZXT M59 chassis surfaces

An unannounced NZXT chassis has surfaced in a German webshop. The steel M59 case features a black finish on both the in- and outside. The curved front gives the whole a futuristic look. A tinted window is placed on the side, featuring a 120 mm blue LED-fan to emphasize the design. The rear of the case features another 120 mm fan, while the top sports two mountings for optional 140 mm fans. Another 120 mm fan can also be placed on the front of the chassis.

The case is compatible with ATX and m-ATX motherboards and features four external 5.25" bays and seven internal 3.5" bays for harddisks or SSD's. Also present in the case is a bracket which will allow for easy installation of two 2.5" SSD's. The I/O panel on the front features the conventional connectors, including one eSATA port, two USB connectors and audio jacks.

Installing components will require a screwdriver. Unlike most competitors, NZXT has chosen not to use a tool-less design for the 5.25" drives and the seven rear expansion slots. A plus however is that the place where the CPU is located features a hole to make installing a CPU-cooler backplate easier. There's also plenty of room for cable management.

The NZXT M59 can be pre-ordered at a reasonably modest price of € 60 and will be launched later this month.
