From cases to cooling, NZXT has something for everyone - and for every budget. With this review, we're taking a look at the company's Switch 810 full-tower chassis, designed for those who want solid design, big space, effective cooling, and can appreciate other smaller features not often seen on the competition's products.

Yes. .

I love the inside of this chassis, but I hate the outside. There's just so much plastic, and the aesthetic design in general doesn't appeal to me at all. On the upside, I love the fact that the chassis has an internal tiltable fan (I'm not sure if I'd even use it, though), and I agree with Ryan on the epicness of the LED-lit panel at the back (I end up using my cell phone for a flashlight when trying to plug something into the back).

The design aesthetic is just awful. I feel that if it weren't for the gloss finish, it'd definitely look a lot better. If I got the case for myself, I'd most likely take a scotch-brite pad to it to pull the gloss off.
