  • As with every installation I do, the first thing I take is the power supply and slot it into place. In this case, it is the Cooler Master V750 750W. Just to note, NZXT states a maximum length of 363mm for the power supply clearance, but I doubt anyone has...

  • Abstract:  The new mystery NZXT case is finally here: the Manta. This mini-ITX case bends the rules with its curvy frame, and it's aimed at the growing mITX market of those who demand small, powerful systems. Let's see if this small fry lives up to big expectations...

  • Interesting curved design, Easy cable management, Solid build quality
  • Relatively expensive for an ITX case, No reset button
  • The Manta's good looks deliver extra space, but in other areas it falls a little short in terms of features...

  • Of course, the Manta has its limitations, and we would like to see this chassis put on steroids, allowing for larger versions of it in the future. Of the four, we are having a hard time deciding if we like the white version seen here, or the matte black...

  • Motherboardbased, sevenchannel fan controller, Extensive Water Cooling Support, Switchable Case Lighting, Room for Massive PSUs/GPUs
  • Price, Large Size for a Mini ITX Case
  • Although the Manta is large for a Mini ITX case, it should still be well received by those wanting to go small while still packing all out performance. Even though it may not be today's value winner, its sweeping curves and valued added features earn it...

  • Bold and curvy design, Spacious inside, Decent water cooling support, PSU Shroud, Wallmounted SSDs
  • Price could be more competitive, May be a bit big as an "ITX" case

  • Superb styling, lovely curved panels, Windowed main panel looks amazing, Very quiet, Good airflow, Intakes are fully filtered, Cable management is very good
  • It is a large case for MiniITX, 280mm radiator mounts are very tight for space, No cable management grommets, Unimpressive lighting kit, 2.5inch drives mount upside down, At present the HUEcontroller cannot be installed in the two main SSD bays, Price is
  • NZXT has launched a Mini-ITX case called Manta that breaks the rules, defies expectations and looks pretty darned cute into the bargain. Take a look at our video and photos and you will see that all the panels on the Manta are curved. This is a novel styl...

  • The Manta is a minitower designed for those who wish to have a miniITX case with good airflow First of all let's talk about the design We understand that this point is always subjective and we would prefer a shape with a less curves The NZXT Manta is a pr...

  • Every now and then a new Case comes along that resets your thoughts on what makes a good case and make no mistake the NZXT Manta is a good Case. But it's simply more than just a good case, what makes it a great Case is that it is like no other, it's uniq...

  Published: 2016-02-17, Author: Parm , review by: HEXUS.net

  • Good build quality throughout, Curved side panels look great, Suited to a powerful mini-ITX build, Lots of room for cable management, Includes three fans and a PWM hub
  • Looks sparse without liquid cooling, Big for a mini-ITX case, Pricey at £110
  • We've previously predicted that 2016 would be the year in which mini-ITX hits its stride, yet while we expected small-form-factor PCs to get faster and more refined, we didn't expect them to get much bigger.A curious development, yet perhaps it should...
