  • The NZXT Vulcan may have a few rather glaring drawbacks, like the fact that you will most likely end up with a noisy and compact CPU cooler as nothing else will fit or the fact that you will most likely end up scratching the thin paint job at the first...

  • Although I am doing Pros and cons as well as conclusion in the videos now let me just say this: The NZXT Vulcan is the best m-ATX case I have ever seen and it even rivals a couple full size ATX cases out there. NZXT are putting themselves in the positi...

  • The aesthetics of the NZXT Vulcan are somewhat simple, it is not an overly decorative case nor is it completely unembellished, it does have the two included orange backlit fans. There are dust filters on the front intake fan as well as on the PSU bay w...

  • Abstract:  Regardless, if you’re in the market for an enthusiast-class microATX case and don’t mind NZXT’s aggressive, angular aesthetics, the Vulcan delivers. And it does so without breaking the bank.

  • Although I don't do much traveling around to different LAN parties, I can certainly appreciate the small size and portability of the NZXT Vulcan for those that do. The chassis leaves enough room for full size gaming components while offering a minima...

  • Mini-tower cases full of features are starting to emerge, and NZXT Vulcan is a good contender at its price point (USD 70 suggested, but you will surely see it being sold by less), providing a good value for the user looking a small case for building a ...
