  • The NZXT Vulcan is the perfect alternative to the full-size gaming PC. The case is well built and screams quality like most offerings from NZXT, if your hardware will fit inside the smallish NZXT Vulcan the case is a winner. ...

  • Can be hard to open. Little wiggle room inside the case can make wiring difficult. Designed for MicroATX motherboards.
