Introduction, Features, Technical Specifications

NZXT creates customized hybrid case for extreme watercooling or air-based cooling.

Introduction

PC enclosures continue to evolve as new hardware comes to market like Intel’s new Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge processors, affordable solid state drives, and custom liquid cooling solutions. It is more critical than ever that users pay strict attention to not only what a PC case looks like, but what hardware it supports. Since it was founded in  2004, NZXT has been developing unique PC cases to satisfy the appetites of PC gamers and hardware enthusiasts alike. Their latest creation dubbed the Switch 810 is a full-tower "hybird" case that is optimized to support liquid cooling or air-cooled solutions.

 

The Switch 810 brings together many crowd favorites like right-mounted hard drives with removable HD cages and support for 140 to 240mm radiators to give users a plethora of options for cooling their PC components. If you don’t want to go the liquid cooling route, the Switch 810 has room for 10 fans on the front, back, top, and bottom panels. PC builders can use 120mm or 140mm fans, and NZXT starts them off by including four 140mm fans with the Switch 810 to provide excellent airflow for any PC setup.

 

This full tower case retails for $169.99 and supports a variety of motherboards including extended ATX, ATX, micro ATX, and mini ITX to name a few. There are four external 5.25" drive bays and six internal 3.5" drive bays to give users plenty of storage space and also provide room for multiple DVD and Blu-ray burners. One of the 5.25" bays has a hot-swappable SATA hard drive cage that supports 3.5" hard drives and 2.5" solid state drives.
