NZXT has brought an interesting chassis to the market. The Switch 810 brings a plethora of unique features to the table, including adjustable top slats for airflow and noise reduction, room for a liquid cooled system and corresponding multiple radiators, and a first – LEDs on the backside. Combining all this with an exquisitely simple and modern build and attractive exterior finish, the Switch has great potential to be one of the finest chassis’ in its class.

Unfortunately, nothing is without fault. The top slats do little for the acoustic department, resulting in noisy airflow. To install several radiators, it can only be done with the sacrifice of one 5.25″ drive at the top, and three 3.5″ drives at the bottom. While the physical size is a blessing to work in, it is also a curse in transportation – the Switch is made to stay in one place. But aside from these short-comings and inconveniences, NZXT’s latest Switch 810 chassis is still a phenomenal purchase and is highly recommended for two types of people – those who want the best home for their high-end system, and those who are ready to achieve a killer over clock.

A special thanks to NZXT for making this review possible.
