M59 Review by 3DGameman

“Overall, our pick of the lot is the NZXT M-59. Not only does it look special, it is also an easy to use casing with sufficient space for today's high-end components (if you squeeze a little). Build quality is commendable; and the option to add on additional cooling fans or even take the liquid cooling route shows that NZXT designed the M-59 with enthusiasts in mind. Sure, the M-59 might be the most expensive casing here, but its features and its outstanding build quality makes it feel as if it costs more than its S$109 asking price.”

“I have seen cheaper cases go through my hands, but they weren’t as nice inside as the M59 is. While NZXT kept budget builders in mind when pricing this chassis, they sure didn’t hold back on anything as far as offerings. Currently this chassis can be located almost anywhere, and I found it over at Newegg for $59.99 plus shipping. Let’s count this out. 75% tool-less, a unique shape and design, a window, painted inside and out, room for more fans, and good air flow out of the box. That’s six major positives when considering a chassis, and the NZXT M59 offers all this for under $60 before shipping.”

“NZXT has done a great job delivering a very functional yet affordable mid-tower to the masses. The M59 currently retails for only $59 shipped from Newegg, and that’s quite a bargain for what you get in return. While the M59 certainly won’t run with the big dogs, it doesn’t carry a big price tag either, and we think it’s a great value case.”

“As I mentioned at the start of this review, I'm a case snob. I've owned Lian Li, Cooler Master, and other multi-hundred-dollar high end cases. Before I was introduced to this case it would never have occurred to me to look at anything this inexpensive. But actually building a system in a case is the real test, and for a mere $59.99 at NewEgg.com, the M59-001BK case easily offers the most bang for the buck I've seen.”

El mercado más amplio es el que se agencia con piezas de carácter medio-alto. La calidad de ciertos componentes (gráficas, etcétera) no se conoce hasta no haber probado a fondo el producto, pero en otros, como las cajas, y excepto en casos muy determinados, la calidad se nota más a simple vista. NZXT nos vuelve a sorprender con una unidad de grandes prestaciones en un tamaño contenido y con una excelente calidad de materiales. Tenemos espacio para casi todo lo que podamos necesitar, lo cual es esencial en una caja.

En un mercado tan competitivo como este cualquier detalle puede marcar la diferencia, y NZXT ha procurado dotar a su M59 con una cantidad suficiente de características y extras para competir con garantías. Nos ha llamado la atención positivamente el hecho de traer hueco en la bandeja de la placa base para acceder al socket, el interior totalmente en negro, la inclusión de filtros antipolvo hasta para la fuente de alimentación o el conversor para discos de 2,5”. Son detalles que no vemos a menudo incluso en cajas que doblan y triplican en precio a esta M59.

Alt i alt er jeg veldig godt forn?ed kabinettet som er veldig funksjonelt og har et stilig design som vil flokke til seg skuelystne. Det er en ting jeg kicker litt p?g det er at NZXT kunne ha valgt st?vifter for enda bedre kj? samt mindre st?mt flere USB-tilkoblinger p?remsiden av kabinettet, men utenom det er M59 et godt kj?eg vil anbefale alle som skal bytte ut sitt kjedelige kabinett og bygge noe nytt om ?jekke ut dette kabinettet fra NZXT.

“For a $60 USD chassis you're going to get one of the better chassis available for the price bracket with a big brand name behind it. For anyone on a tight budget I would recommend taking a look at this case for its full feature set and infectious styling.”

“It does have quite a number of features for its price which on newegg seems to coincide with the model number at a nice $59.99. It proved to offer comparable performance to to the comparison cases in the testing, so maybe this case could be one for you. When you couple the rugged looks with the attractive price point you have a case that delivers on price, performance, and looks.”

“I feel this chassis warrants a rating of 8 out of10 on our rating scale. The pros far outweigh the cons. I find it hard to fault this chassis when I put the price and competition into perspective. Nothing I have personally tested comes close to overall performance in its class and it even competes very well with offerings costing more than double. Keep up the good work NZXT, and keep feeding us these awesome values!”

“Despite the little flaws though, this case is a strong performer in the budget category, and I've become accustomed to looking over at my own piece of stealth machinery. The fans are reasonably quite -- my CPU cooler is louder by far, and many users may never need to put more than 2 hard drives in their system (or might completely escape that problem with slimmer SATA connectors).”

“Great case all-in-all, with some good looks to boot! Good cooling makes it an excellent gamers’ chassis with plenty of room for expansion. It is water cooling ready even with old school water cooling equipment. There is enough room inside for even the longest graphic cards. Cable management is sufficient for most needs and the sweet lighting seals the deal. It even includes a bracket for SSD drives. For 60$ it’s a steal.”

The M59 Classic Series Mid Tower chassis is yet another solid offering from NZXT. These guys are constantly updating their line of cases, but rarely are they simple cosmetic changes. The pre-cut hole beneath the CPU and inclusion of a SSD bracket prove that these guys know what consumers want and need. At $59, this case has a lot to offer without breaking the bank.

Es hat Spaß gemacht dieses Gehäuse zu testen mit seinem ungewöhnlichen Design und sehr großen Seitenfenster macht es optisch eine sehr gute Figur.Die Verarbeitung hatte ein paar kleine Stellen die nicht richtig lackiert waren diese sind aber nicht im Sichtbereich, das mit den Entkoppeln der Festplatten war sehr gut und ganz einfach zu installieren. Zusätzliche Feature war die Beleuchtung in der Front und am Lüfter im Seitenfenster. Der Miditower bietet genug Platz um reichlich Hardware zu verbauen, auch wurde an die Wakü User gedacht.

"Si hay que destacar algo sobre la M59, ser?su curioso dise? la facilidad a la hora de instalar nuestro hardware. Las bah? para los discos duros, los tornillos para apretar con las manos, la compatibilidad con gr?cas de gran tama? el hueco para poder quitar o poner un disipador sin tener que sacar la placa, son aspectos muy importantes a la hora de escoger caja..."

Dies ist bei der Preisklasse keine Selbstverst?lichkeit. Auch die Position des Netzteils, dass nun nach unten verfrachtet wurde, ist f?se Preisklasse ?erst selten.Es scheint fast so, als ob NZXT bestimmte Features von hochpreisigen Geh?en verst?t zu den preiswerteren Geh?en verfrachten will. Auf diese Weise konkurriert das M59 nicht nur besser mit Geh?en in seiner Preisklasse, sondern kann sich auch gegen teurere Geh?e positionieren, die wom?ch nur wegen dieser Features von vielen Anwendern favorisiert werden.

“NZXT promised an advanced gaming chassis that's easy to build. On all accounts, NZXT has delivered. Not only does this case facilitate easy building, it also allows for easy upgrades by making swapping of components a breeze. Airflow potential is excellent with this case. With 5 large fan mounting locations, this case can flow lots of air and be quiet about it. There are filters on all of the intake fans. Even the power supply has its own filtered intake. The M59 definitely has an unique look. It may polarize some users, but it definitely will stand out at a LAN party and it doesn't look like a cheap knock off.”

Genau so wie bei dem NZXT Beta ist auch beim M59 ein recht einfaches und dennoch ansehnliches Gehäuse gelungen. Die dunkle Farbgebung und die Auffällige Form sind recht modern gehalten und mit dem Seitenfenster sollen natürlich vorallem die Modder und Gamer angesprochen werden. Auch der schwarze Innenraum ergänzt sich super dem Gesamtbild.

NZXT bringt mit dem M59 ein sehr gelungenes Gehäuse auf den Markt, das für seinen Preis mehr bietet als der Marktdurchschnitt. Die Front-Anschlüsse sind vollständig und äußerst bequem erreichbar. Zwei hochwertige Lüfter werden mitgeliefert, wovon einer blau beleuchtet ist. Der Einbau von SSD-Laufwerken ist ebenfalls unkompliziert, da hierfür eine sehr komfortable Lösung gefunden wurde. Das Design tanzt positiv aus der Reihe und besticht unter anderem durch den rundum schwarzen Lack, auch dies dürfte die meisten Interessenten erfreuen. Bei einem Preis von 59,90 Euro fällt es uns nicht schwer eine Kaufempfehlung für dieses hochwertige Gehäuse auszusprechen.

Zu beachten ist der geringe Preis von grade mal ~60€ für ein durchaus gelungenes Gehäuse. Umso mehr ist die Verarbeitungsqualität zu loben, welche keine Fehler offenbart. Alles in allem muss man aber natürlich den recht geringen Preis im Auge behalten und dem M59 von NZXT ein gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis eingestehen.

“From the start, the NZXT M59 has been a winner. It has most of the latest features of a high-end case, with the price-tag of a budget case. The black on black look of the M59 looks great and the window on the side shows off all of the goodies tucked inside. With space for a watercooling radiator on the top of the case, there is plenty of room for cooling expansion.”

“In all, we really like the M59… It is a very attractive and distinctive case with plenty of room for growth. NZXT represents a relative new kid on the block, but competition is good for everyone we’re glad to say that it seems they’re here to stay.”
