NZXT has put out this new case to appeal to a larger market on a stretched budget.  Packed full of high end trappings the Beta is a very straight forward box that some may find suitable for their needs or wants.

The Beta is part of the Classic Series of cases from NZXT so don't expect a whole lot of bling; this is a down to earth, function over form mid-tower chassis. NZXT has been coupled with both quality and value in the past.

There is an old saying "you get what you pay for" -- I hope this is not the case here, no pun intended. The Beta is a strict budget case and I hope it doesn't fall short of what NZXT is trying to do. In fact I admire their spunk. So let's get into this budget build and see how the Beta holds up.
