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.

It is nice that it has dust filters, but it doesnt look very easy and convenient to clean them out. The tool-lless design is nice, most cases seem to have that now.
For a cheap, budget case it may work, but I've seen better looking cases.
look, all in all, it seems like a good enough case for low to mid end systems (and of course the budgets), but i think its pretty safe to say that none of us here would have this case pop up as our first recommendation for a case.
I forgot where I saw it but I read somewhere that a couple of people use coffee filters as dust filters for their case and it works great.
wait, which kind? i certainly hope youre not talking about the brown paper type...
lol, worse comes to worse, just cut out a square from your clothing and use that
