NZXT Builds Switch 810 Hybrid PC Case for Hardcore Buyers

There is a new high-end case for sale, one that has a fair chance of overshadowing most others, even rival high-end ones, through its price alone if nothing else.

The NZXT Switch 810 is definitely not the sort of personal computing product that more than a handful of people in the whole world will afford.

After all, there aren't many who would spend $169.99, or 129.20 Euro, on just the case of a desktop PC, no matter how fancy.

Nevertheless, that is exactly what the NZXT Switch 810 is listed for on Newegg and Amazon (admittedly, the latter offers it for slightly less).

That amount of cash will net buyers a large tower case with enough room on the inside for most motherboards and CPUs.

Likewise, it is possible to install even the biggest CPU coolers, thanks to a large cutout on the motherboard tray that lets such things be installed without removing the platform.

Moving on, up to seven HDDs or SSDs can be held by the internal HDD pull-out cages.

Furthermore, the various 5.25-inch and 2.5-inch drive bays permit tool-free installation of storage devices.

"Since its debut in January, Switch 810 has received a windfall of overwhelmingly positive feedback and awards from the enthusiast community" said Johnny Hou, founder of NZXT. 

"We are confident that Switch 810 will become a mainstay in the DIY realm as the most feature-rich, innovative, and value-packed option on the market."

One of the so-called “value” options is the support for high-tier water cooling: 90 mm of internal top space with top 360/420 mm and bottom 140/240 mm radiator support.

Other assets are nine expansion slots, an acrylic side window, cable management via ten cutout holes, dual high-speed USB 3.0 and a hard drive dock along with a SD card reader, plus up to ten 120/140mm fans.
