NZXT præsenterer Manta
NZXT har netop præsenteret deres bud på et ITX kabinet, hvor man går væk fra det traditionelle firkantede look og har erstattet det med bløde kurver i formstøbte stål plader. De påstår selv, at designet er revolutionerende inden for ITX. Der er dobbelt så meget plads til kabelføring og der er bedre plads til vandkøling. Der er plads til tre radiatorer og sleve luftgennemstrømningen skulle være mere naturlig. Hvordan man så definerer naturlig i et menneskeskabt produkt, lader vi brugerne om at bedømme. Dr er fundet plads til et stort vindue, så kabinettet er nok mest tiltænkt case modderne, der er villig til at give 1200-1300 kroner for et kabinet i den størrelse. Det kan dog også fås uden, til samme pris. Vi har fået tilsendt en pressemeddelelse som ses herunder. Der præsenterer de selv deres syn på det samt specifikationerne.
