Abstract: Right out of the box, the NZXT Vulcan is a small case. Specifically, it’s built to hold a mATX motherboard, but still packs a lot of room for components and cooling. The case height is the only area that doesn’t measure up to a full sized case. Vulcan...
After going through the Vulcan top to bottom I was impressed. It has some very innovative design features and NZXT didn’t cut corners with anything. There are some things little things that could have been better but there can be on any case. If your l...

We'd like to thank our friends at NZXT for providing the Vulcan micro ATX case for our review today. The overall style, build quality, innovative use of beveled mesh elements, and dual-channel fan controller really won us over. The expandability options w...
Removable Power Supply Intake Filter, Rubber Antivibration Power Supply Support, Dual 8w Fan Control, Toolfree Installation via Thumbscrews and Hard Drive Rails, Excellent Cable Management, Very Large CPU Heatsink cutout, Support for 170mm Tall Heatsinks, Removable Bottom Hard Drive Cage, Durable Steel
