Small size aluminum case supports full size graphics cards
Boutique system builder Velocity Micro sent word today that its new NX chassis is available immediately, provided you let the company fill it with parts with configurations starting out at $879. In other words, you can't buy the compact case on its own, though if you're looking for a small form factor system, Velocity Micro will happily assemble one for you inside the NX chassis.
To be clear, this isn't a rebadged case designed by another manufacturer -- Velocity Micro's team of Virginia-based engineers took their existing Smallblock case and added depth and more fans to it. Velocity Micro says it learns new things each time it custom designs a case, and while the NX isn't a drastic new design, the company's goal was to offer "extreme power capacity in a minimal footprint."
What it came up with is an aluminum enclosure that measures 12.75 inches (H) by 8 inches (W) by 12.5 inches (D) and is capable of swallowing full size, double-width graphics cards like Nvidia's Titan X and standard ATX power supplies. The NX can also hold up to four hard drives. Cooling is handled by side and top case fans.
The NX is available in three different PC lines -- Vector Z25 starting at $879 (home and office), Raptor Z40 starting at $1,179 (gaming), and ProMagix HD30 (workstation). You can check them out here.
