CONCLUSION

From the start, the NZXT M59 has been a winner. It has most of the latest features of a high-end case, with the price-tag of a budget case. The black on black look of the M59 looks great and the window on the side shows off all of the goodies tucked inside. With space for a watercooling radiator on the top of the case, there is plenty of room for cooling expansion.

Another way NZXT is looking out for users is with the inclusion of an SSD adapter. A feature like this in a budget case is nice to see.

A budget case is not without flaws, and the M59 is no different. Luckily the only real flaws we discovered were the difficult motherboard stand-off holes and tight cable management in some areas. A few places on the case like the side panels and front panel seemed a little flimsy, but overall the case is pretty solid.
