Introduction

I would like to thank CaseKing.de for supplying the review sample.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but due to great demand, an English version is in the works. We received continous support from CaseKing and they were kind enough to send us the latest from NZXT: the Vulcan mATX chassis.

Specifications

Packaging

The Vulcan ships in a brown cardboard box. Instead of the usual full color packaging you will find an image simply printed straight unto the plain box. The rear and sides go into greater detail about the case itself and. As you can see the package is not really very sturdy and has been bent inward during shipping. I hope the chassis itself is unharmed.


NZXT has sandwiched the chassis between two very small Styrofoam spacers. It looks like they are trying to save on the overall costs in every aspect of packaging to offer you the case at the most affordable price. It will be interesting to see if the chassis still has some quality to it or not.
