NZXT already teased its new curved PC case during CES 2016 show and today, we finally have a chance to check it as the company has officially announced it as the Manta mini-ITX PC case.
Based on curved steel exterior panels, which should offer much more room for cable management compared to similar PC cases on the market, the NZXT Manta has 245x426x450mm dimensions, which makes it a bit larger than a traditional mini-ITX PC case.
It supports up to 160mm tall CPU coolers, up to 363mm long graphics cards and 363mm long PSUs. The cooling and radiator support is quite extensive for a mini-ITX case as it has room for two 140/120mm at the front, two 140/120mm at the top and single 120mm at the rear, which also means it can support up to 280mm radiator at the top, 280mm one at the front and a 120mm radiator at the back. It comes bundled with two 120mm at the front and single 120mm fan at the rear.
As far as drive bays are concerned, the NZXT Manta lacks 5.25-inch drive bay but has two 3.5-inch and three 2.5-inch bays. It also comes with LED lighting for rear I/O panel, integrated PWM fan hub and features a PSU shroud, which should also help with cable management.
According to NZXT, the Manta PC case will be available in Matte White/Black, Matte Black/Red with windowed side panel and Matte Black with and without a window side panel. We still do not have a precise date for every version but the windowed model should be priced at US $139.99 and should be available later in February.
