Conclusion

General   + -
The NZXT Source 530 PC case is a great addition to the well known Source Series from NZXT. The build quality reflects the NZXT standard and the product is very good in almost all aspects. However, the Source Source 530 is not perfect, as we would have liked to see more space behind the motherboard for a better cable management. We particularly enjoyed the presence of large magnetic dust filters and a very good bundle. The Source 530 comes bundled with two 140mm fans and one 120mm fan which are pre-installed at the front and the back of the case.   - Design
- Bundle
       
Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics   + -
The build quality with this case is on a really good level. For example, NZXT did not hopelessly save weight on the side panels. Furthermore, putting all the components in place is very comfortable, since there is plenty of space everywhere. We liked the rubber grommets and the use of large dust filters.
For our configuration we used an all-in-one water cooling system from NZXT which fits perfectly at the top part of the Source 530.
  - Build quality - Dust filters - Space behind mobo tray
       
Design   + -
The Source 530 is a full-tower case for ATX motherboard. The finish of the front is well done. Overall, the design is timeless and the case would look decent on, as well as underneath, any desk. We would even go to the point to say that installing a 5.25 inch drive would ruin the looks of the front. Even on the inside, NZXT has used a cool solution for 2.5-inch drives, in order to keep the clean design.   - Design
       
Recommendation   + -
Should you be looking for a full-tower case with a cool design, a good bundle, good manufacturing quality and a very reasonable price tag of US $119.99, then you will not make a mistake by choosing the NZXT Source 530.   - Gaming-PC
- Enthusiast build


- Price
 
Rating
The NZXT Source 530 gets a good four out of five stars.
