Final words and conclusion

 

What we did like:

The impressive presence of the NZXT Apollo will be desired by many. While many companies try to impress with strange designs and funky colours and lighting, the Apollo will stand out with its simplicity and elegance. The quality of the Apollo is above average for a case in this price range. A great deal of attention was given on the door of the Apollo; we haven’t seen many cases before with steel door hinges and a magnetic door lock. The tool-less design of the case makes it very convenient to use. Finally the cooling options of the Apollo are excellent, with two 120mm fans pre-installed and another 120mm intake hole present at the front of the case.

What we did not like:

There are few things which downgrade the overall feel of the Apollo. One of them is the front tinted plastic window on the case’s door. While it is a good idea in theory, the very strong tinting will render most LCD screens  unreadable. As the inside of the door is black, the tinting should be less intense in order to allow LCD screens to be clearly visible through it. The side window panel looks great however it is a little on the flimsy side. We would like to see a thicker side panel window.

Who we would recommend it to:

The NZXT Apollo which will most certainly appeal to everyone looking for a case which will not go unnoticed by the elegance of its design. It is not overly expensive, yet it has an impressive presence, offers good quality and is ergonomic. The Apollo is a very good addition in the product line-up of NZXT.

What do these awards mean?

The average price of the NZXT Apollo case is 80€ in EU at the time of this review.
