The video reports on NZXT’s mystery case unveiled at CES 2016, with the host explaining that the case is still unnamed and unpriced. A key design cue is the car-inspired silhouette, notably a gentle divot on the top and an overall curved steel exterior that the host claims would be a first for computer cases. The narration walks through external features such as the curved steel panels, a potential window option that may be tinted or replaced by a solid panel, and a bold NZXT deck graphic that could be removable on the final production model. The host notes the case is sized for ITX form factors, speculating about internal layout, potential 140 mm front fans, 120 mm rear exhaust, and top mounting holes, while acknowledging that everything shown is subject to change before the official reveal on January 26. Removable elements like a bottom PSU filter and a compact I/O cluster with two USB 3.0 ports, audio jacks, and a power button are highlighted, along with a possible lighting controller that may connect to a small onboard circuit board. The discussion also covers cooling goals, the absence of optical drive bays, and the possibility of a matte white version that could broaden its appeal for a clean, modern pc aesthetic, all framed within NZXT’s design language and CES showcase strategy.
