In Figure 11, you can see the place for installing the optional top 80 mm fan. As mentioned before, we didn’t like the 80 mm choice and the size of the holes.

NZXT Zero 2 also has a place for installing an optional 80 mm bottom fan. Even though this location has a washable dust filter, which is great to have, the same considerations regarding the top 80 mm are valid here: we think it would make more sense support for a 120 mm fan, not a 80 mm one, and also the holes on the mesh are too small, so it would be better to have bigger holes or just one big hole with an external add-on grill like the rear fans.

In Figure 13, you can see the front 120 mm fan located behind the front panel. See how this case comes with a washable dust filter for this fan. The problem, however, is that you need to remove the front panel and unscrew the dust filter to wash it. NZXT could have used a better system like the one used by Antec on their cases, where you can remove the dust filter even with the case closed by just pulling a handle.
