Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

NZXT M59 is a mid-tower case targeted to the user that wants an inexpensive good-quality mid-tower. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.



Strong Points

  • Meshed bay covers.
  • Meshed slot covers.
  • Dust filters on the front panel.
  • Dust filter on the bottom panel.
  • Rear panel and interior are painted black.
  • Hole in the motherboard tray for accessing the backplate of the CPU cooler.
  • Holes for routing cables on the motherboard tray.
  • eSATA port.
  • Very light.
  • No sharp edges where you could cut yourself while building your PC.
  • Impressive number of hard disk drive bays (seven) that will please even the most demanding user.
  • Screwless mechanisms for fastening the disk drives.
  • Supports two 2.5” drives.
  • Outstanding cost/benefit ratio.

Weak Points

  • No external 3 ½” bay (who uses floppies anyway?).
  • Could have come with thumbscrews for fastening daughter boards.
  • No noise absorbing mechanisms for the hard disk drives.
  • The two USB ports are too close to each other, preventing you from installing two "fat" USB devices at the same time.

In summary, we think this is a terrific product for the user that is on a budget and is looking for a good product. Costing only USD 60 (USD 50 after a USD 10 mail-in rebate) this case is a no-brainer.
