[THE OFFICIAL] NZXT VULCAN OWNERS CLUB

Pros -
* Justified price / quality ratio
* Small and compact with carrying handle
* Can still hold full size GPUs - perfect for a small LAN party rig
* Two fans included
* Water cooling ready
* Fan controller included
* Switch to toggle lighting elements on/off
* Interior black paint job
* Great cable management possibilites
* Rail system for hard drives

Cons -
* Very restrictive on terms of CPU cooler
* Thin metal makes for a somewhat fragile & easily bendable case
* Thin paint job cannot take even the slightest amount of abuse
* Mesh side scratches paint & is easily bendable out of shape
* Somewhat inadequate packaging

* these aren't my words * But I have to disagree on the first one " Very restrictive on terms of CPU cooler" I got my Xigmatek Dark Knight to fit just fine but it is really close to hitting the side panel

I hadn't seen anyone do a Vulcan owners club so I thought I would start one. It's not official though.

So yeah basically just post up a pic of your Vulcan rig.

The first one is the code for every one to get it from, and I added the link which I forgot the first time.

Don't know if this should be in the case forum or this one. . .

Anyway, I really like this case alot, it really makes me want a mATX motherboard now. . .

Haha thanks and yeah I love it. It can basically fit a full size system on a MATX mobo. I've seen crossfire 5970's in these things and full size power supplys.
