I will start by saying I was underwhelmed when I first saw the NZXT Switch 810 Hybrid Tower case. It just didn’t seem like it was all that new or different from other cases. As I have taken a second, third, and now fourth look at this case I just find more and more I like about it.

The NZXT Switch 810 is their answer to those who need the most space for their system. This Hybrid Full Tower is large enough handle a full triple rad with push/pull fans, second liquid cooling loop on the bottom, up to 15 inch GPUs, a maximum of 7 HDDs (via two HDD cages), 9 expansion slots, and up to a EATX motherboard. While those are great there are some unique features that set this case apart.

As you can see the rear I/O panel and expansion slots have two LED lights built into the case. These lights are controlled by a push button on the front I/O panel to give you a quick light source to swap to your 5.1 headphones, connect a new USB device, or remove your peripherals to work on your system.

The second thing is an innovative approach to the fans within the case. There have been cases with fans behind the HDD racks/cages to improve airflow, but these fans can be tilted upwards to direct that airflow as needed. This was first seen on the NZXT Phanom 410 and makes its way to the Switch 810 as well.

There are a ton of other features including a multi-card reader, up to ten 140 mm/120mm fans, and a top vent you can close.

The NZXT Switch 810 is like a vortex of awesome that just keeps drawing me in. I am still a little vague about my attraction since it doesn’t really target me (I don’t liquid cool), but I can’t deny the attraction. At the MSRP of $169.99 I think this would be a great Full Tower case for those with liquid cooling, but still great for those that don’t.
