Operation
Everything was butter smooth once I hit the Apollo’s power switch. The two fans, while not completely silent, won’t distract you or bother your ears and there were a few times where there was so little ambient fan noise I could hear short bursts of movement in my hard drive. The Apollo features blue LEDs that highlight the front exhaust grill and light up the power light and side GPU fan, adding to the case’s high tech looks (and casting a cool blue glow inside the case) without overdoing the effect; you won’t feel like you’ve just turned your computer into a slot machine with this case.

Conclusions
Overall, unless you need to have a full-size tower, can’t live without an aluminum frame or you really hate LEDs, I can’t think of any reason why you wouldn’t want to make the NZXT Apollo your next case purchase. It’s durable, attractive, easy to work with, has plenty of space inside when compared to the standard mid-tower and should provide you with years of housing for the current version of your gaming PC.
