Conclusion

The Friendly Giant

Since its inception, NZXT has made a reputation for offering bang-for-buck enthusiast-grade casings and the Switch 810 Special Edition follows in this tradition.

On a whole, the Switch 810 Special Edition is a competent casing packed with loads of features and tons of space. The casing can accommodate motherboards of all form factors from mini-ITX right up to the larger E-ATX and XL-ATX, which means you won’t have to worry about changing your casing in future if you should feel the need to upgrade to even more serious gear. Its numerous cutouts in the motherboard tray area and the ability to adapt to liquid-cooling setups also offers users more flexibility and options.

The Switch 810 is an excellent casing for enthusiasts who need a full tower casing to accommodate their gear.

What’s more, at S$299 the Switch 810 Special Edition is also competitively priced, considering most full tower casings from more established names such as Antec and Cooler Master go for significantly more. Speaking of which, the Special Edition Switch 810 also comes in gunmetal color, and that also goes for S$299. The regular Switch 810 casings, on the other hand, go for about S$288. The regular Switch 810 casings are the ones we would opt for since the matte black finish doesn’t really add anything to the casing, unless you personally prefer its appearance (which in our observation doesn't differ much).

In closing, the Switch 810 is an interesting and feature-packed full tower casing that is surprisingly simple on the outlook, but offers tons of flexibility and should serve enthusiasts well.
