Antec NX250 Mid-Tower Case Review

A Closer Look – Interior
The NX250 has a pretty decent looking interior, which is obviously a good thing on a case with a tempered glass side panel. It’s clean-looking, with all the bulky stuff tucked under the PSU shroud or behind the motherboard tray.
There’s a bunch of cable routing holes dotted around the motherboard, so achieving a clean looking build shouldn’t be too difficult.
There’s even a couple more cable routing holes in the PSU shroud so that you can deal with all those pesky SATA and USB headers. The shroud covers the full length of the case but also has a lot of ventilation to it. Should you want to, you can actually mount a pair of 120mm fans on here.
There is room for up to 3 x 120mm fans or 2 x 140mm fans in the front. Of course, that also means a 280mm or 360mm radiator is supported; impressive for such a compact and affordable PC case. The dust filter is full height and magnetic, so it’s easily cleaned. However, most notable, it’s also white. Why? Well, when we fire up the RGB strip that’s hiding behind the front panel, you’ll see.
Behind the motherboard, there’s a modest amount of space for cable routing, but keep in mind, the PSU shroud will help store some excess cables too, assuming your PSU isn’t too large as this case is a little short from the front to the back, so keep that in mind.
There are a few cable tie loops, allowing you to strap down any cables to keep it looking neat and tidy.
You’ll find room to mount an SSD here, you simply screw it directly to the panel.
And there’s another SSD mount just below that.
Of course, there’s also a HDD/SSD cage under the PSU shroud, giving us four drive mounts in total.
