MSI Nightblade Z97 mini-ITX Nightblade series

MSI completes its popular Nightblade mini-ITX Gaming barebone series with the MSI Nightblade Z97. As the name suggest, the Nightblade Z97 implements the latest MSI Z97I GAMING motherboard. This means that the Nightblade Z97 comes with Audio Boost 2, providing the latest technology in high-quality audio for gamers.

 Next to that, the front I/O panel of the MSI Nightblade Z97 has all plenty of options to connect a gaming headset, mouse and keyboard, while featuring MSI’s easy overclocking button OC Genie as well. Despite its mini-ITX form factor, the Nightblade Z97 delivers a powerful gaming performance and thanks to its compact size, brushed aluminum finish on the front and awesomely presented Dragon on the side of the case, gamers won't have to hide their PC beneath their desk anymore. A useful handle situated at the bottom-front of the Nightblade's mini-ITX case can be used to pick up and carry this lightweight gaming beast around from one gaming event to the next.

Despite its Mini-ITX form factor, the small sized Nightblade provides enough space for a full-size two slot-in graphics card via a PCI-E 3.0x16 slot. Graphics cards up to a length of 290mm and a thickness of 35mm, making the Nightblade a vicious tool for gamers craving for amazing in-game images while exploring virtual worlds and battlefields.

The Nightblade Z97 is equipped with a MSI GAMING motherboard, designed for casual and professional gamers. It features three crucial gaming factors, speed, sound and stability. To practice these features, MSI Nightblade Z97 comes with “Killer Game Networking” for the best network speed. “Sound Blaster 2” supports an excellent sound quality and the ‘Military Class Components” represent a high stability.

With the MSI Z97I GAMING motherboard smartly placed inside the MSI Nightblade, and a PSU powerful enough to supply each component with sufficient power, the expansion options of the MSI Nightblade are almost endless. Whether a new ATX-sized graphics card or two SSDs need to be assembled, a system integrator or consumer can easily do it independently by opening the left side panel of the case. Add or remove an Optical Drive, upgrade the memory or CPU, it’s all in your own hands.
