NZXT

NZXT is an American PC gaming hardware and software company founded in 2004. Its business spans computer components, complete gaming systems and software that connects its hardware ecosystem. Headquartered in Monrovia, California, the company serves individual PC builders, gamers, streamers and commercial customers through retail distribution and direct sales.

The company began with gaming-oriented computer cases, including the Guardian, Phantom and Nemesis lines. Its subsequent products developed a cleaner, minimalist design approach across desktop enclosures and complementary components. The current range includes H-Series cases, S-Series enclosures, Kraken and Kraken Elite all-in-one CPU liquid coolers, case fans, synchronized RGB lighting, ATX power supplies, and motherboards for Intel and AMD platforms. Programmable LCD displays feature on its Kraken cooling products, while NZXT CAM provides a software interface for system monitoring and hardware customization.

Complete PCs and customer services

Alongside individual components, NZXT offers ready-to-ship Player PC systems and the BLD custom assembly service. BLD allows customers to configure gaming computers around performance requirements, including frame-rate benchmarks. These services extend the company's component business into assembled systems for customers seeking a complete gaming PC.

NZXT Flex offers gaming PCs through a monthly hardware rental model with warranty coverage. The company's support services also include technical diagnostics, returns and component replacement.

Through NZXT for Business, the company supplies gaming PCs, workstations and custom laboratory configurations to commercial game studios, schools, universities and esports venues. Its customer base consequently extends beyond home gaming into educational facilities, content creation and organized competitive gaming.

Growth and collaborations

NZXT combines its own product development with contract manufacturing and an international distribution network. In December 2021, it completed a strategic investment round exceeding $100 million led by Francisco Partners, supporting product expansion and international logistics.

Its limited-edition CRFT products have included collaborations associated with Bethesda, Blizzard Entertainment and Krafton properties. Esports and creator partnerships have also formed part of its commercial activity, alongside its broader component, prebuilt-system and custom-PC businesses.
