Jonny Hou, NZXT’s founder and CEO, emphasized who the audience is for this new N7 motherboard:
The NZXT N7 has always been about giving builders what they need. By providing a motherboard with a simple layout, packed with the latest wireless technology, and a metal cover, it gives users the ability to create a powerful machine for gaming.
For NZXT, aesthetics are always important, as seen in the impressive H1 review. To help keep the motherboard looking clean, a black or white metal cover completes the look.
The NZXT N7 Z490 is available now, in both black and white colors, for an MSRP of $229.99. You can find out more information, as well as recommended retailers, here.
