Do you want your next computer to stand out from the crowd? Tired of beige boxes? Here's an ATX-compatible mid-sized tower that should do the trick. A large view port lets you see the inner workings. An empty slot lets you select the power supply that's right for you. Seven I/O slots and numerous drive bays give you room for expansion. It can hold large cards like the NVIDIA GTX295 and works with NVIDIA SLI and ATI Crossfire cards.
NZXT Tempest boasts two 120mm front intake fans, one 120mm rear exhaust fans as well as two 140mm top exhaust fans for supreme airflow. Two USB 2.0 ports, two audio front ports and one e-SATA port on the top make connections easy to reach. Screwless installation makes for faster installations and faster component swaps, and no tiny screws to get hopelessly lost.
Stylish without being gaudy; could this be your next computer case? Look it over and see for yourself.

Excellent case!
- Pros: Well, lets start with the cooling system. If you put me in a quiet padded room with this thing, blind folded me and turned on all of the fans (4x120's/2-140's) I would probably tell you it had 2 80mm fans. Cant believe how quiet it is. As for the amount of space and functional room, I have never seen anything like it in a mid-sized case. I am trying to find more components so I can fill it up! Rolled edges, quick clips where they are needed not where they break, and the added features make water cooling a breeze! A+++
- Cons: When I installed the ABS Tegan PS, I though all the fans were broken, I just couldn't hear them. I was also hoping with all the fans the case might levitate but it does not, what a disappointment.
- Other Thoughts: I would definitely recommend this case to anyone who is thinking about upgrading to a full-sized case either for room or cooling but doesn't want to take up all that space.
Easily see this being the nex Antec 900
- Pros: amazing airflow....great wire management and an overall great product..resembles the antec 900 and costs less
- Cons: does not make my breakfast for me...keeps me up late at night =[
- Other Thoughts: this is an overall great case

Close but no cigar!
- Pros: Cooling! Quiet! Spacious! Top mounted controls and ports!
- Cons: Poor quality switches. Fans are already starting to make ware noise. Heavy! Thumb screws for doors, how outdated.
Drive rails don't click in to keep drive in place.
- Other Thoughts: I wanted a large case to build a hot gaming system and this case fit the bill. When I started to work with it I found switches that pushed through the case. Both reset and power buttons. I had to pull out the case, flip it over and try to fit my big fingers in to fix them. That's when the drives slid out of their drive bay because their drive rails are plastic! Nice attempt, but not quite there!
great case
- Pros: Awesome case. i have had this for over a year i works great it keeps everything cool. its pretty big for a mid tower plenty of room for wxpansion
- Cons: not all the fans that came with it are led easily fixed though
I like my rather large blue case!
- Pros: Large, easy to set up
- Cons: It took me a minute to figure out how to install my 3.5 inch card reader
- Other Thoughts: This is my first build and this case and my ASUS Crossfire made it a breeze! The case is larger than I thought, but not a big deal, if I wanted a labtop I would have gotten one.
