Incredible Case!!!
- Pros: This is an Incredible case! NZXT has outdone themselves for the dedication in a Very Well put together product at a budget price. The inside of the case is a great black color that is hard to find on great cases. There are more than enough slots for hard drives. I personally use 3 and airflow is amazing! The cable management holes are a great thing. I have plenty of room to route my cables to where I want them without them being too short or me having to buy extensions. The power supply footing has rubber footings which reduces the vibrations. The case comes with 2 fans. One is a Blue LED fan and comes on the case window and the other is a non LED and is the exhaust fan. I had no issues whatsoever with putting the mother board, hard drives, and etc. in. I added a front 120mm fan and there are 2 slots at the top for 2 120mm or 140mm fans. I'll touch more on that in the cons. The ambient light over the Optical Drive bays is really cool as well. I could write more but I dont have room.
- Cons: Ok..here are the cons. There are few and minor ones at that. To be completely honest, I was a bit scared about getting a case so cheap, but that was quickly shoved aside when I got the case. Here are the only few and minor gripes I have. They are so minor I didnt want to take Eggs off. Here we go. The first I have is the cable management. The only problem I had with this is the room in the back of the case. Not meant for thick wires and no room for over lapping. The second is with the top 140mm fans I bought. If you buy 2 top 140mm fans, you will need to put them on the outside(top) of the case. Heres the reason. When both fans are in, you CANNOT fit an Optical Drive in the top Bay. If the case was an inch and half longer, it would fit. Bit I simply put the fans up top. Another thing is that when I first tried to put my mobo in with the 2 top 140's in, it wouldnt fit because of my CPU cooler. (Zalman CNPS 9700) Its a BIG CPU cooler so thats my fault. Last con in Other Thoughts.
- Other Thoughts: The only other con I have was my front bezel. The hot glue used to hold the power switch in place behind the front bezel got in the switch housing making it impossible for me to push the button. I need to thank a few guys on the NZXT for helping me out on getting a new bezel without the hassel of going through emails and such. They shall remained unnamed though. But a word to them, AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Thanks Guys. Anyways, they sent me an entire new front bezel even though I only needed 1 small part. One last little thing is the front microphone and headphone jacks are a little flimsy. Nothing I'm too concerned about and honestly, for the price, I'm OK with it. For the price, this case is an amazing NZXT piece of art. I love it so much I cant take any Eggs away. A great Product by a truly amazing company. My next case will be from them. Oh, this case DOES fit 10.5 inch graphics cards, so I will be upgrading to a 275 or 285 soon! GREAT CASE! GREAT COMPANY! BUY THIS CASE! Thnks
A Good Budget Case
- Pros: This is a smart looking case. Very roomy inside. Easy cable management. Quiet. Components went together inside fairly easily. Ambient light over optical drive very cool. One of the best budget cases I've ever had. I gave it 4 eggs and took one away for the following cons below.
- Cons: The motherboard stud holes weren't drilled out very well as I had to use a socket to get the mother board elevated studs tighten down flush. The front fan mounts are small and you can't use the normal screws that come with case fans you'll have to go to the hardware store and get smaller diameter and longer screws. Also the front fan only sits in front of the perpendicular slots but not in front of the parallel slots. The 7 3.5 bays 2 are parallel and 5 perpendicular. I prefer the parallel and my 2 hard drives sit on top of each other restricting airflow. would have been better with 3 so I could have split them for better airflow. The 5 perpendicular slots though is great for storing long unused cables from your power supply.
- Other Thoughts: The front control panel is attached to the front plate so you have to be careful not to pull any wires off when you remove the front plate. Would have been better attached to the case with a slot in the front panel. If NZXT fixed this and the other cons I've listed this case would rival any high price case.

Nice Case
- Pros: very nice case,alot of room & can fit alot of fans in it.It has holes for water cooling but i dont think you will ever need them
- Cons: only the side fan has the blue cold cathode
- Other Thoughts: none
Very impressed.
- Pros: NavySEAL's review is what sold this case for me. He was right in all respects. The case is solid, roomy and airy. There will be no space shortages with this. I was concerned about the fans not working when I first turned the computer on, but it turns out they are just silent. Nothing but the pleasant 'woosh' of air, even when they are running at full speed. The option of running all your cables through the back is absolutely magnificent. It keeps alot of the big cords out of the way so any guests that see it will ooh and aah at seeing the innards of your computer. It really looks like all I have is two or three little cords powering the computer. There are vents all over this case, but they are pretty much hidden from view, and the case is still very solid and the led lights are a nice touch. I had a blast putting my computer together and this case had a hand in that. The price for it is wonderful too! They could easely market this case for twice as much and it would still be worth it.
- Cons: The space you have to run cables through the back of the case is quite limited. You'll have to fiddle with the cords to get them into the trenches. How the hard drive mounts are, you have to place the hard drive in a different direction then some cases, this caused minor problems in getting power cables to all of my drives. The drive mount on the top has rounded corners instead of square. I couldn't get my drive to sit flush with the metal 'place holders' and the face plate for the dvd drive didn't work with mine. Also the place holders cant be placed in the top slot, as they too have square corners. I also had a little trouble getting the mother board lifts to screw in, but then again, they fit tightly when all the way down and that actually makes me feel better. These are all very minor complaints though. A little minor tinkering or ingenuity avoids all of these issues.
- Other Thoughts: This case is a wonderful case all around. Even if all the complaints really irked me, I couldn't take off an egg as the pros far outweigh the cons.
Beatiful case attracts dust
- Pros: case doesn't attract fingerprints on the steel, side is tinted, wires can be run neatly behind board, good ventilation, power supply on bottom
- Cons: side panel attracts TONS of dust (expected), top optical drive bay unusable if fan in the front-most top vent, power supply intake on bottom (lots of dust in filter)
- Other Thoughts: for those who had issues with the motherboard holes being difficult, simply take a screwdriver and spin it in the top of the hole to cut back the paint, as it was seemingly painted after drilling
