NZXT LEXA S LEXS - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Look Great
Easy to set up
Can easily hide wire
Really light
Many fans, easy to had more.
Lot of space

Cons: Less light than my old NZXT Nemesis one.

Other Thoughts: Come with a 2.5" to 3.5" case that can carry two drives, was really useful for the two SSD I bought, that came with none.

Pros: Very good case for the cost. Air-flow appears to be quite well in this mid-tower case as well. No problems with included fans' cords reaching the various places on MoBo to hook up.

Cons: Only 1 con I can think of, and that's it's lower power supply mounting. It causes issues when you have a liquid cooling system, because of clearence between top fan and rear fan with board. I had to mount my liquid cooling systems radiator fan on the outside of the case, but hasn't appeared to cause any cooling issues thus far..

Other Thoughts: Ordered quite a few parts together.. Will be placing this "other thoughts" in ALL of my reviews of the parts I placed...

---------------------
All parts came as intended, and seemed to work well together. Only problem I've had, has been 2 random crashes while watching YouTube videos. Screen goes black, sound continues for a few seconds, then cuts out and PC freezes. As it's only been twice, and while watching YouTube videos, but not while playing any games, I'm thinking it may be freak accident. Will redo review should I find out anything more..

Final Thoughts - Buy this case if you don't mind a slight work around here and there.

Pros: this case not only looks amazing it is well built and sturdy yet very light! the physical external size of it is slightly smaller than my old mid case but interally it somehow has acres more of room!! im running a full atx board with dual 650ti boosts and the stats of the case say 10.5 inches of video card clearance and my cards are 10.25 inces long so i was worried but when installed i have almost 4 inches of space extra so that measurement was definitely wrong on the case.

Cons: this is my first case with a separate back panel for wire routing so i might just be a noob at wire routing but i just wish there was even a mm more of space between the panel! my main board power cable is about one wire too thick and makes it hard to put the back panel back on. i could live with a 1mm thicker case for that ease lol. not enough of a problem to take an egg off since its probably just my fault

Other Thoughts: love it. if you want a cool looking case with good airflow that isnt heavy or giant get this!

Pros: Cheap price, very good ventilation, & sleek "alienistic" design :)
Overall it is very good for a mid range gaming PC like mine.

Cons: Bad cable management, headphone jack broke after few days of usage (my headphones jack used to stick in the hole & I was striving to get it out), & the two fan speed control knobs are really useless, especially I'm controlling the speeds with my mainboard's software.

Manufacturer Response:

I just wanted to thank you for being a customer of NZXT.

I also wanted to apologize about the issue with the headphone jack. We appreciate your feedback. Feel free to contact us at http://www.nzxt.com/support/ and open a ticket we would like to help you out! we are looking forward from hearing from you.

Best Regards,
NZXT Support

Pros: Easy drop in bays for HD's. Sleek look. And come preloaded with 4 fans

Cons: When i first booted the computer up all the LED's worked fine. However after about 15 minutes the bottom right LED strip was shuttering, and then 5 minutes later it it went out and stayed out.

Other Thoughts: I checked all my connections, and there are no loose or disconnected wires. And unfortunately if i wish to have this Ascetic flaw fixed. I have to spend them time to take all my computer components out, and then wait until the case arrives, and then load it all back in.

Pros: The good thing is, this case has moderate-high space on the inside. Has convienent drop in bays for your 3.5in drives, and also it comes pre-loaded with 4 fans; including fan controller.

Cons: When i first booted the computer all the led's came on, on the front of the case. However after about 20 minutes the bottom right led strip was flickering, and then gave out and stayed out 5 minutes later

Other Thoughts: I have read the other reviews on the case, and i have seen that this is a common problem if not the only one. I have also noted that NZXT has offered them cost free repair, however i spent 4 and a half hours putting the computer into the case, and now if i wish to send it in for this major ascetic flaw. I have to remove all hardware, AND THEN replace it all when i receive the case. (something I had not thought of when I purchased the case worry free)

Pros: I used this case to build my girlfriend a gaming rig 3 years ago.

-The front and side fans are still going.
-All the LED's still work.
-The case accomodates liquid and air cooling evenly.
-It fits an HIS 6950 so fitting a GPU wasn't an issue.
-Now air-cooled, the case still keeps everything at a normal temperature.
-Easy to clean and assemble.
-Pictures don't do justice. This is a sexy case in person.

Cons: None. NZXT's older cases demonstrate their quality to this day.

Pros: this case holds. five HD. two DVD writers. one SSD video card. fully packed and still got room. love this case

Cons: 100%

Pros: Very nice case with nice blue lights. cable management ports or helpful. smoke side is nice. bottom power supply mount is a must.

Cons: when i opened the case one of the holders for the side fan was missing. not really a big deal but when you spend the money on a case like this you expect everything to be there. the side panel is hard to put back on i believe its bent a little bit. i would RMA it but i really just wanted to get my computer put together. i dont really know if ill order another nxzt case again just bc of this issue.

Pros: In my opinion i like the look of this case. the large window on the side and the fans. I do like the door that opens in the front to hide the power and reset buttons, makes things look a little bit cleaner that way. I like the airflow through this case as well.

Cons: Have a lot of cables and wires running through this case? I found it quite hard to manage them neatly in the case. Also since ive gotten the case, i thought the wires were really thin and very cheaply made. after some time a few wires came out or apart from the molex connectors, and now the bottom led's on the front do not work. Doesn't bother me too much as i've had this case for nearly 2 years and it's bound to happen.

Other Thoughts: This is the first case i ever bought/ first computer i built so i do not have any experience with cases prior to the NZXT LEXA S. I am not disappointed with this purchase. this will definitely do the job.
