This review is from: NZXT Guardian 921RB 921RB-001-BL Blue LED SECC Steel / ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros:
-This case is easy to build in for the most part.
-It's got plenty of room and great wire management options.
-The case is lighter than others I was used to which is nice if you ever have to move it often.
-Black with blue LED's looks great! I especially like the front "flux capacitor" pattern.
-This case was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. (see other thoughts)
-Toolless installation for the most part speeded up the build significantly. The system used for the drive bays is ingenious.
-Everything worked on the case. With one exception (partially my fault see below.)
Cons:
-PCI slot locks in the back of the case are tricky and are easily broken if you rush into it without figuring out how they work first (like I did.)
-It's not a big deal if you break one of the brackets, you can still use a screw to secure the card, but it does leave a big hole next to the card where the bracket used to be...
-Black interior while aesthetically pleasing does of course make it harder to see in the case while plugging little wires in or hunting for screws.
-The light weight is due to copious amounts of plastic being used in the construction, although it does feel somewhat sturdy.
-Has a space in the back and top of the case for a fourth case fan, but it doesn't come with one. (I had fans I could use but I had no screws that would fit to mount a fan with. I don't know if it would even be necessary?)
Overall Review:
The loss of one egg is due to the slightly high price (I would rather it be around fifty.)
I ordered a cheaper case before this one and it arrived without a hinge in the front door. It was manufactured wrong or something... you get what you pay for though I guess. The case before this one was scratched all down the front and the door hung off because it was only attached at one hinge. Newegg allowed me to send it back and I got this case instead. I'm glad I did pay a little more because this is a good case overall!
