This review is from: NZXT Source 210 Elite Black Steel with painted interior ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ Black Front Trim
Pros:
Solid. They painted the inside. Fairly roomy.
Cons:
So I presume I was supposed to receive an accessory box with this case? (screws, motherboard stand-offs, etc) I didn't get one and this isn't the 1st time NZXT has messed up the little things. It will most likely be my last time as there are plenty of other options. I had to hunt down an old case in my garage to steal motherboard stand-offs from so I could even use this case. What fun, thanks for that.
The labeled 2.5 HDD spot at bottom is completely worthless as it's orientated wrong.
All the front panels have a funny look to them like the finishing process didn't come out quite right. The sheen has a dead spot in all the same areas and really makes this case look cheap.
No filters (I knew this but it's still a con for any case without them)
Limited options for front fan sizes.
Overall Review:
This is probably about build 40 for me (past 10 years). 4th NZXT case. Looking like the last.
SSD Tip: I was able to vertically mount the 2.5 SSD on the rear of the HDD cage (faces back panel), plugs facing down, two screws holding the top from within the HDD cage, top row. They line up just close enough and it mounts at a slightly misaligned angle but solid.
