NZXT LEXA-NP Black/ Silver Aluminum Construction Plastic Front Panel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case looks great. There are a lot of little things that are nice with the case. For instance, the ergonomics of the case are nice - easy to open, pickup, and open the drive door. The case is very light even when loaded with components. The carry strap quality is very good. It includes protectors so the plastics parts do not touch or scratch the case. The fans are super quiet. Plenty of cooling for HDDs and other components. It is easy to read the tempature display which shows 3 tempatures (CPU, HDD, SYS (SYS is whatever you want)).

Cons: As some other reviewers pointed out, the case material is fragile. Since the case came with a carry strap and is meant for transport, the case material should have been designed a little sturdier so it can be transported safer when in a car. The wiring for the lights and connectors could have been an inch longer. The reset switch wire barely reaches the pins on my MoBo; but it does reach. The case does not include a speaker as far as I can tell. Maybe the cable fell into the front of the case? I do not see a cut-out for the speaker either. The tempature display is nice, but only monitors tempature in Celcius. Also, the display does not show fan speeds. The clear panel should have included a protective sheet from the manufacturer over it during shipping. Also, it would be nice if the panel fan wire was designed to wrap around the panel so the wire does not dangle and is not exposed. Also, that wire should have a quick-release ability when you want to remove side the panel.

Overall Review: The ads were a little unclear to me, so let me detail some of the things the ads left out. Two of the fans have blue LED's. That's enough light and you won't need additional lighting. There is a quick-release bar that secures all of your PCI cards in rather than having to screw each one in. But, I still installed my cards in just to be safe and did not use the bar (still a neat idea). The carrying case has a large mesh pocket which could be used for CD's, manuals, or cheat-sheets. There are four included fans. A lighted 120 mm on the back, lighted 120 mm on the clear side, 80mm fans in the front and top. You can install an additional 80mm fan on the bottom. If I had a bottom fan, I personally would re-install the top fan upside-down to push hot air out of the case. The case aborbs all of the sound of my components - it's so quiet it's hard to tell if the computer is on if you don't look at the lights.

Pros: Looks like the Mustang Convertable of all cases. Had alot of work room inside and seemed as though it would run very cool with all the air vents.

Cons: Ok here we are at the real story. Opened the box which was in perfect shape... Took the form foam off and wow the front pannel fell off. Then to make matters worse we found out the easy open side pannel was alot easier if you removed the same screws you have to remove on most cases... This case is designed without an ounce of quality please stay away.

Overall Review: Newegg was a dream to work with on the RMA... within 5 minits was got our claim and are sending off for our refund... and they threw a bit of store credit in too.
