NZXT has always sought to make cases that provide maximum affordability for maximum functionality. With the dawn of their latest Tempest line, NZXT takes the first step in doing so despite a few deterrents that keep it from being anything more than great in its line of work.
Motherboard Support: E-ATX, ATX, MICRO-ATX, BABY AT.
HELLS YES! I’ve been waiting one that supports BABY AT. Very few do this day and age.
I love that there are grommets. Should make it easier than to carve out stuff.
“Buying a case might not seem like a big deal at first. But, as all of our readers know, it’s personal.”
Word to that.
NZXT’s 100$ case looks amazing from this review. I actually have an Antec Gaming case about the same one and I kind of feel a tad ripped off at reading this. Why couldn’t they have came out with it sooner?
Just Purchased one from newegg cause of this!
Seems fair enough. I might actually buy it after reading this. Ceebz, hit me up sometimes when you get it. I know you’re good at the architecture stuff. I need to know if I can mallet it for my in-line grommel
In-line..ouch. Seems like that would take some hole threads 1/2″
Nah. I have a good drill cap.
He was talking to me! But hey, if you can send a drill cap to me…that would work *smile*
Splendid review. A pleasure to read, and I just bought mine because I really felt the vibe on this one.
just read this. Might take the plunge on this one. Sounds AMAZING to me.
Buying it as we speak!
Cool guys. Glad you enjoyed it and went out and bought like…4. 5? Whatever.
I didn’t buy one! :-p. I might thoug….
I already have one of these actually. Everything is as it is in the review. I love it and am glad I have it. Come on guys, you know I’m the smartest here. Buy this thing!
SILVER CHOICE AWARD. THAT’S A VERY good thing. Not many get silver
