A simple unheard of company called NZXT was anxious for our review, and needless to say the case was actually fairly decent but needed a little bit of improvement. It was a great internal design, but it had a love-it or hate-it look that in my opinion was a little controversial. We took the case along as a prize at Boise Frag Fest IV, and it won a lot of people over. I suppose it really depends on the person as far as what an overall representation would be, but we had no idea that NZXT was on to something. The Guardian case was a debut hit for NZXT, and they have come back to give us the Nemesis, which from what I can tell is a huge improvement in overall design. NZXT has come from a budget case to a mid-level price range with the Nemesis, but is it really worth your money? Lets find out, because I was surprised to see that there are people that take heed to us overclockers when it comes to proper case cooling... | |  | |  | | Nikao Hero Mid-Tower Gaming Case Review @ MODTHEBOX.COM I-STAR D-400L 4U Rack Mount Server Chassis @ Club Overclocker  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | It's not that often, but every now and then we get the pleasure of working with some exceptional server products. Thanks to I-STAR, this is one of those times. Today I have one of the nicest rack mount server chassis I've ever seen, the D-400L. This massive 19" x 27.1" chassis isn't your ordinary slide in box with the bare minimum. Let's take a look at the D-400L and you'll soon see what I mean. | |  | |  | | Sunbeam Samurai Case Review @ XYZ Computing  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | "So black is the new beige and the case mod look is in full bloom after years of ripening. Sunbeam is right up with the best of them with its Samurai case, available in red, silver, and black plastic housing. This is a barebones ATX case with no bundled power supply. However, it does sport a few practical features that are enticing. Firstly, there is an 80mm fan mounted out back, a side-panel vent, as well as front-mounted USB ports, a mic in, and a headphone jack. Five 5.25-inch bays (plus a 3.5-inch) are no joke, and the overall case design is certainly spacious enough to be expansion-worthy without having a tremendous footprint" | |  | |  | | Lian-Li PC-V1000 Case @ Viper Lair  | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | | | Overall, many of the V1000's issues are workable, and if the aesthetics are to your liking, you'll probably be very happy with the case. Personally, we think Lian-Li needs to rework some of the design details and improve the cooling performance before we give this case a recommendation. | |  | |  | | SilverStone Lascala 10M Home Theater (HTPC) Case Review @ EOC!
