NZXT Nemesis Elite CS-NT-NEM-EL-B Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Nemesis case is a great case, I have four of them (My two and one each for my kids) Although I do not use the top display feature (I have my towers under desk) it is a handy feature to keep an eye on your system.

There is plenty of room for all my stuff and the 'screw-less' design is very simple to use and holds well.

The only CON I have - I drilled out the 'holders' for the side window fan as it is difficult to get clean and replaced with fan screws for easier removal and cleaning.

K9N SLI Platinum ATX, AMD Athlon x2 6000+ with the massive "Blue Orb" cooling fan, 8 gigs (4x2gig) OCZ Platinum 800MHz, 2 - GeForce 9800 GT SLI, 2 - Lite-On DVD/RW drives, 4 - Western Digital SATA Hard drives (250gig, 500gig, 750gig, 1Tb)

Cooler-Master Haf X: Ultimate Full Size Gaming Chassis Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am putting together a machine with the MSI Big Bang XPower MoBo with an i7 930 CPU, and will have a GTX 470 GPU, with 7 HDD's in various raid configs and a Corsair HX850 PSU.This case is so well thought out. So far no negatives except it is very big, which is actually good, as long as you understand this before you buy.

Cable mgmt is excellent, USB 3.0 on the front as well as Esata and 1394 and USB 2.0, covered on/off switch (reset too).

Wheels are included. Air filters on all openings - except for some reason not on the bottom in front of the PSU. All tool-less drive bays, 2 hot swap drive bays in front (amazingly these are not tool-less..wtf were they thinking?).

It includes 3, 200 mm fans (top - out, front - in, side - in, and one 120 mm on the rear out.It also has a place for a second (optional) 200 mm fan on the top.

So far it has been a pleasure to work with.I will update this as the build progresses.

update - the only thing marginal are the hot swap drawers. they require screws to hold the drives in (the included thumbscrews work at least) so it not terrible, but it would have been cool to have a method to yank drives in and out with no real effort at all.still 5 stars

Antec P193 Advanced Super Mid Tower Shell Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My number one criterion in a case is that it's very quiet, and this one fits the bill. That huge fan on the side draws lots of air, but it's almost silent. The hard drive mounting system is simple, but very effective at isolating vibration from each drive, eliminating another annoying source of noise. Finally, the double thick walls of the case reduce any residual noises even further. Compared to my old cases, I have to look at the light on this one to know for sure that it's on.
The case is large and heavy. I put it on a stand next to a desk, not on the desk. It's a pain in the back to move, but it's a price I'm very willing to pay for all the advantages of this case.
There is ample room to work.The motherboard, drives, and power supply all feel like they have their own separate neighborhoods. Nothing gets in the way of anything else. The power supply mounts on the bottom, so make sure you use a power supply with long cables. I use a Corsair with detachable cables. The CPU cables are long enough to route outside the main compartment of the case through a hole for that purpose, and back through a couple of very thoughtfully placed holes near the areas on the motherboard they plug into. That makes for a very clean looking install. There is enough room for those thick cables between the case and the back cover. I route the fan power supply wires back there too so they don't get in the way. There are even tie-down straps back there to keep all the cables in place.
The finish is very good on this case. Everything fits well and feels solid. There is nothing flimsy here.
I hate bloodying my fingers on sharp edges. I haven't found any on this case. All of the openings and edges that I've encountered are nicely rounded, keeping cables and my fingers in good shape.
I've seen better mounting systems for removable media drives. These have tabs on each side on the front, so it doesn't look the most finished, but they do work well, are quick to disconnect, and are hidden most of the time behind the front door, so I can't complain much.
I like a variety of drives; CD/DVD, floppy, card reader, and lots of drives for RAID. But I haven't yet filled all the bays of one of these cases.
I use Zalman 120mm 2 ball coolers, which stand quite tall above the motherboard, but there is still plenty of clearance in this case.
I like this case so much, I own three now. I just completed two builds, and I've got one in reserve, just in case it's discontinued. I've got a pile of other cases I've used in the past. All have memorable shortcomings causing many frustrations. I have no significant complaints about this case.

Antec Three Hundred Gaming Case External 3 X 5.25; Internal 6 X 3.5 2*Usb2.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased the Antec Three Hundred computer case through Amazon to build a new home computer which would be used for everyday computing as well as gaming.

I've used Antec cases before, so was familiar with their very good build quality and features. The Three Hundred is a good compromise between a full-tower gamer's case like the Antec 1200 and the typical case designed solely for home or business computers. It is a mid-tower case, so it doesn't seem huge sitting on or next to our home desk, but it has ample room inside to take a full ATX gamer's motherboard and easily fits two large gaming video cards in "SLI" or "Crossfire" configuration without interference with other internal components.

Interenal hard drive bays are accessed from the front of the case, which makes it easy to service, install or swap drives without disturbing other internal components (although you do have to remove the left side cover to access the latches that allow removal of the front bezel, but this is much easier than it sounds). There are no sharp edges inside the case; all edges are rolled, and the build is sturdy for a case in this price range. Antec supplied an adequate number of case and drive screws and motherboard stand-offs.

Other features:
- This case puts the power supply (not included) at the bottom, which makes the case more stable, but you may need a PS with long cables. I used an Antec TruPower Trio (also purchased through Amazon), which worked out fine. Excess cables can be tucked inside a built-in cable compartment alongside the internal drive bays, which has its own cable ties, for neatness and better cooling.
- Antec supplies 2 large 3-speed fans with this case, one 120 mm blowing out the back and a 140 mm blowing out the top. It has provisions to add 3 additional fans, one on the side to provide additional cooling to the video cards, and 2 behind the front bezel, directly in front of the hard-drive bays. I closed-off the opening in the side panel, but added a 120 mm fan (with blue lighting!) blowing in from the front. So far this cooling arrangement seems adequate to my needs, but I can still add 2 more fans if I need to.
- The front bezel is plastic, but removes and installs easily, and contains a washable, removable filter covering the area in front of the hard-drive bays.

Cons:
- The Three Hundred provides front access ports for headphone, microphone, and two USB 2.0 connections, but no IEEE 1394 or e-SATA ports.
- There are 3 external 5.25-inch drive bays, but no 3.5-inch external bays. If you need to add a floppy drive, card reader, or other external 3.5-inch component, you'll need to find and purchase a 5.25-3.5 bay adapter (I did).
- No case speaker is included.

Summary: This is a very nice case for the price. Fit and finish are very good, and features are adequate for home/business or gaming. Not too large, but not too compact, either. Recommended.
