Page 2: Inside, Conclusion

The interior of the case yields a power supply. This is included with the case. It is an Orion 400 watt power supply. It is enough to handle most systems. For large and powerful system, a better power supply is recommended. There is no removable motherboard tray, that is fine for me. I don't like them.

The optical drive area. NZXT has a great locking mechanism for drives. It is the best screwless lock I've ever encountered. All you need to do is slide the lock to one side and put it in the locked position. The screwless design is amazing.

This is the hard drive area. The same locks apply to this one. Screwless all the way. This is the way to go. The locks are great. There is nothing more to say other than that about them.

This is the back fan area, Two fit in it. One is included when you buy the case. I would not say this is adequate airflow for high heat systems. Another fan for two would be better, you can add them if you want. By themselves, the airflow was fine for my 3GHz system with a 5950 Ultra. The case is also very quiet compared to ones that have a bunch of fans. I could hear the sound of my CPU fan over the case fans. Pretty quiet.

This is the parts that come with the case. It also came with a nice shirt, but I don't know if that's standard or not. You get the basic screws and stuff, manual and all. Let's see how the case looks when powered.

The first thing we have is the lighted fan. It has a nice effect. The case lighting included is minimal, you'll need a cold cathode or something to spruce up the lighting.
<center>
</center>
The front lighting is awesome. It is a sequential LED pattern. If you go to NZXT's site you'll see it in action.
<B>Conclusion</B>:
NZXT's first case is a winner, no doubts about it. You can get this <a href="http://ase.dealtime.com/dt-app/SE/KW-nzxt/FD-0/linkin_id-3002062/NS-1/GS.html">case for around $80</a>. This is an amazing deal considering you get the case, two fans, and a power supply. With all this on their first case design, I can't wait till NZXT next case design. I really recommend this case to all that want a premodded case. Its ease of use and sleek design makes this a recommended buy.
I'd like to thank John from <a href="http://www.nzxt.com">NZXT</a> for sending this case for review.
