Cons

Manual could be more complete.
Adding/swapping HDDs not easily accomplished after initial build.

Sharp edge at the top control panel.
Basically a carbon copy of the Antec 900 with its own twist.
Toolless ODD can be a little loose.
PCI bar may have compatibility issues.
Very loud with all six fans at 100%.
Not exactly quiet.
Hard drive bays must be removed through the front.
Fans are a bit loud.

The Tempest EVO by NZXT had a great opportunity to be a stellar case that would appeal across the spectrum of computer builders. It delivered respectable cooling numbers and has under its window enough room to house some pretty serious hardware. The...

So quieter, more airflow, and a sleeker look. More slots, more expandability for optical drives, HDDs, and water cooling. It’s no wonder this is known as the Enthusiast’s Case. There’s enough room in there to shove a bunch of...
