In 2008 NZXT released the original Tempest case, at the time it was considered one of the finest ventilated cases available in the budget sector. Recently NZXT decided to update the range with the new Tempest 410 and 410 Elite. NZXT has...

The NZXT Tempest 410 Elite certainly holds up to the Tempest name. It has all of the tool-free installations you can think of, a plentitude of airflow options and is just an overall good-looking case. The case runs for $89.99 at my favorite online...

The mid-tower marketplace is fiercely contested and there are better all-rounders available at little extra cost. But if you happen to like the looks, the Tempest 410 Elite is exactly what it set out to be: a mean-looking enclosure with gobs of...

Visually speaking, the NZXT Tempest 410 Elite has a rugged look and feel with its black finish and honeycomb surface. It's certainly not the epitome of sleek minimalism, so you'll need to decide if that suits your preferences or not. The build quality...

Overall the Tempest 410 Elite is a wonderfully thought-out case. Details were spared on things like packaging to be able to add features to the case itself, which is always a good thing in my eyes. The case is well built and sturdy. The tool-less...

While the NZXT Tempest 410 Elite isn't exactly the greatest performer, it does have many things going for it. This case packs a mind numbing amount of features, especially considering its price point. So yeah, you're probably wondering what this case...

Often with sequels there is an air of disappointment. Building on previous success and continuing with a re-design is a bold move. Often those who try fail but NZXT have succeeded with this revamp. The Tempest 410 Elite slots directly in between the...

The last time we checked out an NZXT enclosure, we saw in their H2 a lot of fantastic ideas done in by a single poor design choice. NZXT's engineers are clearly thinking on their feet and the company stays in the enclosure conversation with good...

We'd like to thank NZXT for providing the Tempest 410 Elite for our review today. We've reviewed several NZXT cases in the past and the quality and construction of their products have continiously improved. The Tempest 410 Elite is a great example of...
