So cases is a great way to show off, to keep that grand prize of silicone glory out of harm’s way and also in the most basic terms go to the start button and successful go to the right destination which is turning it on. So with the NXZT tempest is someway fill this little gap with the other thousand made in china cases and imitations.
But this case is also in the case design imitations with by just seeing the case itself and having a quick think about it; it just looked like the previous Antec 900 design with the front grill nine 5.2in optical bays and also the inclusion of an uneven area on top of the case. Well we didn’t see anything stopping from being distributed, so we see to my curiosity what so difference with this is. The Tempest first of all to contrast between the 900 is the support of a full ATX and extended ATX form factor plus in the physical form of the case is a fixed eight 3.2in drive bay located in the bottom that are facing the board can be annoying replacing or hot-swapping which is called the HDD or a convert a SSD drive and also with more fans located in the top of the case with standard 120mm two of them stuck in the top and one in the back of the case for exhaust as the same as the top one with the other two LED fans are in the bottom with the drive bays to make it look good in a dark rooms or to have a great combination of LED lights in the keyboards and mouse for a light show in the dark. With the light and glory comes with the list of bad points as you dig deeper in the case is the expansion slots are screwed on but if you have a space thumb screws to replace the ones re-installed in these ones plus the cable management is kind of limited with this case even more without a modular set in your PSU. So installing it is going to be hard with a full set of dual graphics and also three of even four HDD’s. Motherboard is no biggy with this case but with water-cooling will be limited to proof just three 5.2in optical bays.
Air cooling performance is impressive in all boards in load and idle tests one with active going 49 degrees up most and passive working hard at 54 degrees. But noise issues is going to be a consideration with this so with a combination of a better air flow in the front of the case and lower rpm count limit the problem of noise. So with recommendations of the case is in a conditional yes with lower rpm but for over-clocker and water-cooling freaks, this is not for you.
