whats everyone thoughts on this case i have 1 but i dont think the quality of the case is that good but it is a nice looking case

 

[EdGey]

looks terrible

 

[Typhoon]

Looks rather dated IMHO, enough to put me off even if the quality was good.

Its a bit dated now, cooling and case design has moved on a fair bit now.

I find most cases that are designed like that to be a bit gimmicky. All curved lines and flashy lights isn't really my cup of tea.

 

[GinG]

I have one, hate it with a passion now.

Build quality is not bad, looks crap now, not much space inside, cooling is questionable.

 

[Vir]

I think it looks terrible.

I have the original NZXT Lexa Silver Aluminium for the past 3 years now and to be honest I still like mine.

Sure, there is no cable management, the cooling fan placements is really dated by today's standards, the insides may not have a lot of room, the back panel may be annoying (Screws?!?!? BAH!!), and the general curved symmetrical design may be off-putting for some, but it still fits my own personal needs and I'm happy with it.

The bag strap and the design of the case goes well together for transporting (Pretty much it's only decent advantage), and unlike the Blackline version which is steel, my case is still extremely light with heavy components inside.

Even then, I actually have no problem with cooling as my temperatures are low, but the current trend of PSU at the bottom, and a 120-200mm fan at the top above the CPU area for many cases these days is more appealing.

If NZXT decides to produce a better update to this case, then maybe it could be tempting.

yeah i agree the case is fine im just bored of it and it is out dated
