Need comments on NZXT case please

[h2o-]

Any comment on NZXT case would be helpful... especially to the tower cases. NZXT is kind of new in case manufacture business and I checked out some of them @ stores, looked cool and elegant but not sure if it's really practical and good in design when comes down to real application.

Thanks in advance

Which case model? I have NZXT Lexa Blackline came with 4fans (3 120mm and 1 80mm) Fans are quiet.

NZXT has good feedback so I went with NZXT.

Nothing in particular as I've decided what to get. I go for those without front door, as I have front panel/card reader/ and fan speed controllers are on the way and I can't use case with front door.

NZXT's cases look cool but they feel like flimsy pieces of crap. I was looking at some at tiger direct yesterday and I was surprised just how cheap they felt considering their price

Antec always. They have the best service. They've mailed me entire doors for ones that have come dented and missing parts without asking for receipt after I asked them what their policy was.

What are you looking for?

Thanls rei. I am looking for a low-budget (< $100) mid tower case to replace my 4U rack mount.

does antec have any nice full tower cases?

Just as long as your definition of "nice" isn't the eye-poking gaudiness of Thermaltake's Xaser or their tendency to rip-off other manufacturer's designs, often badly.

High-end tower with supreme cooling: P190, P182 in black or mirror finish
Smaller (but still large) version for mATX cases: Mini P180 in black or white
Cheaper budget tower cases: Antec Nine Hundred and Three Hundred
Quiet ATX mini tower with 500W PSU: Sonata III
The Solution series, in black/silver or all black: NSK4480B, 3480 etc
Mid-tower with emphasis on quieting: SOLO, 550 PLUS
They have a few HTPC too

I <3 Antec.

not 1 case you posted is a full tower case
those are all mid tower at the largest

Viper98: Are you kidding? P182 and P190 aren't 'full-tower'? What definition are you operating by? You may be better suited with a Cooler Master Cosmos or Stacker.

h2o-: Have a look at antec.com. Not sure what your form factor (if you'd like something desktop-HTPC-horizontal to continue your 4U rackmount tradition) or if you're looking to change to a micro-mini-mid-tower.

I'm using the definition of proper terminology
those cases are mid tower cases



mid tower(ie p182/p190) - full tower(in this picture thermaltake shark)

[Amourek]

mid tower(ie p182/p190) - full tower(in this picture thermaltake shark)

Um the P182 and P190 are 21" and 23" tall respectively. The Shark is 21".

[rei]

Pwned. "Proper" terminology indeed. As if on cue, the eye-bleach-needing nastiness of the Thermaltake makes its appearance!

[Viper98]

so why does antec call them mid tower cases then?

are they just ****ing stupid or something?
