Customer Review

One has to say that the housing is really good. What exactly does is to see it in countless videos and tests.

However, it's not quite perfect. What, functional, most bothering me the hassle of removing the covers. For this you would have to spend quite a lot of strength and I think if you have done it a few times, the plastic mechanism will wear out relatively quickly. I hope that does not happen, or if then in the warranty period.
Moreover, the decoupling of the hard drives is a total misconstruction. The holes are provided only on one side with rubber washers so there still a metal-to-metal contact is. This leads me distinct rattling noises and vibrations that affect the entire body. However, this is easily remedied with additional rubber washers.

But what is the saddest: The quality.
On my housing chromatic aberrations were in the paint. No Scratch. There were two small patches in which no ink was present, apparently someone or something is come to the fresh paint and has wiped the wet color at these locations.
In addition, two threads in the motherboard plate are machined for the spacers and one is on the verge. These can be still acceptable tighten before the whole is spinning.

The service of Caseking sent me kindly a new cover; was also very fast. The thread I did not mention because I built my computer already so far along that I do not want anything to exchange again and wait, especially on the new disk. I just hope my luck, otherwise I'm going to use longer screws and secure from behind with a mother.

Another little thing would be that the USB3.0 cable must be fitted with a very strong bend. This comes from the fact that the distance between the motherboard and the bottom (plate on the power supply) is just a few millimeters in size (if not only one); and you have to run the cable through a hole directly below. If one were to draw the hole over the entire width, one could use a bent plug and save the strong bend so. As it stands now, there may be on the motherboard problems with the assembly of SSDs even in unfavorable positions of said Anschlüsses since they are mounted directly in front of it.

Because of this not inconsiderable defects and faulty design, I prefer the housing but from all two star. Would it could understand it yet / cope cheaper. For 110 I but already expecting a slightly better quality and free from defects that occur in a significantly lower price point.

Finally, I can still recommend the housing since it provides a lot of very great features and functions. Especially the sound shielding brings more than I would have expected. The lighting of the back is also very great. Very good is also the distance between the motherboard and the upper wall. There is enough space to accommodate a radiator along with fans, thereby placing an additional radiator and to the rear.
NZXT should this product so great it may be, but yet again look at in detail. 100% sure it is namely not mature.

PS: Anyone who buys this case, should be aware that their power supplies ATX P4 / P8 (power cables for the CPU) should be quite long. This from my PSU is 450mm long and straight so short. 500mm are likely just as rich, if you just installed the cable and lays under a small tensile stress, but this is not recommended. This should take into account if you buy with the housing a power supply. Either one should choose one with longer cables, or buy an extension.
