Nzxt Tempest Case Review
The Swedish distributor for Nzxt send us their latests case named Tempest. Nzxt has earlier been well know for their superb designs on the case but they have lacked a bit when it comes to functionality and quality. Will this case change this? We are going to see what type of features they have been able to manage in to this case that they call the "Airflow King".

The picture on the box reveals that this case is equipped with blue led fans all over the case. The case is black with a very clean look overall. On of the sides is equipped wit ha plexi window. The case was extremely well packed in the box, to be honest I barely got out the case due to the foam that was so tightly packed so the case would not move.

The top of the case is prepared for dual radiators, you also got two fans alrede mounted there to help with the airflow even if you dont want to use watercooling. The top front of the case is equipped with ports for your convinience and they consist of the following connectors, USB sound, E-sata and ofcourse the reset and power button. The E-sata is something I have not seen on cases earlier so it's a new thing that I think will come on more cases as they times goes on.

A led fan is mounted in the plexi window which gives the whole window a nice shine. We Will try to show this later in the review.
Nzxt have mounted a 120 mm fan in the back of the case to exhaust the hot air out of it. The PSU on this case is mounted on the bottom of the case, since it is prepared for radiators in the top.
