NZXT Tempest Case Review

NZXT has released the Tempest, a gaming-oriented case that claims to be the "Air Flow King". With six fans included stock, two of which are huge 140mm units the Tempest certainly looks the part. Can this mid-tower live up to the hype?

Overall, I was extremely impressed by what was offered by the NZXT Tempest. It seems like a fairly simple notion; lots of fans, and a simple, uncluttered design to deliver maximum airflow. In this respect, it succeeds. It also offers quite a bit of drive bay space, and a flexible configuration to allow for more 5.25" drive bays if you remove the HDD cages; though in this case you’ll have to sacrifice one of the front 120mm fans… the current price of the Tempest is about ~$100 or so online. For this price, you’re getting tons of value and the Tempest would be well-suited for most any rig.
