RaidMax Elite Series Smilodon 612W Mid tower Reviews

Functional & Stylish, September 25, 2007

By Brandon

It is a little difficult to make a buying decision about a case by shopping online. You can't view it, you can't touch it and you can't make a real decision about its durability. I decided on this case and I'm glad that I did. This case makes it extremely easy to build and upgrade your system. Firstly both sides have a latch to allow simple opening of the case. No screws are used. The motherboard sits on one of the panels that open making it easy to access. the hard drive harness also swings out of the case to make it easy to add hard drives. All of the drives are held in place by clips rather then screws. One tip is that there is a toolbox hidden in a blue box under the hard drive harness. In there you will find screws and drive rails. Its easy to miss. Although this is a mid sized ATX case it is huge. It weighs in at a massive 33 pounds and is probably a bit bigger then you think. The case is also loaded with fans for optimal cooling and runs very quiet. I highly recommend getting this case. Its highly stylish and very functional.

NZXT TEMPEST EVO Crafted Series TEVO-001BK Black Steel Case Reviews

The Tempest Evolved!, January 27, 2010

By Kort

PC hobbyists and hardcore gamers; build yourself a Core i7 gaming monster! After almost two years, NZXT has updated their award winning NZXT TEMPEST Enthusiast Steel ATX Midtower-Retail (itself very similar to the popular Antec Nine Hundred) with great new features while keeping the price the nearly the same. It is large for a mid-size case has features usually seen only on higher end models. Steel construction, EAT-X support, 9 drive bays (8 railed for HDs), 3 slots for optical drives, 7 expansion slots, 6 (quieter) fans, black interior, enhanced cable management, pre-drilled for water cooling, blue LEDs and a smoked side panel -- this thing is a BEAST! (see my photo above comparing it to a standard mid-size case)
