Customer Reviews

Rating: - Very nice mid-tower case.
The NZXT Tempest takes everything that is great about the Antec 900 and improves upon it by adding 8 vertical hard drive bays.

Pros:
Power supply placement at the bottom of the case so fans on top can vent hot air upwards, fan intakes to cool all 8 hard drive bays, and a very solid overall build quality make this one of the best mid-tower cases available.

Cons:
Packaging is skimpy on protection, be sure to check for damage and the case is slightly larger than ... Read More
Rating: - Best Airflow for the Price
For the money, this case is hard to beat. Excellent airflow, easy drive installation. My only wish is that it was a couple inches deeper, to accommodate a long video card AND the internal fan that can be attached to the mount holes on the drive cage. GPU and CPU temps dropped 5-10 deg. C with this case.
Rating: - Great case for air flow and install
I live in Hawaii and my apartment has neither AC nor a way to get the trade winds to flow through.Because of this I picked up the TEMPEST, even with temps in my apartment in the high 80's low 90's my rig runs stable, its often much cooler in the case that outside even playing Crysis on High.

Rating: - Incredible simply incredible.
I have been using Ultra towers for just about every build and even though they're a little cheaper this tower is incredible in every way! I upgraded my personal machine for the third time and in the Ultra tower it was getting too hot so I did some research and found the Tempest from NZXT and have been using it for over a month now and it's been on almost the entire time without fail. I have put my fans(swapped exhaust 120mm, PCI exhaust fan, PCI twin cooler fans) in the tower to help with air flow, but ... Read More
Rating: - A product well worth the price
At first I was skeptical about purchasing a case that wasn't made by a more popular vendor, but the design and functionality of this case made it ideal for the kind of work I do, and the look is just plain cool. After assembling the case and switching it on, the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. With all of those fans on, the heat my machine let off filled the room, but my hardware monitors all show low-to-moderate component temps inside. I highly recommend this case for anyone serious about gaming ... Read More
