Looks like a real contender for mid-tower class. It comes with 2, 190mm cooling fans. It also has brackets for mounting optional dual 120mm size radiator. Removable Motherboard tray and welded aluminum chassis.

$119 retail in Late April, I think it's gonna be very

successful.

I think I'm sold on this case. I was close to ordering a Silverstone FT-01 which is twice the price. I'm not a fan of bling bling lights in cases so the basic design of the Panzer appeals to me. It looks like the airflow will be excellent and wire management doesn't look like it will be a problem.

 

[blackjack23]

the only thing i might have a problem with is the PSU placement, wouldn't that kinda wierd out the cable placement, and what if you change GFx cards often?

 

[Ando]

Thats A nice case - If I didnt just get my TT-Armor MX a few weeks ago I would get this case in a flash!!

 

[tkl.hui]

I like it. Very simple design, and it's sure to be great for air or water cooling.

Take out the motherboard tray from the back?

 

[ErBall]

I totally love it. The PSU placement makes soo much sense in a case this small anyways. A modular PSU feels like it would be a must though. If I didn't have two furnaces in my case (gtx 280, i7 920), and owned a modular PSU, I would get this in a second.

I think i'm already sold on this case for an upgrade.

NZXT sent me a pre-retail sample, heres my review

Very nice. I've been hoping for some more info on this case. Could you fit a larger rad in the top or is a 120 pretty much it?

 

[Robilar]

I likes it much!

 

[jaclipse]

Very nice review. I wish they'd keep the 200cfm. If its too loud you can always dial it down with a fan controller

 

[Kamikaze127]

I don't think they want you to cable manage in this case, but I hope it's more light weight.

LANing with my NZXT Tempest is hard, because its so heavy.

Its aluminum, and I think he said it weighed 15 pounds in the review, so it should be very light weight. I think they should do the fans a la 900 and just include the higher rpm fans with a rheostat, so you can run them at whatever speed you want. Lookout antec, this thing will no doubt be very popular.

It's the lightest case I've had here yet, 13 pds @ :48 in video

I like it, but i'm too crazy about cable management to deal with that PSU placement.

 

[lhowatt]

im sold on it

 

[CyberDruid]

I just watched that on Youtube...did not know you posted it here too. I like your style of reviewing. I like that case too. Not a big fan of gynormous cases...just big enough is what I look for. Besides small cases make your GFX card look huger

I'm sold on it... That hard drive bracket looks like it would really cut down the power of that front fan though... Any cable management could be difficult...
I wants though!

I am highly considering this case as my first case upgrade from my original Apevia X-Crusier. I've sort of been slipping away from the "flashy" cases and have been wanting something simpler that is big enough for all of my hardware, as well as my new SpinQ heatsink (which is HUGE, by the way). Great review on the case also, keep up the good work Bill!
