NZXT is a brand known for providing cost-effective products. Recently, they released the Tempest 210, a mid-tower case that costs only USD 55 and provides a terrific cost/benefit ratio, deserving our Golden Award. Now, NZXT released another USD 55 case, the Source 220. Let's see if this case is also a good option and how it stacks up against the Tempest 210.
I am always amazed at how the political and economic system works in the United States. While I am not suggesting Canada is leaps and bounds better, it is interesting how the United States government would even consider the SOPA and PIPA bills. On the technology side, blackouts were the main method of protesting, and in the end, it proved to be highly influential. Not only did it draw tons of support, but most importantly, it made many people aware of the issues and reduce the likelihood of similar future incidents from happening. With that in mind, probably completely unintentional, the NZXT Source 220 is like the blacked out version of the NZXT Source 210 Elite. Having a completely black theme without the option for a white variation, I guess the value budget consumer will have to lose out on customization. By having no other options, you might get the feeling of being forced to accept the chassis as it is; however, I am pretty certain that there will be significantly less controversy over the Source 220 than the previously mentioned bills. Today, I am not here to talk about either the SOPA or PIPA bills. Instead, we have ourselves a revision of the NZXT Source 210 Elite to discuss. Now of course, just like I would hope with any revisions to SOPA or PIPA, there should be some significant improvements over the previous version. One last note, I do not support SOPA or PIPA, and I am very thankful for the turn of events related to those bills.
Welcome to number three of the quartet of NZXT cases to grace us over the past couple weeks. With the diplomatic choice to look at them by ascending call numbers, we have now passed the 210's. With that pair of cases, the Tempest 210 and Source 210 Elite, they both shared the same frame, functionality and basic ideas. Where the cases differ is in the left side panel and the design and aesthetics of the front bezels.
Technic3D hat das NZXT Source 340 Gehäuse im Test. Das günstige Einsteigergehäuse verzichtet auf den 5,25-Zoll-Schacht und möchte eine gute Verarbeitungsqualität vorweisen. Wie das Source 340 im Test abschneidet, steht im folgenden Artikel.
The NZXT Source 530 Case has a simple, but elegance design. It's much more affordable than other full tower cases on the market. Also, it has all the main features you should be looking for including, lots of drive bays, tooless design, cable management, plenty of fans can be installed, as well as being water cooling friendly. This is a bang-for-the-buck!
The NZXT Source 530 is just such a case, clean lines with minimal flair but maximum efficiency make it a solid choice for entry level builds. NZXT has made the Source 530 a good looking case without tacking on a lot of out of place flair. The Source 530 provides a one inch clearance at the narrowest space behind the mother board panel, but that opens up to a full 1.25 inches near the bottom where most of the PSU cabling comes through.
NZXT are well-known in the industry for their ultra high end enthusiast chassis, with products such as the Phantom 820 and the H630 simply blowing us away with their no compromise, feature packed designs. There is of course just one big downside to their more epic creations, a price tag that can really hurt your wallet. NZXT are well aware that they have a big fan base that can’t afford many of their products, so it looks like they’ve gone back to the drawing board and come up with something that packs all the big NZXT features, but for just under $90 / £70.
That isn’t exactly cheap I know, but it’s easily one of the hottest and most popular sections of the chassis market, there are countless offerings in this sector from all the major players that are incredible chassis, so it will be interesting to see just how competitive the Source 530 is in this area. As you can see from the specifications below it certainly packs a lot of features and with extensive cooling support, loads of room for storage and room for huge graphics cards to name but a few, it’s certainly sounding great on paper, so let’s get to the real deal and see how it holds up to inspection.
NZXT has many award winning case designs, which offer features that are high in demand. One of their latest lines is the Source line. This case line is designed to include enthusiast level features while keeping the design simple. Currently there are four cases in this line, each are slightly different, while keeping the style similar across the line. Three of these cases are mid-towers, the fourth is a full tower. This line of cases starts at $34.72 shipped for the most basic model, the Source 210, while the highest priced model is the Source 530, coming in at a budget friendly $89.99 with free shipping. Read on to find out more about the flagship NZXT Source 530 chassis!
The Source series gets serious as it moves away from a budget chassis, and into this feature-rich Source 530 that NZXT has us looking at today.
Seit ihrem ersten Auftritt im Jahre 2004 hat NZXT immer wieder für gelegentlich auch kontroverse Debatten gesorgt, wenn es darum ging, das jeweilige Gehäuse Design zu bewerten. Die Taiwanesen präsentierten gerne ausgefallene Eye-catcher, die sich zwar wohltuend vom festgefahrenen Gehäuse Einerlei abhoben, aber eben auch polarisierten. Dies hat sich zuletzt ein wenig beruhigt und spätestens nach dem sehr erfolgreichen Phantom Gehäuse Debüt weiß jeder interessierte Leser, das NZXT einiges mehr auf dem Reissbrett hat als aberwitzige Meshboliden. Eines sollten die Hersteller keinesfalls unterschätzen, trotz der Reizüberflutung durch das Überangebot an Gehäusen, weiß der Kunde sehr genau was er will und wenn er dieses oder jenes Feature nicht antrifft, kommt das jeweilige Gehäuse eben nicht in die Einkaufsverlosung.
Mit dem neuen Switch 810 Big Tower will NZXT ein sehr gut ausgestattes und trotzdem bezahlbares Gehäuse mit viel Platz für alle erdenklichen Komponenten bieten. Das Ganze soll sich insbeondere über durchdachte Features und einer nicht zu aufdringlichen Optik definieren, so daß sich möglichst viele Kunden angesprochen fühlen sollen, die darüber hinaus auch sehr viel Wert auf eine adäquate Kühlung, hohe Statik und Stabilität legen. Ob NZXT dieser nicht unkomplizierte Spagat gelungen ist, klären wir im nun folgenden Praxis-Review, zu dem ihr wieder herzlich eingeladen seid, wir wünschen euch viel Spaß beim Lesen...
