Looks like the Antec 900 has some competition...

Yep...apparently the NZXT Tempest is the new 'Airflow King'.
It certainly looks nice...and its available on Amazon. (although its currently out of stock)



Reviews here and here.

My 'download PC' is kinda noisy you know.....

Honestly i'm not impressed, not from a design perspective nor from an aesthetic perspective. The Antec is still a better looking case. It also looks quite loud and having to remove my intake to facilitate more 5" or 3" bays is not cool.

^^^ The Antec 900 is faced with the same issues.  If I had seen this before the Antec, I would have bought this one.
The fact that its out of stock on Amazon is significant.

you and them stinking 80mm fans like a turbine engine in your room..
For real...this is exactly why I need to replace that case.  Them biatches just too loud.

WRT the fans, I try not to use the supplied ones.  I always replace those with quieter (and prettier) Antec or Thermaltake fans.

I can safely say, this will be my next case purchase.
Luckily, Customs treats cases like a whole computer, so no VAT/duties will apply.  The freight will be a bitch though.

Yuh got that right!

But I would quicker cough up for a themaltake Shark or gandalf. Or if I REALLY HAD cash to blow a Lian Li full ATX chassis O_O *W1nTry drools on keyboard*

my Antec900 has 4 120's + the 200mm fan all set maximum speed, but i use the Thermaltake Fan Speed Control, so i can throttle back the speed when it's not needed. this system at it's quietest is far less noisy than another system with only 3 80mm fans which are already reduced speed with resistors.
