PC Case Review Roundup - NZXT, Rosewill, Thermaltake

• Benchmark Reviews: NZXT Whisper Full-Tower Computer Case:
  
  

  "Despite the retail box having been battered during shipping, the presentation NZXT puts forth is excellent. You won't see flashy gaming artwork but instead a subdued and elegant styling to it that is in line with it's "Whisper" name. Care is also taken in the packaging of the case. The case itself also lends itself to sophisticated and elegant styling. Something I appreciate a lot and therefore gave it high marks in that category.
  
  The roomy interior, concealed IO ports, room for 9 hard drives and 7 optical bays, insulating foam and quiet fans are all things I like about the Whisper. I don't really like the separate chambers for motherboard and PSU. In theory it's good but since the front does not include a fan for the upper chamber, it doesn't allow for proper airflow throughout the case and can be a problem with modern hardware like video cards that require positive air flow. I also didn't care for the locking mechanism on the IO panel nor the cheap rubber feet. I know some people love the tool-less optical drive feature but I just like my drives to feel as if they're fully secured when mounted so therefore I used plain old screws. Overall the Whisper has some very good functional features that a lot of people will appreciate. "

• EXTREME Overclocking: Rosewill Wind Ryder Mid Tower Case:
  
  

  "For a value priced case, the Rosewill Wind Ryder is fair overall. That being said there is some room for improvement. The main complaint I have is the front of the case. It looks nice, but the plastic feels flimsy and the door does not open past 90 degrees. With a MSRP of $69 on Rosewill’s site, this case is reasonable for the price. Currently on Newegg.com the Wind Ryder is going for $45-$55. That being said, for a budget build it’s not bad. It looks nice and is functional, just don’t expect the same features and refinements as a $250 premium case."

• High Tech Reviews: Thermaltake Spedo Advance Chassis:
  
  

  "The Thermaltake Spedo is the ideal case to choose whether this is to be your new case or even your replacement case. It has all the features one would expect from a high-end case. The time it takes to build a new system will be reduced in half thanks to the tool-free features and vastness of the interior of the case. Do yourself a favor and check this one out it is not be missed."

• ThinkComputers: NZXT Whisper Classic Series Silent Tower:
  
  

  "The price seems right for around $140 online for this quality of a Full Tower Case and even a much cheaper alternative to a server chassis, which in my mind can be a better alternative depending on the server use. The NZXT Whisper offers quite a lot of options for its users and would be a perfect addition for someone looking for a full tower, silent, multiple drive, or simple yet elegant case. Overall Think Computers would like to give the NZXT Whisper Classic Series Full Steel Silent Tower a 10 out of 10 score and our Good Value Award."
