NZXT, a company built on realizing the dreams of gamers worldwide, is proud to announce the NZXT Tempest. Tempest features breakthrough features in every category satisfying the high performance demands of PC Enthusiasts and Gamers worldwide. Tempest stakes its claim as Airflow King with 6 fans including dual intake(120mm), dual exhaust(140mm) with additional side and rear fans(120mm) all included. Tempest maximizes expandability with E-ATX support allowing for more compatibility with high end components including larger graphics cards. Cable routing is pre-drilled so users can hide cables behind the motherboard tray, allowing for a cleaner appearance and improved airflow. Tempest also features server-like HDD space by using dual 120mm fans to cool cages holding up to 8 HDDs allowing for large capacity systems while maintaining cool temperatures.

Looks preddy neat, slopes backward every so slighlty, and has strip lighting on the front. I wonder what ratings it got as far as air flow performance, and module partitioning airflow goes?

looks like the antec 900, an ugly ass case.... thought this one is a bit better.

Nzxt is freaking amazing lately. Not really my flavor of case (I'm more of a Rogue, Adamas fan), but still thats a pretty cool looking case. SO much better than their previous builds, which tend to remind me of transformer vomit. ...which is kind of cool when you think of it in that kind of light, but thats probably just me. lol

I wonder when it is going to be released? I can't wait to see some non-messed with photos!

Isn't this the same case?

I guess they changed the name? That would explain why I couldn't get any google results when I googled "airflowking". lol

Tempest is a much better name, imo. :up:

LoL! Holy mother of the apes that is ridiculous! Here I was wondering why they were calling it the "Airflow King".

Doubt I shall no more of the cooling capabilities of the Nzxt Tempest. ...or the jet engine decibels your bound to reach. lol

I actually wanted that case at one point...

I currently have a Lexa and am pretty happy with it.

Few more pictures without photoshop alterations from xoxide. I wish they were as piano black looking in real life as they are in the pictures that NZXT puts out...

That case actually doesn't look half bad in black from that angle. lol

I remember when the Lexa first came out, I thought; "damn I wish I had a computer as sexy and elegant looking as that!!"

...fast forward to right now...

I still do! :)

Yes that case is called the Tempest. NZXT has only crowned it as a "Airflow King". I don't think it looks half bad. The Antec 900 looks like crap in my opinion, plasticy and tacky. This looks like it has been constructed much better, still plastic though.

LEXA FTW!!!

I think it looks great, but I have a Lian-Li atm which makes it quite hard to justify that purchase
