NZXT Lexa Mid-Tower
Conclusion:
In the past years when NZXT was in its infancy, we had looked at the original Guardian followed by the Nemesis Elite and most recently the Trinity. On top of these cases, NZXT has most recently ventured into creating SLI-certified power supplies with their Precise 550 and 650. Our first impressions with the NZXT Lexa had come last year while Phoronix was covering Computex Taipei 2005, and since that time between the early June event and the product being officially launched, a few alterations were made. In fact, after receiving the Lexa for testing we were in awe at its aesthetics and features. To recap some of the features are a mirror-like front panel door, LCD thermal monitor, near screw-less installation, and cable organization cage. Installing hardware inside the NZXT Lexa was a snap, though there were a few limitations. These limitations included our test PSU obstructing the top 80mm fan, and not all of the front panel cables being long enough. The Lexa is the perfect chassis for continuing the success of the NZXT Classic series, which was started by the inception of the Trinity. The NZXT Lexa without the 500W power supply can be found for approximately $120 USD.
