LEXA Classic review

Strengths:

LED temp. displays, great cooling, beautiful case

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Jun 8, 2006 - This is a great case especially for gaming because of the cooling capacity and replacable filters as well as the ease of expandability. Very easy to set up, great for someone who wants to customize their system.

Beautiful

Strengths:

Lightweight aluminum construction; quiet LED fans w/filters; good airflow; LED temperature sensors; screwless installation; roomy; carrying bag; beautiful design; good support forum at NZXT website

Weaknesses:

"brushed aluminum" front is really metallic paint on plastic

Posted Apr 17, 2006 - My only gripe is that NZXT should have used real brushed aluminum for the front to complete this nearly-perfect case. The rest of the Lexa is mostly aluminum, so to skimp on this is a shame. With that said, the paint job is very well done, and you'd have to be convinced it's not real metal. The concern is that the finish would not last as long. Other than that, this case was everything I was looking for. It manages to appeal to overclocking enthusiasts with great airflow from 4 very quiet fans (3 120mm and 1 80mm included, room for 1 more 80mm; intake points are all dust-filtered), a windowed side panel to display all your hardware and LED gear, plenty of room for exansion, and screwless installation. Not only that, but NZXT manages to put all this in one beautifully designed and extremely quiet and lightweight package. The amazing quality can be seen with the filed edges, magnetically sealed door, LED temperature display, and great paint job. The forum at the NZXT website is great too for support. I was deciding between this and the Antec P180, but it seemed like so many people had the Antec. I don't regret my decision at all, after a month. I actually got the version without a power supply so I could choose my own.

NZXT Lexa Review

Strengths:

3 temp display, dust filter, brushed aluminium front chasis,

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Feb 5, 2006 - This is an incredible case from NZXT. The temperature display on the top allows me to monitor the cpu, hdd and sys temperatures. I like the brushed aluminum chasis. The blue led fans add to the beauty of this case. Installation is easy.

Nice case if you like loud fans and no customer support

Strengths:

Looks very nice in the pictures

Weaknesses:

Noisy fan, 3.5 drive bays require screws for mounting, no decent customer support whatsoever from the manufacturer(NZXT) and the seller.(Newegg)

Posted Jan 11, 2007 - Upon using this case to build my new computer, I discovered a rear fan that reminded me of helicopters coming in for a landing on the hit series M.A.S.H. NZXT did not respond to my emails. Newegg did respond by asking me to ship the case back to them. Yeah, right. Take out a day's work, throw the parts aside and ship the case back. All I wanted was a new fan. DO not buy from Newegg. Do not buy NZXT!

NZXT Lexa classic blue led edition

Strengths:

Beautiful case, decent amount of cooling, led temp sensor, toolless design, additional space for more fans, pretty big for 8800 series graphic cards, air filters on intake fans

Weaknesses:

filters might block some intake air but they do work, finger prints all over, dust magnet, some of the cables inside were a bit short (firewire cable couldn't reach my motherboard space for it)

Posted Apr 18, 2008 - I think this is by far, the most beautiful case I have seen so far, total eye candy and that's without you adding anything on there. the manual that it came with was not detailed at all, but it still shouldn't be a problem since the case is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend this case if you are looking for something nice and if it will be in the open, i guarantee you everyone passing by it will love it

Really a Classy, Quality Case

Strengths:

Great, futuristic looks, quality construction, lots of cooling fans, excellent organization

Weaknesses:

Front panel is plastic, opening the side panel requires first removing two of the screws securing the rear cage.

Posted Oct 2, 2007 - I browsed for days trying to find a gaming case that combined good looks with quality construction and superior cooling features. I think I found it in the LEXA, even though I have yet to start building my new system. I love the futuristic design, can't wait to hook up those blue LED's! This is a quality case, with rolled, finished edges, excellent internal organization, and many useful features. But it is beyond me why NZXT would secure the lockable side panel with the same two screws that hold the right side of the rear cage in place and need to be removed to gain access to the interior of the case. Nor do I see much utility in the included carrying harness. Who would want to carry the case around anyway? I would have invested the money in a brushed aluminum front panel instead. Nevertheless, I'm quite happy with this case so far, and will update this review after I fill the box!
