Just in Case - January 2009


You need it, you want it, and most importantly, you deserve it. The New Year is finally upon us, and that means were showcasing a whole new trio of unique cases, along with 3 additional modding supplies for each case that are sure to be a match made in cyber-geek heaven.


NZXT Nemesis Elite Gaming Case - Black

NZXT Nemesis Elite Gaming Case - Black

With it's impressive looks and well-crafted aluminum design, it's easy to see why the NZXT Nemesis Case is one of our best-selling cases. Offering everything from a top-loaded LCD Thermal / Fan Monitor to gorgeous Blue LED illumination on the front and rear 120mm fans, there's no end to the incredible features you'll find included with the Elite. All it takes is a few of the right mods to take this case to the next level of pure awesome.

The best way to start things off is to balance the interior lighting with the 12in Dual UV Cold Cathode Kit. Offering a nice contrast with the blazing blue LEDs, a set of UV cold cathodes will help balance the color scheme of the case.

If you plan on turning the Nemesis into a high-end gaming machine, we strongly recommend picking up a Saitek Cyborg Keyboard. Not only does it features tons illumination and customizable keys, but it also boasts a design that meshes incredibly well with this particular NZXT case. For an extra dosage of power and blue illumination, the Kingwin MACH 1 700W Modular Power Supply is the ideal way to super-charge your new rig.

The Bottom Line:
Treat this sleek-looking enclosure with the respect it deserves.
Grab your modding kit and prepare yourself for gaming domination.







Antec Skeleton Mini Tower Computer Case

Antec Skeleton Mini Tower Computer Case

Dare to be different? With it's unique skeletal enclosure, the Antec Skeleton Mini Tower Computer Case offers a see-through design, a three-speed 250mm top fan, and over 8 possible drive bays.

Because we'd hate to see a ton of unsightly wires hanging from such a cool-looking case, we strongly suggest Xoxide's Wireless Desktop Bundle. Offering a Moneual Lab Wireless Keyboard, a Mini Optical Mouse, and Black Func Mousing Surface, it's the perfect way to slim down the amount of cables that emerge from your PC. For the interior, we suggest using our Black Sleeving Kit. Due to the large amount of open space on display within the Antec, the less noticeable your inner wiring is, the better. To top off it's looks and usability, we recommend the VL System M-Play Blast. Offering remote controlled access to your PC, the VL System brings Home Theater capabilities to any Windows environment.

The Bottom Line:
If you're up for a serious change of approach on your next modding project, the Antec Skeleton Mini Tower is definitely one of the most unique cases you'll ever have the opportunity to tackle.

Thermaltake Xaser VG4000BWS Case

Thermaltake Xaser VG4000BWS Case

Designed for both liquid and air cooling systems, this Thermaltake Xaser VG4000BWS Case offers plenty of ways to keep your rig cool and customized. Offering a clear windowed design, a mechanical push-and-open front cover, and plenty of room to add the components of your choice, this is one enclosure that is sure to make a very creative modding project.

To set the proper lighting, our first choice would be a 12in Dual Red Cold Cathode Kit to bring the outer warmth of the case inside the interior. Offering style and safety, the addition of the Thermaltake DuOrb CPU cooler will help to accentuate the inner features of the case while providing the appropriate cooling. And if you plan on turning your Thermaltake Xaser into a customized gaming rig, you'll definitely want a high-quality peripheral like the Razer Copperhead Anarchy Red Gaming Mouse to match both the stylish looks and uncompromisable performance of your new Case.





The Bottom Line:
Make no mistake, a solid machine like the Thermaltake Xaser VG4000BWS Case deserves some of the finest mods to maximize its unlimited potential. Now pick this red hot beast and get to gamin'.
