NZXT Tempest 410 Elite

Zitat: Pro: + Dedicated room for a 240mm radiator + Good cooling potential + Quick-release front fans + Looks like a gaming chassis Con: - Feels more cramped than it should - Only one USB 3.0 port - Leaks noise - Looks like a gaming chassis NZXT claims to be a company built upon gamer´s dreams, and in many ways, the Tempest 410 Elite is a testament to the manufacturer´s beliefs. Designed, it seems, exclusively for the stereotypical PC gamer, the chassis is best surmised in NZXT´s own words; it´s an "aggressive cooling solution" with a "large honeycomb steel mesh design, dual radiator support, and dual touch powered 120mm front fans". Oh, and the Elite variant includes a large side-panel window specifically for you to "show all your friends the true core processing power of your PC!". All those statements are true, but they leave the Tempest 410 Elite targeting a very specific market. After all, if you aren´t planning on using a thick 240mm radiator, what you´re left with is a chassis that´ll leak noise through large gaping holes. Bottom line: The mid-tower marketplace is fiercely contested and there are better all-rounders available at little extra cost. But if you happen to like the looks, the Tempest 410 Elite is exactly what it set out to be: a mean-looking enclosure with gobs of cooling potential.
