DH Review: NZXT LEXA
Grace has just finished her latest review.
NZXT always had us used to cases that are innovative, practical and different from most of the competition. Always their cases were made with care, good quality components and were very promising to the users. They only recently expanded their products line with a new case, promising excellent performance and attractive design at the same time. This case is very elegant and aesthetically appealing by being completely symmetric, rather than featuring a complex design. Let us have a close look at this new, very promising case from NZXT, the Lexa.

Wow that case is beautiful! It's nice they included all those fans, and that a couple have led's to boot.
At $129 w/o psu, $179 w/ the 500w (US), it's pretty expensive  (or is it just me...)

Well for the UK that would work out with the 500w PSU at around £100. Which is actually pretty reasonable for a case of that quality. I dont know what you guys would class as competitive USA pricing though.

First off nice review.
The thing is here we're paying extra for the PSU, which I don't even need. I went with a Gigabyte case instead. I was expect that case to sell for around $150 or so. At least $110.00 w/o the PSU.

Nice review Grace, thank you.
I like the design of the case and the cleanliness of its look. With the fans, the LED readout, the sensors, cables, rails, the front ports, the big side window, and a touch of fan LED action it seems a good value too. One of few cases I've seen for the PC that embrace the clean design of Apple's cases - which I like a lot...

Yup figures they get the Non-PSU after I get my new case. Oh well, I'm happy with my Gigabyte.
