Introduction
NZXT is a company focused on the needs and desires of PC enthusiasts and gamers alike. Today, we are taking a look at their newest mid-tower case: the NZXT Tempest. While aesthetics, quality and price are important considerations for those purchasing a computer case; with this addition to their lineup, NZXT have set their focus on one core feature: cooling. The question posed is: “Have NZXT created a quality case that can aptly be dubbed the “Airflow King”?”

Packaging and bundle:
The box, like previously reviewed NZXT products, is attractive, and includes pictures of the case as well as a list of specifications. Inside the box, the case is packed in hard foam and bubble wrap, and it arrived without a scratch. After removing the case from the package, it was quickly noticed that there was nothing included with the case: no additional screws, standoffs or instructions. Our representative stated this was just a review sample omission and that the retail case will include them.
