Buyer's feedback: - * Very nice mid-tower case. ...
The NZXT Tempest takes everything that is great about the Antec 900 and improves upon it by adding 8 vertical hard drive bays.

Pros:
Power supply placement at the bottom of the case so fans on top can vent hot air upwards, fan intakes to cool all 8 hard drive bays, and a very solid overall build quality make this one of the best mid-tower cases available.

Cons:
Packaging is skimpy on protection, be sure to check for damage and the case is slightly larger than most mid-tower cases, but forgivable because of the amount of hard drive bays

Buyer's feedback: - Best Airflow for the Price
For the money, this case is hard to beat. Excellent airflow, easy drive installation. My only wish is that it was a couple inches deeper, to accommodate a long video card AND the internal fan that can be attached to the mount holes on the drive cage. GPU and CPU temps dropped 5-10 deg. C with this case.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great case for air flow and install ...
I live in Hawaii and my apartment has neither AC nor a way to get the trade winds to flow through. Because of this I picked up the TEMPEST, even with temps in my apartment in the high 80's low 90's my rig runs stable, its often much cooler in the case that outside even playing Crysis on High.

The install was one of the best I have had. I could of liked a removable mobo tray, but their was lots of room to work. Only thing that could be an issue for some people is the placement of the PSU. Depending on your cable length you might not be able to plug in the CPU, or ATX cables. Mine only just made it around my HD4870 and too the mobo. So when you look at cable lengths factor not just the distance from PSU to ATX or CPU plugins, also add a few inches to get around your VGA card. This is not to say it's the cases fault, one just has to plan a little more with this style of case.

Buyer's feedback: - Incredible simply incredible.
I have been using Ultra towers for just about every build and even though they're a little cheaper this tower is incredible in every way! I upgraded my personal machine for the third time and in the Ultra tower it was getting too hot so I did some research and found the Tempest from NZXT and have been using it for over a month now and it's been on almost the entire time without fail. I have put my fans(swapped exhaust 120mm, PCI exhaust fan, PCI twin cooler fans) in the tower to help with air flow, but I'm not sure I needed them due to all the cooling provided by the included six fans. The cooling is incredible on this tower and even though it is a large tower it's built very well so I can use it over and over again without worrying about it breaking or falling apart. The noise level is minimal due to the quiet fans they used and the Blue LED's are amazing and for those that don't want a brightly lit tower this is not for you as it is like a little Blue beacon in the dark. The whole tower was well thought out as drives of any kind are easily removed or replaced and the tower can hold a total of eight HDD and three disc drives so there's plenty of room. The only issue I had was the clear window fan didn't work right out of the box so I emailed customer support and included my electronic receipt to speed things along and in 4 days I had a brand new fan without question so props to the customer service as well. Overall if you want a case that will cool any build you can come up with and offers what seems like endless expandability including water cooling then this is the tower for you. A+ across the board!

Buyer's feedback: - * A product well worth the price ...
At first I was skeptical about purchasing a case that wasn't made by a more popular vendor, but the design and functionality of this case made it ideal for the kind of work I do, and the look is just plain cool. After assembling the case and switching it on, the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. With all of those fans on, the heat my machine let off filled the room, but my hardware monitors all show low-to-moderate component temps inside. I highly recommend this case for anyone serious about gaming and heavy graphics work, but are on a mid level budget.
