Thats a good deal, but how come NZXT doesn't make any classier looking cases?

I've carefully thought this answer out and I believe it to explain this question to the best of my ability, however it is subjective and I will not shy away from that.

NZXT has grown to be known for a certain style. That style is not necessarily "not classy", but bold and sometimes extreme designs. These designs either inspire love or sometimes loathing with little between. It is because of this that it can very easily not be considered classy by some. However if classy means simple quality designs, I believe we absolutely make classy cases. Off the top of my head (Khaos, Source, H2, and the case being used in the Aqua S build).

Personally I find that the Phantom is very classy, as well as the Panzerbox. Well, if NZXT still made the Panzerbox that is.

Edit: I wish I had some extra money, I'd take advantage of this sale.

Appreciate the answer, even if it's subjective.

I suppose the older I get, the less I want a "gamer" looking case. Instead something a little cleaner and sleeker. Brushed aluminum, quality materials and so on.

Because such is subjective? That said, I'm not really a fan of their style, either.

I need a 5mm white LED to molex you guys got any?

Most of the deals you get on their store site you can get just as cheap on newegg with free shipping added.

Yeah no offense but I checked out the deals and shipping pretty much kills all of them. I wanted to buy the red led strip but can be had for less elsewhere even with the 20% off. Do like nzxt products though. Have red sleeved extensions for 24pin, 8 pin cpu, and 2x 6pin psu.

I like this but you didn't answer my question. Does NZXT make a clear windowed side panel for the NZXT Source 210 series? If not then that would be a budget case to be reckoned with if you made one for it!

This would be something the engineers would think about making? Windowed style cases are nice for builders that show off their hardware and a budget case with style like this deserves atleast a clear side panel version or be able to purchase the panel extra if wanted.

Same here...I bought my Aurora (Brushed aluminum, quality materials ect.) and figured I'd get something different in a few years but I'm older and less flashy now lol... NZXT has some nice stuff tho!

I have to say this, you guys did great with the Source 210 series cases. They are inexpensive, well built, and exotic yet "normal" enough looking for my work to use for client computers.

I ended up using one for a client's NAS storage box and it has the ability to cool all 7 HDDs with no problem!

OMG I loved my NZXT but wanted mATX so went vulcan and my friend is using the M59. Very nice case, only issue I had was the smoke side panel, It would have been better with complete clear side to see the internals better but it still does very well!

I recently ordered 10 of the Source 210's in white.

Great case for the money, my customers love them. Finally I may have another common use case for my general builds, best part is they can take the fans if you need them.

None were damaged in shipping (well packed), very clean looking.
(Some don't like the white, whatever, I'll order some blacks when I run out of the previous cases I was using)

Oh BTW, these were cheaper on the website than on newegg, especially after shipping!

Not sure if you've seen this on sale, but the Khaos is stupid cheap right now.

I agree thay are great cases for the money. They are super easy to build in with very intuitive cable management. I picked a white one up to transfer my parts to when I upgraded and ended up using it for my cruncher build.... with a Sentry Mesh fan controller naturally. Runs nice and cool with only 5 of the possible 7 fan positions filled too

Now I need another white one to transfer the parts of my other cruncher into so I have twins but ran out of funds for a little while. Everything is in an old Raidmax Iceberg ATM
