Installation

Due to the very simple and no frills interior layout, the installation should be easy if you are switching from an OEM or no name case to this one. The only different aspect of installing the components is the locking mechanism. It removes the need for screws on the PCI slots and thus speeds up the installation. The mechanism works wells and does hold the card in place, so you do not need to worry about that big graphics card moving during transportation to and from a LAN party.


Installing the drives utilizes a screwless system as well. While the Adamas and Hush utilize different approaches to offer such installation, the one found in the Lexa series is the only one which truly works and does make installation simpler. Every type of drive can be installed quickly without the need for a screw driver.


Once the rails are placed on the drives, simply slide them in until they click into place, which then do not budge at all. This is by far the best system of all NZXT cases we reviewed so far.

Finished Look

Upon turning on the Lexa Blackline, I was speechless for a second. It looks great, with the blue LED fans. Much better than I expected. There is simply something about the combination, glossy black and blue or red lighting which is simply gorgeous. but that is just my preference. The LCD displays all the temperatures of the three diodes. All of them show 29° celsius as the computer was just turned on. The front actually lights up in blue as well according to power and hard drive access.
