5.0 out of 5 stars Great Case, March 30, 2009

The Nemesis case is a great case, I have four of them (My two and one each for my kids) Although I do not use the top display feature (I have my towers under desk) it is a handy feature to keep an eye on your system.

There is plenty of room for all my stuff and the 'screw-less' design is very simple to use and holds well.

The only CON I have - I drilled out the 'holders' for the side window fan as it is difficult to get clean and replaced with fan screws for easier removal and cleaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Gaming Case, September 24, 2010

I was looking for a good computer case to build my new gaming rig. I find this case to be more than "good" for me. It's just outstanding. The blue lights on the fans are cool-looking, everything is well organized, and there is enough room to fit everything I bought for my pc. It also has enough room to fit most high-end cpu coolers. I installed a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ cpu cooler and it fits well.

Pros:
- Cool looking
- Plenty of room
- LCD screen showing temperatures, time, and date. (It can also control fan speeds if connected properly)
- Eye light changes colors...

Cons:
None so far.

Overall, excellent case.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best looking case, June 14, 2010

This review is from: NZXT Nemesis Elite CS-NT-NEM-EL-B Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (Black) (Personal Computers)

Before I bought the NZXT Nemesis, I checked out Cooler Master HAF922/932, Antec 900ii,Thermaltake Armor series and others, the main reason picked this one, is the killer look, the actual case looks shaper than shown on the website. (I also bought Antec Skeleton, Cooler Master Scout, for other build)
I installed Gigabyte X58 UDR7, intel i7-930, MSI-5830 display card, 6gb Patriot ram, Intel 80GB SSD, WD 2tb HD.

Many Pros other people have mentioned are all valid.

Only minor con:
-Do not have CPU cutout hole for easy Heatsink replacement, neither wire hiding place, like some other upscale cases (for example Cooler Master Scout).
-I installed Cooler Master Hyper 212+, it hit the side panel fan, so I had to remove it and switch to model 520 Heatsink. But most other cases in this category are not wider, have the same problem for tall heatsink.
-Power Supply in UP instead of DOWN position.

But for its look, great cooling by 3 great looking led fans,and other nice features, I can neglect all above mentioned minor flaw. (those flaws become neglectable, once the build is finished, all you will notice is the great esoteric look, and appreciate its elegance)
Now I am shopping for another build, I have not found sharper looking case, so maybe I'll go with this case again.
