CES 2012: NZXT Product Showcase

A couple other products that NZXT was showing off included their LED-lit fans in five colors; blue, green, red, white and orange. Instead of using LED lightropes they limited themselves to just four LEDs which make for an interesting pattern if you’re going to have the fans visible in your rigs. The fans themselves are clear plastic, which helps create that affect. They also had their PSUs on display 650-850 watts of power.

The new case is a hybrid which can do water and air cooling and up to 10-12 fans in the 120-140 range. The case also has a specialized top fin design that you can close to redirect the air or leave open for unrestrained airflow and better cooling when you’re doing some serious rig-melting gaming. The fan covering on top can be popped off and you have direct access to the three fans for the radiator at the top. The nice thing about their top panel is that there are no ports mounted on it so that means there are no cables to contend with or chance to break anything. When you do close the fins the air is simply pushed out through a couple grates that are running down the sides. This is as much a sound deadening feature as it is a cooling one.

At the top of the case, for cooling, it can feature a triple-rad, 65mm thick water cooling rig at the top. There are actually pieces that come out of the rig so that you can fit that wider 140mm fan and radiator unit (three fans on the top and three on the bottom.
