I know this is old but the case has been out for a while and I haven't seen anyone post a review on it yet. So here is a review from TechGuage. When it comes to computer cases, NZXT has some of the most unique on the market. All of their cases are designed with gamers in mind, and it shows. I took a look at their Lexa case back in February, and gave it a deserving 9 out of 10. I still use the case to this day and can honestly say, it's a great case that's built to last. I cannot immediately think of a single thing I don't like about the case, which is something rare. NZXT will soon be releasing yet another eye catching model, called the Apollo. Some Canadian outlets seem to have the case in stock now, but it may be a few more weeks before they hit e-tailers in the US. Because I have been so pleased with the Lexa, I couldn't wait to tear this one out of the box. It has a nice set of features, so lets get right to business. More from TechGuage

I really think I'd like a case with a fold-down motherboard tray like the Spire Pinafarina- the side folds down with motherboard tray and pci slots and it's in that same price range. Here's a review of that one, but I'm wondering if there are many others like that out there to choose from? edit: sorry wilson- just remembered you posted a review of that laready..

I'd like to find a case that has a side window and where the hard drive cage mounts sideways to make the drivers easier to pull out. I really like the Coolermaster Centurion 534 but I haven't found one that offers the window. I know you can get a side panel with the window cause Coolermaster has it on their site.

Yeah Voodoo PC use to use that case for one of their Workstation models.
