I don't know if maybe NZXT changed after this review or if maybe overclockers case was mis packaged but my Guardian 921 DID come with a SATA cable to run from the mobo to the front interface. Absolutely awesome case too by the way. Looks very GOOD all lit up and when powered off it takes on a subtle clean look. Really nice design for my likings.

NZXT cases are hit and miss with me, some of them look incredible (most of the classic series) and some of them just look way too gaudy... (most of the crafted series except for the rogue and the Tempest)
Nice review though...  --------------------  CASE: Antec P182 CPU: Xeon X3220MEMORY: 4GB DDR2 GPU: XFX 8800GTS (Alpha Dog Edition) + Gigabyte 8800GT for physx MOBO: Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 PSU: Antec EA500 LCD: 20" Acer Widescreen OS: Windows XP - Use the following link to access the Official Overclockersclub Chat Room: OCC CHAT (be sure to set you browsers irc handler to your standalone IRC client) |

The case is much too transformer-y for me, but it's a good review.

Looks much nicer than the original Guardian in my opinion. Overall, NZXT makes some very nice cases, if not a tad on the expensive side, but I'd say it's worth it.

I was a little skeptical of its exotic looks too, but as soon as i got it I immediately went to the garage. Stripped the entire case down and painted everything that was bare metal flat black. Turned out fantastic as it blends the side window into the rest of the black case when turned off and gives the inside a very nice contrast with all the hardware when turned on.
