NZXT LEXA S Mid-Tower Gaming Chassis [5-Fan Capability, Ambient Internal Lighting, Enhanced Wire Routing, Side-Mounted USB, Audio, E-SATA ports]

NZXT has really taken the design of computer chassis to a completely different (and insane) level. Whether it’s the internal lighting or dark, swooping designs they seem to have hit a chord with the gaming set. It’s pretty obvious that the NZXT gaming chassis is to the gaming nerd what the Harley Davidson motorcycle is to the street biker. They’re a status symbol that signifies that you’ve arrived and that you’re not one to be trifled with…at least in the World of Warcraft, anyway. The latest chassis offering from NZXT, the LEXA S, is a mid-tower gaming chassis designed with hardcore gamers in mind. While most of the features center upon its ability to keep things cool some of them focus upon just looking cool.

The NZXT LEXA S chassis is designed to optimize the airflow in and out of the unit. Just in case you didn’t know, most of the things that gamers cram into their machines emit a ton of energy in the form of heat and this heat can pose problems to the internals if not dispensed with in a hurry. Well, the LEXA S has definitely got your back. It’s designed to accept up to five separate fans including 120-mm fans on the front, side, and exhaust with a 140-mm fan on top. Don’t worry about having to go out and spend a ton on extra fans either. NZXT includes the side, rear, top, and front fans along with a fan controller that controls dual intakes and exhausts independently. The entire idea is to give you the option of ultra-cooling or whisper quiet modes depending upon what it is that you happen to be up to on your machine. And most of the time, we don’t really want to know.

The LEXA S is dressed in black inside and out and the clear, smoked window allows the blue glow of the interior lighting to show off all of your high-end gaming gear. Great for impressing your fellow gamers, not so great for impressing women. NZXT has also thrown in a 5.25-in stealth bay, turned HDD cage, and punched holes in the motherboard to make it easier to route your cables and keep things all neat and tidy inside. There’s some mention of something called a LAN party on the NZXT website, but, in all honesty, I’m afraid to ask.

The NZXT LEXA S gaming chassis is available for sale now and for only $69.99 you can get your very own. If you want all of the gory details along with the full specs you’ll have to head on over to www.nzxt.com/products/lexa_s.
