The NZXT Avatar is the first input device from the famous case and power supply manufacturer. It offers up to 2600 DPI, clean symmetric looks and a driver software that can rival what Razer and Logitech offer.

More often than not we get the pleasure of testing some of the hottest PC components. From processors to graphics cards, these can sometimes go for well over the $500 mark. And while these very expensive parts are usually targeted at gamers and the enthusiast crowd, you will find it rare to have this same group spending as much on other parts like a case, for example. Those were our thoughts when NZXT contacted us last June announcing their new Khaos all-aluminum gaming chassis which is selling for nothing short of $400. NZXT is better known for their creative looking gaming cases that sell for $150 or less. However, we must respect the company's evident intention of upping the ante with a flagship product of their own.

A company "built on gamers' dreams," NZXT has since expanded upon their "Crafted Series" cases, into a line of more modest, yet still stylish, "Classic Series" cases, and even two lines of power supplies. They have, for the most part, enjoyed great success with all of their products, which are known for being high quality despite having a lower than usual cost. Today we have for review the NZXT Performance Power 800W power supply, one whose launch was abnormally silent and hasn't received much attention.

NZXT was established in 2004 in Los Angeles, California with the goal of providing every gamer with a case they can identify with. By combining unique design with improved case performance, they hope to provide their users with quality cases that represent their individual styles and personalities. Today, Mac Daddy will be taking a look at a case from their Crafted series - the NZXT Tempest. This case claims to be the "airflow king" with 6 fans including dual 120 mm intake fans, dual 140 mm exhaust fans as well as additional side and rear 120 mm fans. Let's find out just how true that claim is!

If you haven't guessed by now this unit is an 800 watt model. This much power should be enough to power a decent multi-GPU rig. The PP800 has the greatest amount of power output in Performance Power as the other models are 500 and 600 watts. Like most power supplies today the PP800 boast four 12 volt rails totaling up to 78 amps. A lot of power, a lot of ampere and an SLI certification is enough to warrant a good run on the old test bench.

Khaos is a top-notch all-aluminum full-tower case from NZXT featuring eleven 5.25" bays, eight internal 3.5" bays (in two hard disk drive cages, each cage using three 5.25" bays), three 120-mm fans, one 140-mm fan and space for installing three more fans in the middle of the case. Is it worth paying USD 440 for this case? Let's see.

We don't have the Khaos on the review table for you today but we do have another good looking case from NZXT, the Tempest. NZXT has this case labeled as the Airflow King. At first sight you can see this case may be able to live up to that slogan and if you can't see the reason for this slogan then let me spell it out for you. This case can hold up to six 120mm cooling fans and the fans are placed in areas where they would blow over the motherboard, video card and hard drives.

Rejoice! More shiny goodies have graced my doorstep this week. This one takes the form of the NZXT Sentry LX Dual bay Fan controller LCD unit; designed with the sole purpose of making my computer infinitely more awesome than 14 yr old neighbours, despite the fact he'll still kick your ass at Quake/Unreal/Team Fortress. The low down on this puppy is 5x3pin fan connectors, 5xthermistors (that's temperature sensors) and 2x5.12" bays of LCD goodness.

Today, HardwareLogic takes a look at NZXT's newest small form factor (SFF) offering, the NZXT Rogue. In a bid to capture the SFF chassis market, the Rogue ups the ante with a highly competitive SFF enclosure where NZXT has left nothing to chance when designing and manufacturing their newest SFF case. Does the NZXT Rogue have what it takes to be named the top dog in the SFF enclosure kingdom? Will it succeed in an arena dominated by big name players that offer their own wildly successful small form factor enclosures? Let's get to it and find out!

Despite the wide variety of cases out there, from HTPC units to full towers, there's one quality that they should all possess in order to qualify as being worthwhile and that is having good airflow. It doesn't matter if a case looks like the next Mona Lisa if it doesn't keep your rig cool. With this in mind, NZXT has released the Tempest, a gaming-oriented case that claims to be the "Air Flow King". With six fans included stock, two of which are huge 140mm units the Tempest certainly looks the part. Can this mid-tower live up to the hype?

With the Tempest being NZXT's debut here on Overclockers Online, I expect it to be a rising name in the industry. The build quality on all parts of the case is excellent, and with a superior packaging method, it is very evident NZXT aims for the design and production of quality products.

NZXT has come a long way in a short time. They started simply, with a flashy entrance into the case market in the form of the Guardian. Now they have a full stable of wonderfully designed cases, and aren't showing any signs of slowing down. Their latest release, the Tempest, has garnered a lot of attention. We're going to take a look at it, and see how well it stacks up in the abundant performance case market.

Tempest from NZXT is a steel mid-tower case targeted to enthusiasts, with a transparent side window and nine 5.25" bays, eight internal 3 1/2" bays for hard disk drives divided into two cages supporting four drives each (each cage takes three 5 " bays) and six fans (one on the rear, one on the side panel, two on the top and two on the front). Let's take an in-depth look on this new release from NZXT.

NZXT has addressed these problems with their latest midtower, the Tempest. Dubbed "Airflow King", this case has a fully vented bezel, dual 120mm front intake fans, dual 140mm blowhole fans, plus 120mm window and rear fans. Sounds like plenty of ventilation, but will it sound like the next Hurricane Katrina has arrived? Read on to see!

Here at XSReviews we've taken quite an extensive look at NZXT's range of cases, but NZXT have found one we haven't had out mitts on yet. This one's called the Tempest, and it has it's own slogan: "Welcome the airflow king". NZXT have made some pretty immense cases in the past so lets take this one for a spin and see how it performs and if it deserves its catchphrase.
