NZXT Guardian Gamers Case

     It wasn't too long ago when ClubOC sponsored a gaming event in the local Boise area called Boise Frag Fest. We even gave out awards to many of the gamers there, and we found out that most of the focus was on custom cases. Some of the gamers even went so far as to completely create new front panels using fiberglass and other resins to display their guardian-type features. Just recently some case manufacturers have really displayed what the gamers market wants by manufacturing cases that have lots of features like blow-holes, side case fans, and even in-case water cooling like that being offered from Koolance. Just a few weeks ago we took a good look at a case offered from Thermaltake, which seems to display the epitome of how far a company can go to give you what you want for your money. Partially combining what Thermaltake can give you as far as features, and what a gamer can create with a bit of time and some fiberglass knowledge, NZXT has created quite the contraption with the Guardian case, which we have for review today here at ClubOC... Lets take a look.
