The Install:

     We set the Trinity up with a HiperPower Type-R 480 PS, a Memorex 50x CD-R, and an Iomega ZIP drive.  The motherboard is an Epox EP-8K7A with an AMD 2800+, an ASUS FX5900, a WD 160G and a Seagate 80G for hard drives and 1 Gig of Crucial PC-3200 (2 x 512). 

     Here is a closer look at the removable drive cage with a WD 120 and a Seagate 80 installed.  Removing the cage is accomplished by removing a thumbscrew and pulling a retaining clip.

     Behind the drive bay, we find mounting for a 80mm or 92mm Drive fan and a front mounting for another case fan in 80, 92 or 120mm sizes.  Notice also the corner reinforcements.

Installing each drive was as simple as attaching the two mounting rails and slipping it into place.

     Installing the external drives requires removing the front panel and punching out the necessary covers.  The cabling you see here is for the display and the external ports.

Here is a closer look at the external ports and the venting for the drive bay fan.  The gap shown here is not visible after the drive install is complete.

With the motherboard installed, the amount of room is pretty impressive.

      Here you see the complete install with the door ready to go on. Notice there is enough room to hide the drive cables behind the removable bays when a fan is not present.

     With everything installed, we fired things up to check the lights and fan display out.  The case finish is so shiny, even my fingerprints are visible.

With the lights down, the case really shines.

Here is a closer look at the front temperature display.  This is a nice feature and it really adds to the sophisticated look.

Conclusion:

     The NZXT Trinity may be the first in a series of Classic cases, but it it is definitely not dated.  With simple good looks and the versatility of available cooling options, the Trinity can handle almost any install.  The addition of the thermal display just sweetens the pot.  With a price point under $90 including the optional 400W Power supply, the Trinity wants to be your next case solution.  With NZXT quality, this ones an easy recommend.
