If you are looking for a lightweight case that won’t you make give up the aesthetics of other high end gaming cases, then the NZXT Lexa is the way to go. Designed for those who move their computer to go to LAN parties, this case provides all the necessary components to have a great gaming computer without all the weight.

Some of the more impressive aspects of the cast include the screwless mounting system. This has become a trademark of NZXT products and makes building your computer a breeze. Adequate cooling is also included in the unit with three 1,100 PM 120mm fans and one 80mm fan.

There is a digital panel that displays three temperatures. They are labeled CPU, System, and HDD. In our testing we found the temperature read-outs to be fairly accurate and the blue LED screen at the top front of the case is very easy to read.

On a completely aesthetic feel, the NZXT Lexa looks hot! The aluminum chassis paired with the blue lights create a subtle, sleek feel to the computer. The included fans also enhance the blue lighting. The front cover has a magnetic lock so that the door closes snugly and there is even an included lock on the side panel if you want to protect your computer at LAN parties.

Overall, the NZXT Lexa is a great option when considering a high end computer case with a lightweight feel.
