My NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case came sooner than expected. I am very pleased with it. I purchased it for the extra room it afforded me building a new computer. I am not a gamer. I wanted plenty of room to work in and plenty of space for air flow and heat distribution. There is ample room to run cables through and onto the back side to give better air flow to the M/B. There are 3 large sized fans that are extremely quiet and give great air flow through the case. There is also room to add fans if needed. There is also ample room for several Hard Drives, additional 3.5 card readers, and additional DVD/CD readers. The only real con to the case is the directions provided. The directions are very sketchy and give little detail, especially in how to connect the temperature readout controls for the case's external display. The case itself is well designed and quite attractive. I am very pleased with the case. You will not be disappointed with this case.

This case is great. Looks really cool, comes with everything you should need. The temperature sensors are great. It has a couple problems that keep it from being a 5 star case though. It basically comes with no instructions. The instructions are graphics-only and are very minimalist. I mean, you'll figure it out eventually, but for a first-time PC builder it was a little bewildering. The other problem is that it's too small. My MSI geforce 970 could not be placed into the first PCI slot due to space limitations. I had to put it into the 2nd PCI slot. This means I won't be able to come back in the future and put two of these graphics cards into the mobo to update it, which makes me sad. I also barely got the side cover on after installing my custom heatsink. It pushes against the fan on the side cover. The fan is not removable. All in all its a great looking case but it just needed more room inside. I'd give it a 3.5 stars if that was an option but I'm bumping it up to 4.
Great case. Very pretty. The temperature sensors are a bit tedious to install since they are not long enough to retain tidiness as well as safety from getting one caught in a case fan (or CPU or GPU fans). My least favorite part is the fan connectors. They aren't connected to a central hub therefore causing all sorts of tidiness issues. The inside of my case looks horrendous mainly because of the connectors. One more thing. The size is a little too small for my liking. My MSI GTX 970 is JUST BARELY small enough to fit. Like, there is an eighth of an inch between the hard drive bays and my GPU; leaving almost no room for my PSU cables. If you aren't worried about cable tidiness and/or you are getting a small GPU, then this case is for you.PS: Dust buildup is common. There are no filters on the fans so I am forced to partially disassemble the case in order to clean it. Other than that, it's a good case!
