| Conclusions |
NZXT Khaos is an all-aluminum case targeted to the high-end user. Here is a summary of what we found about this case. Strong Points - Outstanding material (everything is made of aluminum, no steel or hybrid parts). No sharp edges where you could cut yourself while building your PC. Superior aluminum quality.
- Eight hard disk drive bays should satisfy even the most demanding user.
- Support for two power supplies, allowing you to build the most power-hungry PC in town.
- “Fake face” for optical drive for better aesthetics.
- Three 120-mm fans, one 140-mm fan and space for three extra 120-mm fans in the middle.
- Removable hard disk drive cages.
- Set of wheels and handle to move the case around.
Weak Points - No speed control for the fans.
- Only two USB ports and they are too close to each other, preventing the installation of two “fat” devices at the same time.
- No screwless mechanisms for holding daughter boards, optical drives or hard disk drives.
- No thumbscrews for holding optical drives or hard disk drives.
- No anti-vibration mechanisms for the hard disk drives.
- The dust filters are hard to reach.
- With a USD 400 price tag (USD 440 at Newegg.com) it is one of the most expensive cases available in the market today, making it a distant dream for 99.9999% of users.
In summary, Khaos is an outstanding case for rich users. If you are a normal person, there are other all-aluminum cases in the market with a better cost/benefit ratio, like Tagan A+ Black Pearl. |
