NZXT has a suite at the Hyatt hotel, instead of a booth at the show grounds. They are showing off their newest cases as well as a gaming mouse. There are two cases which are currently still in the prototype stage, so we cannot show you any images. Besides these two, there are several other enclosures, which are launching soon or right after the show. The following images show new editions of available cases and new mainstream enclosures, expanding the Zero line-up. The Whisper uses sound proofing and has a total of 10 hard drive bays, as well as a front door.



Hit the "Read full story" button for images of their new high-end case and gaming mouse



The Kaos was shown off before, but is now present in the final shape and form It is a full tower case, made completely of aluminum. It features the same type construction as the NZXT Adamas which we reviewed in the past. This case will have a price tag of around 400 US Dollars.


The gaming mouse comes with all the usual features you would expect from such a device as well as an application to fine tune it to your needs. The product is ready and should start shipping soon at around 55 US Dollars.


Last but not least, they also have a dual-drive bay fan controller . This unit can actually turn off fans completely, so you can tune down the PC at night, when it is running idle or office applications. The unit features an easy to use interface, so you can quickly change any settings. Note the little silver plaque on the case. NZXT will be using this to brand the enclosures from now on.

The Whisper is a p180 clone. I bet its gonna be hard to plug the power to the board in that case. The psu is waayyyy low.

the khaos looks a little appealing - kinda reminds me of the Dell cases (the really huge & expensive gaming ones) but obviously smaller. i quite like it.

Looks like the Kaos is aiming at CoolerMaster and Thermaltake in the high end of the casing genrea. Looks huge but I cant tell much more about it. Id like to see the prototypes, too bad they wont let you show them :(
