Introduction

I would like to thank NOX for supplying the case for review.

NOX is a relatively new brand that focuses on producing premodded cases that aren't overly expensive. We have taken a look at the NOX Moonlight chassis in the past (read the review here) and today we have the opportunity to shed some light on one of their newest offerings - the Coolbay HX.

NOX was also kind enough to send us one of their new power supplies along with the chassis. The APEX 700W sits right in the middle of the new series, which can also be had in 600W and 800W flavors. It features modular cables, four rails, four PCIe power cables and an efficiency of 80%.

Specifications

Packaging

The package of the Coolbay HX features a black backdrop and a large image of the chassis itself on the front. The rear shows you the guts of the case and goes into great detail about the various features. NOX lists the specifications in six languages, three on each side of the retail box.


The case is protected by thick Styrofoam spacers. These may not survive a fall, but should take the hit instead of the case. A heavy-duty plastic bag further protects the Coolbay HX from lighter damage.
