Nox Xtreme is a European brand offering a wide range of cases. The Coolbay VX is one of their latest cases and is supposed to add a nice splash to a system. With the chassis available with a red, black, or goblin green interior, you also have the choice as to what color fits your build best. But the Coolbay VX does not only look cool, it also packs loads of features. While none of these are extreme high-end implementation, they still do work perfectly - from the screw-less knobs of the ODD bay to the goblin green hard-drive trays, the fan controllers, and the hot-swap bay. Its overall feature set is excellent, even if the Coolbay VX does not really offer any space for proper cable routing or hiding.

The Nox Xtreme Coolbay VX is a pretty cool chassis if you are willing to invest some time and thought into making it look as pretty as possible.
