The NZXT Lexa S presents an interesting evolution in the Lexa Series. On one hand the "S" variant comes with an all black interior and an updated design, but on the other hand is aimed at a totally different market. That said, expect the omission of a few more expensive features like an LCD screen or an elaborate door lock. You will however get a lot of new features not found in the previous Lexa cases. Most of these are more of the functional kind instead of having that "wow" factor. There are the thumb screws for optical drive installation or finally a hole in the mainboard tray to easily install backplates of heavy coolers in combination with cable routing possibilities. Both of these new features do pose some limitations however as some large coolers will collide with the ceiling fan, and the lack of space puts a bit of a dampener on the cable hiding possibilities. The Lexa S does also vastly improve on the air flow and water cooling possibilities, but also with a few minor annoyances. While the chassis does ship with four quiet cool looking fans at a very competitive price point, why not include a one last 140 mm as finding that exact same fan will be hard if not impossible as NZXT does not sell them separately. Also even though it is great to see the possibility of fitting the case with a dual radiator, those wanting to stick with a single external one will have to sacrifice air flow right above the CPU area, as the fan will be in the way due to bad placement of the water cooling holes in the rear of the chassis. NZXT has included two dials for controlling two pairs of fans, which will certainly come in handy as well, along with the tray to install two 2.5 inch hard drives. The Lexa S also scores with the nice lighting elements in the front of the chassis the sweet design. I do think however that those who will go on to use water cooling will also choose to upgrade to a more expensive case, leaving the Lexa S behind. So for the price of the chassis, many are probably going to find it a nice choice in both design and affordability for their own first build. One last note though: NZXT should really try to word their feature list so the potential buyer knows what they are talking about instead of being left with a feeling of "oh it is just *that* feature, but it sounded so cool on paper" upon unpacking and filling the enclosure.
