Introduction
I would like to thank
CaseKing.de for supplying the review samples.
CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but due to great demand, an English version is in the works. We received continous support from CaseKing and they were kind enough to send us the latest from NZXT: the Source 210 Elite chassis in white.
The NZXT Source 210 will be available in four versions. The "normal" one with USB 2.0 and and "Elite" with USB 3.0 and an additional fan. Each of these come in a choice of black or white housing.

Packaging
NZXT ships the Source chassis in a plain carboard box, just as they did with the H2. Seems like NZXT is steering clear of full color boxes for their budget and mainstream offerings. While this is by no means a bad thing, In the end the contents really count. NZXT actually manages to convey the advantages of the chassis in fairly high detail considering black is the only color at their disposal.
Two basic Styrofoam spacers hold everything in place - perfectly sufficient for a chassis of this weight and size.
