INTRODUCTION

As PCs found their way into more homes, they quickly became a staple of modern life. And like most things in modern life, what worked yesterday won't work today. This not only includes components like faster CPUs and video cards, but also fancier cases and enclosures. People grew tired of the cookie cutter beige box and wanted to express themselves through radical looking cases. Once manufacturers began to take notice and it was only a matter of time before every enthusiast was given a sea of choices when it came to picking a suitable chassis. Whether you wanted a full tower, mid-tower, or HTPC, you had plenty to pick from. Side-panel or no side panel? It's all good. Even color was no longer restricted to just beige, black or silver.

Without further ado, I present you the NZXT Khaos. A full size tower chassis that is determined to take its own path. Read on to see if this case is worthy of your next build.

 

SPECIFICATIONS

Looking at the specs of the NZXT Khaos gives us our first hint that this may not be your ordinary full tower chassis. With more fan placements than you can shake a stick at, the least of your worries will be keeping your precious components cool.
