PCI Case Nitro Tower Case

First Impressions of the PCI Case Nitro Tower Case.

The Nitro shares the majority of its features with the Thermaltake Shark - this alone would get a good rating, but the features of a case count for nothing if the unit doesn't look any good. The Nitro, fortunately, uses a combination of plastic and aluminum to give the unit a simple yet effective design, even managing to incorporate a mechanical bezel with an aluminum plate on the front of it.

Features

- Drives (5.25" exposed x 5 , 3.5" exposed x 2 , 3.5" hidden x 5)

- Lockable side cover

- USB, Firewire, Audio ports on rotating panel

- Intel Prescott ready

- Removable 3.5" rails

- 5.25" drive assembly with slide rails

- Tool-free fan holder

- Tool-free front bezel design

Conclusion

The Nitro has a great array of helpful features captured within a unique unit. The design has a very high tech look to it, topped off with the ability to mount what might just be the largest processor vent I've seen so far. This is the perfect case for an Intel Prescott system, recommended.
