The Bunker has four USN ports under a locking mesh lid. The idea is that you can plug in your mouse and keyboard and other gear using these ports and route the cables so that the peripherals can’t simply get unplugged and walk about the door with a thief.

The device fits into a vacant 5.25-inch drive bay and has four USB ports inside. It opens with one of those weird looking round keys that a vending machine uses. Pricing for the Bunker is unknown at this time.

The new LED kit has the lights put inside the same sort of material that it typically used to sleeve cables inside the PC for a streamlined look. The sleeves hide the wires needed to power the LEDs and make the setup flexible and easier to work with in the tight confines inside a PC chassis.

The kit is offered in five different colors with red, green, white, blue, and orange lights. There are two sleeve lengths offered with a 1-meter and a 2-meter kit. Each strip of lights has a sensitivity adjustment with high, medium, and low settings and the lights can be turned off as well.

The HALE90 line of PSUs are available in multiple power ratings. The largest is a 1000W unit and the smallest is a 550W unit. Between those two are PSUs rated for 650W, 750W, and 850W. All of those PSUs are 80 Plus Gold certified for efficiency.

The small 550W PSU has a standard design, but all of the other units in the line are modular designs. The modular design means that you can use only the cables you need eliminating clutter inside your PC. All of the PSUs also sport a single +12V rail and will fit inside typical ATX cases.

It rocks some pretty nice contours, that’s for sure. Defining lines go out of their way to, well, define it. But, let’s get right into the details, shall we? First and foremost, NZXT went out of their way to make sure that this system stays cool. It features 7 fan cooling options with dual 200mm, single 230/200mm, triple 120mm, and front 140mm fans. There’s even the option for dual radiator support, quad watercooling cutouts, and an integrated fan controller with up to five 20W channels.

Other features include a distinctive LED on/off button, rubber PSU and case feet to reduce vibration, easily removable front and top panels for easy access, and top-mounted USB, Audio/Mic, and E-SATA ports. But, NZXT has a confession to make: they didn’t do all of this on their own. They reached out to the community, and they found themselves renowned modder, Craig Bugger. He designed the L.O.S.I.A.S., Rogue, and OSIDAS Projects. Which means that you’re looking at getting some of the best designed equipment, right here.

Unfortunately, it’s not available right now. NZXT plans to have the Phantom ready to go by September, and it will come in black, red, and white. As for the price, the company wants to have it at an MSRP of $139.99. Check out the full press release below.

Co-Founder and Product Manager at NZXT, Johnny Hou, sent out a letter today explaining the situation to its loyal customers. According to the letter, yesterday evening the NZXT site was infiltrated illegally, and those responsible basically went to town on the website. Not only did they send out the initial letter, but they also changed device warranty information, as well as deleted plenty of home page and product banners throughout the site. Hou also goes on to say that NZXT isn’t going out of business, and that they are looking forward to launching several highly anticipated products over the next couple of months.

It’s good to see NZXT isn’t heading out the door. We’ll be looking forward to seeing what those highly anticipated products are, and those of you out there that enjoy NZXT-branded things, we’re sure you are, too. Below, you’ll find both letters, the initial one from the hackers, as well as the official word from Hou himself. Go ahead and take a gander.

[Thanks, Matt!]

Initial Letter

Dear fans, friends, and followers of NZXT

Thank You,
Johnny Hou

NZXT’s Official Letter

To our friends and loyal customers in the PC enthusiast community,

Johnny Hou

NZXT is typically associated with computer cases, but the company has offered up the coolest fan controller ever. The thing is called the Sentry LXE and it has a big touchscreen for control of up to five fans.

That big touchscreen is backlit so you can see it in the dark. You can set temp alarms and it can control fan RPM for up to 10W per channel. The frame is made from brushed aluminum and it connects to your PC via PCIe slot and the frame sits on your desk.

The Hades is a mid-tower chassis that has nine 5.25-inch bays or can be set up with five 5.25-inch bays and four 3.5-inch bays. The case is designed to support the latest video cards with 300mm clearance for ATI 5970 cards and other large devices.

The cooling system is robust with dual 200mm fans and a 140mm top fan along with a 120mm exhaust fan. All of the fans are included with the chassis except the 140mm top fan. The case also has a temperature monitor on the front panel and a punched mesh side panel. The case supports radiator mounting and is pre-drilled for water cooling tubes. Pricing is unknown at this time, but NZXT cases typically run around $100.

The case is designed with E-ATX support so it will work with larger server motherboards and large video cards like the new ATI HD 5970. The case is made from steel and measures 211.5 x 521.5 x 562mm (WxHxD) and weighs 11.2kg with no PSU. NZXT ships the case with a full cooling system installed including dual 120mm front fans, single 120mm rear fan, single 120mm side panel fan, and dual 140mm top panel fans.

The case has seven expansion slots and has enough space to hold eight HDDs. A single 3.5″ adapter bracket is included and three of the 5.25″ bays are external. The chassis can also be ordered with a 500W PSU installed. The chassis is also cheap with a MSRP of $99.

The GAMMA has the cooling covered with the capacity for six fans inside, though it only ships with a single 120mm rear fan. The interior of the case is black along with the outside for a uniform appearance. The font panel of the case is made from mesh to allow more airflow, which is vital for keeping heat-producing components running their best.

The case is built with wire routing in mind featuring holes in the mainboard tray and the HDDs are turned in the chassis to help with cable management. The case is also ready for water cooling with holes for tubing already drilled in the rear of the case. The top of the case also has supports for an external dual radiator. NZXT designed the GAMMA to support video cards up to ten inches long. The best news is that the GAMMA is pegged to sell at about $50.

Modifying cases for PCs isn’t a new thing, especially when it comes to gaming on a PC. Those long nights in front of the monitor are not only bad for your eyes, but also for that standard PC you may have cramped up underneath your desk. That’s where getting a new case comes in, and frankly, there’s not much better of a manufacturer to do it, than NZXT. We’ve covered them a few times in the past, and each time we are equally impressed in the quality of their products. This time around, the Lexa S manages to surprise us yet again.

“We really wanted to offer gamers a solution for under $70 that offers optimal performance with out compromise” said Johnny Hou, Chief Designer at NZXT. “With Lexa S you get enhanced airflow, sleek aesthetics, superior cable management and added features like an SSD bracket.”

First and foremost, getting a bang for your buck is huge, and NZXT has delivered well in this regard. At $70, this thing is a steal (don’t steal it), and should definitely be on the radar for anyone who’s serious about gaming on their PC. The Lexa S is designed for enhanced airflow first and foremost. It has the capability of 5 fans within the chassis, which include 120mm fans on the front, side, and exhaust. There’s another, 140mm fan on the top of the box, just to make sure that air is getting circulated. NZXT includes the fans, as well as a fan controller that controls dual intakes and exhausts independently and effectively optimizes your computers performance.

Other features include the sexy aesthetics, a smoked clear window along the side of the tower, and an all black interior. There is a 5.25-inch stealth bay, to hide away any extra wires you may have lying around. There’s even an ambient light above the drivers within the case, just to get a bit more show in the box, as well as adding visibility when it is needed. A bracket for two Solid State Drives (SSD) is even included. This is a great piece of technology, especially for the price, and should be picked up when it’s made available at the end of September, for an MSRP of $69.99

The chassis also has a side intake intended for graphics cooling and a mesh front panel. Not to mention, this thing looks cool, with a black interior and clear window with a smoked coating. It also has water cooling holes pre-drilled into it, making installation much easier.

The M59 also has plenty of room inside for a 10.5″ graphics card, two SSD drives and an ambient night light. You can get the M59 from NZXT starting in August for $59.99, which is pretty affordable considering the quality.

The Cryo S is made from brushed aluminum and features two 120mm fans. These fans can support a notebook that’s up to 15-inches in size and is effective at providing optimum cooling.

A rubber finish keeps the notebook slightly elevated so heat can’t be trapped and it effectively removes heat from your whole notebook, including the whole case, so you’ll know your latest gaming adventure won’t be interrupted. Power comes by means of the AC adapter or USB. You can purchase the Cryo S now for $49.99.

The Cryo S features two 120mm fans that are adjustable and can be be used with any notebook that’s up to 15-inches. The top is coated in rubber, which helps keep the notebook elevated a bit and allows for more ample airflow.

You can connect the Cryo S by means of USB or an AC adapter. It also contains two USB ports for added connectivity. And since many gamers are concerned with the overall style of their computer accessories, you can rest assured this one is sleek and nice to look at. You can get the NZXT Cryo S this month from Newegg.com for $49.99.

The Beta is all black inside and super easy to expand. It has room enough for 4 5.25-inch drives, 10.5-inch graphics cards and even 5 hard drive racks. could you imagine the beast of a computer you could make with that sort of freedom?

Expanded cooling is included with 4 120-mm fans working to keep both the processor and the video cards nice and cool. Screwless installation makes this one super easy to set up or change up. You will be able to get the Beta, an economical yet effective case, starting this month for $49.99.

Most LAN cases lack airflow due to inadequate space, but not the Panzerbox. Inside the all black interior, there are two oversized 190mm and one 120mm fans that churn out a combined 300 Cubic Feet per Minute air flow, along with oversized heatsinks to optimize component cooling. Motherboard tray is removable, conveniently designed for much easy installation, and storage option is available from three external 5.25 inch and four internal 3.5 inch drive bays. A top-mount external I/O panel offers connectivity from USB, Audio to e-SATA ports.

The new NZXT Panzerbox Lan case is slated to ship next month for a suggested retail price of $120. More detail of the product is listed here.

10mm of noise-dampening foam padding has been fixed to the inside of the side and top panels, and there’s a padded PSU cage to minimize noise from that fan too.  The drive cages are fixed in with rubber grommets, and the whole case features screwless installation.

Four fans are included – two 120mm and two 80mm – as well as pre-drilled wire management channels.  The NZXT Whisper case will be available in September, priced at around $139.99.
