height="214"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Opening the front door reveals a signature indicating authenticity. There's another surprise. Here sits five 5.25" bays. This could well be a modder's dream. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/8big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/nzxt/8.jpg" alt="NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="300" height="225"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p>The front door has a row of flashing LEDs powered by this nicely routed and sleeved set of power cables. Details like this add to the greatness of this case. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/9big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/nzxt/9.jpg" alt="NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="300" height="225"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p>There are two slide doors on either side of the front bezel. The left reveals two USB 2.0 ports, the right, reveals multimedia hookups. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/10big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/nzxt/10.jpg" alt="NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="300" height="225"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p>Popping off the Guardian case's front bezel is easy enough. Pretty standard stuff here, besides the added 5.25" externally accessible bay. Two 80mm fan mounts would have been appreciated. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/11big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/nzxt/11.jpg" alt="NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="250" height="251"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p>This case is full of surprises. Pulling off the side panel shows built-in bay rails. These are a sweet addition, as they allow you to slide your device in and then lock it into place. It's that easy, and very nice indeed. As an added bonus, these rails are built into the bay. <p>To install a drive, line up the drive's screw hole with the drive bay holder. Snap it into place by pushing drive rail towards the front of the case. To lock it into place, push the down the thumb tab. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/12big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/nzxt/12.jpg" alt="NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="250" height="222"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p>Near the rear of the case are the fan holders as well as quick mount PCI slots. Don't despair, the PCI slots also have individual bolt holes for you as well. These slots will support taller cards. The fan holder uses angled slits to point the air directly towards your processor if using as intake fans. It will allow air to be pulled from the processor area if using exhaust fans. <p>The motherboard tray does not slide out, but it does support a full array of ATX mainboards. Still a removable motherboard tray makes for easier installs. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/13big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/nzxt/13.jpg" alt="NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="250" height="242"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p>Details of the bay rails. The Guardian case even supports rails for your hard drives right behind the front intake fan. This fan can be a bit hard to install because you must slide it in through the drive bay. Too bad the cage is not removable. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/15big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/nzxt/15.jpg" alt="NZXT Guardian Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="300" height="225"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p align="left">Rounded edges ensure that your fingers will not get cut. <p align="left"> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td><a href="atruereview/nzxt/index.php"></a> <a href="nzxt/index.php">Previous (Introduction & Exterior)</a></td> <td> <div align="right"><a href="atruereview/nzxt/guardian2.php"></a> <a href="nzxt/guardian2.php">Next (Finish & Conclusion)</a></div> </td> </tr> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer">  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
