We've seen some clever
NZXT computer enclosures
from time to time that were actually pretty nice from both their Classic and
Crafted Series. Of their enclosure line, the VH staff presented the
Tempest,
Rogue,
Lexa Blackline, and
Zero. All of them offered pretty clever designs as
well as some decent quality fabrication. If you haven't seen these cases before,
they're worth taking a look at. I would have to say, some are quite unique and
offer that special modified look enthusiasts really want.
Well, we have another enclosure that's not aimed at the enthusiast market per
say. Not everyone is out for the flashiest case with the most LED fans and
chrome to match. And, it doesn't have to have a window either. For these folks,
NZXT recently released the Whisper computer enclosure.
The concept of the Whisper has a lot to do with its name. Since, enthusiast
enclosures often offer a little bit of fan noise along with all the flash. The
Whisper is aimed at eliminating the common rattles and buzzing associated with
computer enclosures. This is good news for those who really don't like to hear
their components "thinking" or functioning while the system is active.
As a matter of fact, this could be good news to audio-video users who don't like
an audible system. There is a certain sense of refinement to computing when you
can't hear your system at all, or hardly notice it there. Take a look and see if
you the Whisper is something that can help silence those enormous graphics cards
and case fans.
