 NZXT Rogue SSF chassis review

 By: Hilbert Hagedoorn Edited by Ant | Published: January 27, 2008  



Features and Futurities

You know, when I first opened up the packaging of the Rogue I could not help thinking ... this is just an awesome LAN Party case design. I'm really not into the entire Lan Party fragging thing, but I do understand the dynamics and fun it'll bring. A couple of friends and acquaintances for example once a month meet together with a whole bunch of people and start playing games against each other for an entire day. Fantastic experience but carrying around a fully equipped PC all the time must be a drag for sure.

This is one of the things where a Micro ATX design PC comes in handy. It's usually easy to carry around and even comes with a "bag" to carry it. Though the sheer weight of the Rogue is more than average and close to 9 kilogram. Next to that it just looks really sweet. But this is by no means a case that only gamers should be interested in though.

Features:

  • 3mm Outer Aluminum Frame protects and guards your internals from damage during LAN parties and transportation
  • Support for high end large video expansion cards
  • Open top window allows view of your system
  • Carrying Strap for LAN Go-ers and moving the PC
  • Supports ATX PSU and expands for larger PSU over 700W and all NZXT PSUs up to the Precise 1200W
  • Locking Door Mechanism for security at LAN events
  • Weight reduction through aluminum chassis
  • Great ventilation and cooling with 5 120mm fans
  • Removable Motherboard Tray
  • Supports E-SATA, Mic, Audio-in, 2 x USB 2.0

The Rogue has been designed in a way that's it's not too "flashy" but it simply looks cool and professional.

M'kay then, lets have a good look at the product tested today.

After opening the box we notice that the NZXT Rogue chassis has been packaged quite well. There's no way it can be damaged unless someone seriously would drop that box. It's free from the cardboard and at upper and lower side protected in foam.

The first glimpse, ladies & gentlemen .. the Rogue. And yes,  for SSF case standards, this thing is rather big.
