Construction

As we mentioned in the introduction, the main difference in the two models is the materials that they are made of. The Nemesis is made of a combination of steel with a plastic bezel and tool-less devices, and a piece of aluminum as the shield on the bezel. As we felt around the inside of this model, we found no sharp edges proving a well-constructed chassis.

The Nemesis Elite is constructed from a combination of aluminum for the case's main structure and plastic for the front bezel and drive rails. Of course, the aluminum construction makes the Nemesis Elite extremely lightweight at just over 14lbs.

    #18: that is HILARIOUS!

    #30: Yes you can possibly make a case this ugly...and they did.

    Every year cases are getting more freaking ugly and extreme in design.

    I just stick with the basic Lian-li designs...even some of the Lian-li cases are getting pretty damn ugly.

    Like a few others, I did not even read the article after I saw the ugliest case I've ever seen in my life.

    Erm, why does this article appear truncated? When I view the last page, it ends:

    "[...] then why spend $120 on something similar? We may surprise many of you with our final decision. For those who enjoy these custom-modded cases from the factory, then aesthetically"

    That's it! Were the words after that censored? :p

    Thanks, Anand, for putting a stop to this...I wanna see some "adult" cases...not lego cases.

    It's official, someone managed to beat Thermaltake in the "make the ugliest case possible" contest.
