Internal Design of Nemesis Steel Model
Since the internal layouts of each case are completely different, we will start off by examining the steel model to explain fully the features of each case.
Nemesis
It is obvious when we open the steel model Nemesis that except for the aluminum armor plate on the bezel, the structure is made completely of steel. At the front of the case, we see the drive bays, five 5-1/2" bays as we saw from the bezel, and a total of five 3-1/2" bays, one of those being external. Tool-less mounting devices have been implemented in this model and seem to be the exact locking mechanisms that NZXT had implemented in the Guardian. They are purple in color and extend over all five 5-1/4" bays and two out of the five 3-1/2" bays. The bottom three bays reserved for HDDs use drive rails that are also included with the package.
Nemesis
Moving to the back of the case, we see that NZXT has also decided to implement rotating clips on the expansion slots like we saw in the Guardian as well as the Centurion 5 from CoolerMaster.
Nemesis
The power supply mounting area is easily accessible and will accommodate a power supply of any size. There is a strong platform on which a heavy unit can sit for added support and reduced stress on the case's structure.

The worst bit is this case isn't all that bad, they just had to piss all over it by putting an ugly front on it... I don't get why any manufacturer would do that...ElFenix - Sunday, February 6, 2005 - link

Can you do nice case designs in the future... I would love to see reviews on more Lianli and antec cases... also what these two manufactures have in the budget line (-$100 cases)I think alof of people find these cases ugly... but Its nice that manufactures do make unique designs at least it keeps things fresh.

thank you for that, anand! i'm yet another that is sick of ugly, loud cases.Rand - Saturday, February 5, 2005 - link
You know, it's odd... but I think the 3 nicest looking cases I've seen reviewed on AT were all priced under $30.I'm not sure whether that makes me really cheap, or the fancier cases horrendously misdesigned.
"but I'd rather review nothing than do any more of these."
You know your get crappy parts for review when when you'd rather review nothing. :)

#13 and others...Will you buy and send a case that you like to see to AnanTech for review?
If not, then how do you think they will ever be reviewed?
