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.

You are %100 correct. I did not even go past page 1 after seeing pictures of this Voltron looking pos case.semo - Saturday, February 5, 2005 - link
is it me or does anandtech not listen to its readers... a lot of us want to see non-gimicky decent funtional cases, for example, cases designed for water cooling, cases designed for lots of room, cases designed to be quiet (btx? (just a suggestion, not looking for trouble)), all of the above and so on.not saying to stop review those .... umm, argh.. i-don't-even-know-what-to-call-'em-anymore cases. some ppl like those cute ugly things
what do you think Purav. i'm not being unreasonable, am i?
