NZXT Guardian 921 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case has a spacious interior solid construction that is built from solid .88mm and 1.00mm steel. The Guardian 921 has plenty of space for high-end video cards and up to four internal hard drives. Cooling is proved via three 120mm fans (front, side and rear), front and side fans have blue LEDs. The three probe monitoring system allows the user to constantly monitor temperatures within the system via a blue LED screen located at the top front of the case.

Multimedia and peripheral inputs are located on the left front side of the case (E-SATA, Intel HD audio, mic, and two USB 2.0 INPUTS). NZXT’s Guardian 921 is one of their latest additions to their Crafted Series and has elegant curves and a newly designed unique clear side panel. There are three external 5.25” drive bays, two external 3.5” drive bays, top mounted power supply, and has seven expansion slots. Case dimensions are (LxWxH) 20.5”x 8.1”x 18”.

The Guardian 921 is another excellent ATX mid tower case with drive bay door from NZXT. The blue LEDs light up the front of the case giving it an almost alien robot look. The side LED fan does a nice job of adding to the blue glow during that late night gaming session. Tool-less design makes component installation painless. The ability to monitor CPU, Graphics Card, and System temperatures is a nice feature.

NZXT’s Guardian 921 ATX Mid Tower Case is another case by NZXT that you either love or hate because of the door on front or the unique design. The interior is spacious, but the overall width of the case will restrict the size of hard drive cooler. So, make sure the hard drive cooler you want to use will fit. Another small issue with the guardian 921 is that the internal hard drives require you to bend the E-SATA cables to an almost uncomfortable angle to allow for the side panel to slide closed.

The case cools adequately running a high-end video card and a CPU that isn’t over-clocked. However, there are no other mounting areas provided to add additional fans for the additional cooling for those of you who want to over-clock your CPU and/or graphics card. Replacing the three 120mm fans that come with this case with fans that push a lot more air is the easiest way to provide some extra cooling.

Overall this is a very nice case, so if you like the way it looks buy it.
