NZXT Apollo Gaming Case Fire it up! Installation went without a hitch. Everything fit, there were no surprises and except for the normal amount of cussing while routing cables out of sight, we were good to go.
What I didn't realize was the Apollo has a couple of nice blue LED light up front on either side of the grill design. Not only does this look nice, but it also gives off a glow on the underside of the case. It's pretty slick looking in a dark room. Conclusion The conclusion for a case review can sometimes be the hardest part to write about. Quite a bit of the review is always going to be based on the reviewer's personal opinions of the looks and design style of the case. With the Apollo case, NZXT has delivered up something that should appeal to quite a few people out there. Its design coupled with it's low price tag is going to make for an attractive deal for someone looking for a pre-modded case. As configured in the review, the case comes in at $70 smackers and if you add the optional 400W power supply, you're still looking at less than $100. The included fans for this case are very, very quiet; just like the Lexa. The tool free design of the drive bays and expansion slots is definitely always going to be a plus and NZXT's way of doing it makes things very simple (and I always like simple). Coming into this review, my expectations were extremely high considering how much the Lexa impressed me. I have to say that while this case doesn't have all the sleek lines and features that the Lexa has, it also doesn't have the same price tag either. So, after balancing everything out I will say that I'm still very impressed with NZXT and their design and construction team. The last thing I'd like to comment on is the color. While NZXT offers this case in silver, black and blue as well as orange, I have to say that the orange is nice looking and probably the color that I would recommend for this case. Pros:
