When buying a case enthusiasts must balance between cost, aesthetics, and build quality. Normally you can only have two of these three things but on rare occasions companies produce a case that has all three properties in one case.

Great expandability for cooling; Looks great; Great features for the price; Has USB 3.0 headers; Can hold video cards up to 13" long

None of the intakes have filters on them; Initial cooling ability could be better; One sided tool-less mechanisms

The dust has settled after the huge splash of the NZXT Phantom, the silence was taken by the H2 - what now? The Source series of cases aims to take on the budget market, but still offer the distinct NZXT looks we have come to expect. How does it turn out?

The NZXT Source 210 Case is targeted at the budget market, but it has great looks and features. This case is also available in two colors, black and white. If you're looking for an affordable case with style, this just might be it.

The NZXT Source 210 Elite reminds me of November 15, 2001. Why? Well, that was the day that the word "elite" would have more than one meaning. The fact Halo was released almost ten years ago is starting to make me feel old, and I'm not even that old yet.

NZXT is now offering a budget minded chassis from their Classis Series in the Source 210 Elite - and in white!

This budget case is simply fantastic. It is sturdy, does not feel cheap, and it is aesthetically pleasing. In addition to all of that, it was extremely easy to build in as well, which was great for me, as this case was part of the first computer build I've done.

I built a computer a year and a half ago with this case and it is still working flawlessly. I like it so much, I am currently using another one to build my son's computer, so I figured I'd write a review. This case is almost "future-proof" with USB 2.0 and 3.0 headers on the front of the case.

Spacious; USB 3.0; two fans; smooth edges; durable

No cons at all

Excellent case, took a minute to figure out the "toolless" attachment features. Good space for wires. btw, the initial ship time was like 2 weeks. It arrived FedEx in 1 week.

KitGuru says: A solid budget offering from NZXT.

Great value; USB3.0 support; Cable routing support; Black painted interior; Attractive design

No intake fan; Poor quality hard drive brackets; Noisy fans

The NZXT Source 210 Elite isn't a bad-looking case, but its build quality is decidedly budget. Its front panel is fairly minimal, with just one USB3 and one USB2 port and separate headphone and microphone jacks nestled above the case's three 5.25in external drive bays.
