  • Frontpanel lighting is a disaster.

  • But only the smallest of fingers could actually fit in there to tighten them

  • No removable motherboard tray
  • Front IO placed on wrong side of case
  • External design flaws still exist from the original Lexa design that NZXT needs to correct.

  • Overall, the Lexa Blackline is a downer. Despite its good looks, the build quality is hopeless. Cheap plastics and metals are everywhere. The Lexa Blackline does come with 4 fans, but those fans arent placed in particularly good spots. And it does com...

  • The Lexa Blackline maintains the same features as the original Lexa, except that its made out of steel, providing a lower cost and more strength at the expense of weight. The case looks great, and provides all the necessary features of a mid tower ca...

  • Abstract:  In January of 2006, Darren here at the club had the pleasure of reviewing the original NZXT Lexa, the latest entry in NZXTs Classic series. Darren liked it enough to give it a 9.5, so NZXT is obviously doing something right. Fast forward to Au...

  • Now, I know that users rarely change out motherboards and PSUs, but tool-less means that no tools are required. I had to use a screwdriver remove panels before I could install those parts. I applaud NZXTs cable rack-it helps and certainly completes t...

  • Lately there have not been many cases that have truly excited me. I have yet to figure out exactly what grabbed my attention with the NZXT Lexa Blackline Performance Midtower ATX Case, but the sleek design of a black case with red accents really appeal...

  • Durable steel construction; Fierce combination of black finish and red lighting; Pre-drilled holes for water cooler systems; Improvements made over the original Lexa design.
  • External design flaws still exist from the original Lexa design that NZXT needs to correct.
  • The Lexa Blackline improves on a strong NZXT design and makes a strong case to house your gaming PC.

  • Unlike the original Lexa, is steel, and doesnt have the cool carrying strap.
  • The NZXT Lexa Blackline is an impressive case. It looks nice, has some really great stock cooling, has a cool temp monitoring system (for someone that likes them), has “swinging” side panels instead of the “sliding” panels that I h...

  • Front IO placed on wrong side of case
  • The NZXT Lexa Blackline looks just as great as the original Lexa, if not better. While this may be more based on personal preference, it should be noted that NZXT did everything to make a uniform case, with the plastic parts up top, the rear cage and t...
