NZXT Hush!

I’ve been looking for a new fairly cheap desktop computer mid-tower case for a while now to replace my two and a half year old trusty but heavy and a bit noisy ThermalRock Dragon. A few days ago I ran into the NZXT Hush, and ultra silent and sleek looking case (picture below), which sounded very convincing in theory.

After reading dozens of reviews of Hush and other mid-tower cases like the Thermaltake Armor Junior, I was torn on which case I should buy. Then YouTube and 3DGAMEMAN came to the rescue, when I found this great video review of the NZXT Hush case. The bloopers in the end (and in most of 3DGAMEMAN’s great videos) are hilarious :D!

Hearing the quietness with my own ears really convinced me that the Hush was the way to go, so I put in an order at Jimm’s PC-Store on Sunday. On Monday the stock amount had gone from six to negative five, so I though I would have to wait for it for a few weeks. Today to my surprise I got an email from Jimm’s saying that my order can be picked up from their store in shopping center Arabia. So tomorrow I’m getting a brand new computer case, FUCK YEAH =)! First I’m gonna test it with my old components (ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, Athlon 64 3500+, 1 GB ram, 2xMSI 6600GT 128 MB, Levicom Visible Power 450W), to see how well it performs and so I don’t have to use my parents laptop to go online while my new PC (ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus, Core 2 Duo E6550, 2 GB ram, 2xASUS 8600GT Silent 512 MB, FSP Epsilon FX600-GLN 600W) is down for the upgrade. So I have some good times ahead, since I like playing with computer hardware, I'll have a backup PC excellent for LAN gaming with friends, and my new PC will probably be noticeably quieter and less heavy, yay!
