Ballistics Report

Pros

Sleek Design:Modest lighting and a nice matte finish help the Guardian 921 look great, without being just another rice rocket for computer cases.

Cooling: 3 120mm fans help keep even high-end components nice and cool, without sounding like a wind tunnel.

LCD Temperature Gauge: An add-in temperature gauge is usually extra, but NZXT has conveniently included one built-in to the top of the case.

Price: Currently retailing for around $100, the Guardian 921 is a steal thanks to its great functionality and design.

Tool less design: Installing components has never been easier thanks to the click-lock 5.25” bay drives and rail based hard drive cage.

Cons

LCD Accuracy: While having the gauge is handy, it does seem to have trouble keeping up with fast temperature spikes and swings, so it won’t replace your software monitoring solutions. Also, since the probes are external, you’re not getting an accurate reading of the die temp, only what’s being transferred to the heatsink.
