NZXT Source 210 Elite Review

Exterior

The front of Source 210 Elite has a plain fascia with a matt finish to it. The appearance is that of brushed aluminium but this is plastic. The NZXT emblem can be seen in the bottom left corner, above we have a large power button and smaller reset button. 3x 5.25” drive bays and at the very top are the front panel controls. We will look a little closer at these further down the page.

Spinning the case round to look at the rear – we have an opening at the bottom for mounting the PSU. Above this there is a ventilated mesh panel and 7x PCI expansion slots, the covers do not have ventilation holes. Above this we have the mesh panel for the 120mm rear exhaust fan.

Taking a closer look at the front panel connectivity we have a limited number of ports here due to the fact that NZXT are classifying this case as a budget offering – to keep the costs down some elements need trimming down. So here we have a headphone and microphone jack and a single USB3.0 and single USB2.0 port. The USB3.0 port will connect to a USB3.0 header on the motherboard, if you have one.

On the underside of the case we have 4 rubber feet to prevent the case from slipping. The PSU has no dust filter.
