Taking our attention now to the inside of the case, the space inside our Tempest EVO is rather generous. This case caters for E-ATX form factor, so if you have ATX or even mATX board there will be a great deal of space for graphics cards. The motherboard may not be removable but it does include an extra-large cut out for accessing the motherboard back plate. NZXT have really thought about cable management with the Tempest EVO by giving the gaps for slipping your cables through a nice rubber sleeve. This keeps the cabled tight and concealed.



Case enthusiasts will be pleased to see that the interior is entirely black for a stealthy look – helping to make the insides look cleaner.

At the bottom of case is where the PSU will be mounted. There are 4 rubber plugs to seat the unit. Underneath is a filter that can be removed and cleaned.



Mounting optical drives is quite simple. You should already be familiar with the mechanism that the Tempest EVO takes advantage of. Simply slide in the drive, turn the key and the device is locked into place.



As I’ve already mentioned there are six fans within the Tempest EVO. Two 140mm at the top of the case, a 120mm rear exhaust fan, two 120mm fans at the front of the case. The top fans are mounted into cavities to keep them away from components which is a great idea.
