The 10 Coolest PC Components Of 2008

The NZXT Tempest

This is one chassis that deserves to be on a list of "cool" components. Billed as The Airflow King, the Tempest is a black, steel, midtower case with a total of six included fans. There are two 120mm intake fans in the front, two 140mm exhaust fans on the top, and additional 120mm fans on the side and rear. Like most gamer-focused cases, the left panel has a window. Continuing with the airflow theme, there are holes next to the motherboard tray that allow for the routing of excess cabling under the board. This makes for a neater-looking and cooler system. Other cooling-based features are a bottom-mounted power supply (not included) and eight server-like hard drive bays situated behind the front fans. Additionally, for liquid cooling solutions, there are grommet-filled holes in the back and the Tempest is pre-drilled to mount a dual radiator at the top.
