Introduction

The latest addition to the NZXT Crafted Series is sure to attract many in the gaming culture. The NZXT Guardian 921 is similar in design to the original Guardian case with a more futuristic and sleeker look. The case comes available in high gloss black and comes equipped with three 120mm fans, two of which have a blue LED. I used to see the NZXT Guardian multiple times at LAN parties and I think with the sleek redesign I think I'll start to see the NZXT Guardian 921 more this winter LAN season.

Packaging

The Guardian 921 comes packaged in a semi standard color for NZXT, black. The front of the packaging displays a picture of the case and a zoomed in image of the side window. The other side shows the same picture case as the front side as well as the features of the case.


The case is protected inside the box by two pieces of hard foam. The case is also wrapped in plastic and additional covers are stuck on the front and sides of the case.
