Case Exterior

 










The case was packaged very nicely. There was little movement for the case in the box during transit. The window is very reflective and shows enough of the innards while not over doing the fact there is a window.




Silverstone applied some tape to keep the doors shut during transit, probably the fear of the door flyingand catching something to make the door snap. However, the door is incredibly sturdy with the aluminum door and hinge.




The Nimiz is an impressive case boasting 6 external 5 ¼" drive bays. Perfect for those who enjoy a plethora of devices like rheobusses/fanbusses, optical drives, watercooling products like a reservoir, and etc.




On the top door, we see a black printed "SilverStone," unlike the Lian Li PC-V1000, which is placed discreetly on the case. Like the power button and such features noted in a later portion of the article.

The first picture is the metal used for the magnets to attach and stay shut because aluminum cannot be magnetized. One of the biggest drawbacks to these magnets (4 in total 2 for each door) is their strength. Tilt the case well below 90 degrees and the doorsup. There are two solutions for Silverstone, either more magnets of the same strength or stronger magnets. One negative side affect of having magnets so close could interfere with the normal operation of your computer. Currently, I am sure Silverstone has done a tremendous amount of work to ensure there will be no problems. Given enough time the public will see whether or not Silverstone will address this "problem."







Like the Lian Li PC-V1000, the power switch/LED, hard drive activity LED, a blue high intensity LED, and reset switch are discreetly placed on the case.




Under the mini door that covers the power button, we see a giant 120 mm fan filter that is knitted and catches most airborne debris to enter your case.




Right below the fan filter we see the Line Out/headphone jack, mic, 4 USB 2.0 ports, and 1 1394 a port.




Similar to the Antec Sonata, we see rubber feet to prevent 1) sliding and 2) vibration.







On both side panels, I found this white gunk that is probably a bonding agent when Silverstone rounded the edges and cut the aluminum to latch onto the case itself. A little elbow grease cleans this gunk, I used a towel to attempt to clean this extraneous matter, but a little water and a toothbrush would probably clean the side panels completely. I did not find any of this white stuff on the inside of the case.
