Nexus Edge Review

Introduction

Published: 22nd April 2010 | Source: Nexus | Price: £135 | Author: Tom Logan

Introduction

Nexus was founded in 2000 by a group of experts specialising in heat conductivity and noise reduction. Over the last 10 years the founders have worked closely with many of the large companies in the industry to build up a vast knowledge of thermal characteristics and conductivity. This has enabled nexus to produce a wide range of products with a focus on great thermal performance and low noise.

Enter stage right the Nexus Edge which offers, in their own words, "great airflow, silence and plenty of space for a whole lot of HDD's and optical..." So lets move on and see the on paper specifications:

Head over the page for our first look of the Edge.

It is a grower, if it had a better front door/airflow then Id happily have used it for my server. I was VERY close to powdercoating the internals and using it if Im honest. For proffesional use it is very unique for a chassis to have all these features.

It looks good from the outside but the inside needs work. I got an Obsidian 800D which is huge but that case is even taller (but not as long). There isnt enough cable routing on that case either. It is a lot cheaper than my case though so its good for the money I suppose.

PS: Is the Corsair HX1000 supposed to make a low hissing sound when the hard drives are working. Its there all the time but it gets louder the more the PSU is being used.

Gosh this case is ugly.

Name me one with 9hdd mounts out of the box then. Its NOT a gaming case.

Li Lis pc-a71F has 10 mounts but is more expensive.

Even though i love lilis id seriously consider one of these as its a fantastic case and looks to be better on the sound with all that dampening foam!

Got this case, great for all the HDDs I need to install, but had to remove the front door as it REALLY hammers the airflow (got 2 x 5in3 IcyDock), with the door closed, my HDDs were hitting around 55C, with the door off, they are about 45C.

Also, to be very honest, I have worked with better quality cases than this, there are a lot of sharp edges, which I would have expected better for a case of this price, and the design is only average.

I have missed out on a Lian Li V2100 on eBay, which I would have love to have instead.

A V2100 instead.... Really? Using the bays in the bottom? Airflow is fairly low in thpse aswell tbh. The edge is function rather than form I agree, but as said in the review video i did question using this for my own server - I just didint have time to powdercoat it!
