When it comes to gaming cases, NZXT has quickly taken the interest of many
in the gaming community thanks to their highly unique product line.
Their cases certainly do stand out from a majority. This was apparent
with their highly popular Guardian and Nemesis cases, which we had the
pleasure of looking at in the past. Their
latest offering though is the first in what they call their classic series and
they use just two words to describe it..."Just Sexy". The Trinity is
certainly sexy and does provide just enough features to satisfy a majority
of users. Let's take a thorough look and see if we can say
the same on its build quality, features and cooling performance.

While
we usually don't go too much into detail regarding packaging of products, I
do make an exception at times with cases. This is simply because I
have personally had bad experiences with them in the past. The Trinity
comes in a black box with lots of information on its included features.
Considering the side panel window and the front mirror-like finish are
indeed the most impressive, they certainly do well in protecting them.
The case comes with protective plastic film on both the side panel as well
as the highly appealing steel-plated front panel.

Now, while the box was clearly marked as having the optional PSU unit, I was
quite surprised to find it was indeed missing. Strange, considering
they did supply a power cable. Aside from that, it comes with a brief
instruction manual and box that includes a bag of hardware, screws, a peizo
speaker and plenty
of drive rails.

I'll start by saying that the Trinity is a digital camera's worst nightmare.
All this shiny plastic was incredibly hard to depict properly in pictures.
With that said, all pictures were taken in a well lighted florescent environment with
no flash and a very steady hand. The front, is by far, the most
appealing in terms of design. The side window also looks great,
although I'm not a fan of chrome plastic as it makes products look cheap.
That's just my opinion though and many may disagree. The back is
fairly standard, with one exception which I will get to later.
