The NZXT Guardian 921 is a very well balanced product which offers almost everything a gamer on a budget needs
Good cooling and unique appearance. We liked to see all three of the cooling fans pre-installed
And they were relatively silent during ope...

At the end of the day the unit is based on a simple steel case design. It is not a very spacious chassis and it is relatively heavy given its size. The HDD cage can only take 3 hard drives and that is not a high number by todays standards. The locatio...
Temperature monitoring included, Quick, easy installation and assembly, Efficient airflow design, Room for large GPU cards, Sleek design, Front mounted USB, eSATA, and audio ports, Affordable gaming case,
None
The NZXT Guardian 921 was a great platform to build a system on with assembly being a breeze. There were plenty of locations to provide cable management to keep the inside clean for appearance through the nicely designed window and to aid in airflow. ...
Distinctive look, Front temperature display, Some toolfree features, Good cooling, Good value
HDD cage impedes airflow, No cable management features, A bit cramped, Boring interior
With their redesigned Guardian 921 gaming case, NZXT has updated the look and features of the original Guardian while managing to keep its feel and tone. The “armored” look is still there and the updated visual elements are tastefully done, gi...
Abstract: A lot of companies recommend their products for one genre or another, and for me a case to be considered a “Gaming Case” it literally has to give me three things, great cooling, easy access to my hardware inside, and able to keep the noise level down. ...
Price, Quality Cooling, ToolLess Design, 3 x 120mm Fans Stock, eSATA, Multiple Fan Expansion Slots, Blue LEDs, Magnetic Front Panel, LCD Display, Sensors
Expansion Slot toolless Seems a bit Cheap
Over all the NZXT Guardian 921 did incredibly well for a mid tower case. I love all the little extras like the lcd display and the temp sensors. The over all design was great especially if you are a transformers fan as I mentioned before. The blue LED&rsq...
Unique design, toolless installation, Integrated temperature monitoring system, Quiet and roomy
No removable motherboard tray
I really liked working with the NZXT Guardian 921. It has a unique design that will appeal to gamers and enthusiasts alike. Minimalists will not be pleased with the bright LEDs and design elements but everyone will love the tool-less optical drive bays...
Overall system installation was flawless with the NZXT Guardian 921. Everything fit securely and easily most importantly, no fingers or epidermal layers were sacrificed in the overall handling of the chassis. If there’s one thing that’ll earn a case ...
Toolless design, 3 temperature probes included, 3 120mm fans included, ESATA front port.
Only 3 5 1/4" bays usable, Temp monitor is kind of ugly, Price.
The NZXT Guardian 921 isnt a bad case and has a lot of things going for it. NZXT has managed to tone down and refine the image of the Guardian to something thats a little more pleasing to the modders eye. The tool-less chassis and simple layout ar...
Unique design, Well placed LCD display, Well placed lighting aspects, Fairly fancy window, Three thermal diodes included, Basic screwless system, Three fans included, 3.5 inch to 5.25 inch drive bay adapter included, Fairly solid construction, Well packag...
Quite expensive, LCD display only shows full degrees, Only three 5.25 inch bays accessible from outside, Screwless system does not hold too well, A lot of plastic, Very basic interior layout
The NZXT Guardian 921 is an interesting looking case. The LCD display is well placed and can be easily read, while the door looks much like a shield. NZXT has designed a very nice case with a few interesting lighting aspects. With this case, you pay fo...
Abstract: Two weeks ago, I took a look at the NZXT Tempest case which was described as “an enthusiast’s steel tower.” NZXT has also sent us their Guardian 921 case, which I’ll be looking at today. NZXT calls the Guardian 921 “Power for Gamers,” which I assume me...
Looks really good, especially in the dark, Decent cable management features, Solid
Airflow, Low powered fans, The exhaust fan doesnt have LEDs, Only 3 fans included, A bit pricey @ $79.99
Moving to this chassis from an Antec 900, I believe this case has stood up to the NZXT brand name. Offering features like the LCD temperature read-out, and some decent cable management, NZXT did a great overall job with this one. When installing my co...
