When it comes down to a desktop computer chassis, most users generally take in consideration only the very basic design features. To be more specific, if a case looks cool, then it's considered proper for any high-end computer system. However, as most computer enthusiasts would know, a computer chassis must provide more than just "the looks," as it represents one of the most significant components in a computer.

In fact, it's computer cases that can sometime make all the difference between a high performance rig and a standard desktop computer. The explanation for that is simple: a chassis can provide a system builder with features related to cooling and durability and, as most computer enthusiasts will tell you, better cooling translates into a better overall computer system.

On that note, NZXT announced yesterday the upcoming availability of a new computer chassis designed to meet the requirements of gaming users. Dubbed Guardian 921, the company's new product has been built on an earlier Guardian case and incorporates a quite impressive number of features in a cool-looking design.

The sleek-looking Guardian 921 deals with a newly designed side panel, in the middle of which users and system builders can install a 120mm fan for better, silent cooling. The large chassis provides space for up to three 120mm fans and is equipped with a three-temperature probe monitoring system, which allows users to benefit from a high cooling factor. For more protection, the Guardian 921 has been built from .88mm and 1.00mm solid steel.

"With the Guardian 921, we've reached an optimal balance of pricing and performance." said Johnny Hou, Chief Designer at NZXT. "This chassis is perfect for the PC Gamer/enthusiast who's looking for a phenomenal building block for their new rig without breaking the bank." he further explained.

The new chassis retails for as much as $89 and is expected to go on sale later this month at various retailers.
