NZXT are certainly a company full of surprises. Although relatively new in the PC scene they have quickly made themselves well known worldwide. They are almost entirely focused towards enthusiasts, with no products in their range that can be classified as OEM equipment or even considered as an aftermarket “cheap” solution. NZXT designs and creates only high quality, innovative computer enclosures for discerning users who know exactly what they are looking for. Each of their previous designs aimed towards a specific user group; for instance the Nemesis is a flashy case aiming towards gamers and modders, while the Lexa is an elegant case aiming more towards design lovers.

Today we will take a look at another potential masterpiece from NZXT: the Adamas. The Adamas is not designed to be overly showy, or even very ergonomic. It is a very special kind of case, aiming exclusively towards hardcore enthusiasts. As you can pretty much guess from the name (which comes from the Greek word Adamant, which stands for unbreakable) it is supposed to be extremely durable. True enough even if the Adamas weights only 9kg, NZXT claims that it can support over 300lbs (>135Kgr), the weight of two average people! The Adamas is entirely made out of aluminum, front panel, frame and interior alike. And while most aluminum enclosures are barely 1mm thick, the Adamas has a 3mm thick frame and 2mm thick internal structure!
