Three temperature display meter stopped working 1 week after delivery. Took a month to get it replaced, Their support department does'nt exist. I talked with what seamed to be the shipping mgt. To get it replaced also It took 4 phone calls & two weeks,each taking more than 30 mins. (Thank God for my MagicJack phone system)
After two weeks one of the legs (plastic)split. I reglued it myself.It is trimed in Aluimium which is on little plastic legs which glue into the case(hidden well)but where the legs have been attached there are very noticeable dents in the aluimium; 3 per strip/4 strips.The fan on top of case is poorly located. I put in a 800 watt power supply which is 2 1/2 inches longer than a standard supply. this covered up the fan portal by 1/2 inch. meaning I had to remove the fan for proper clearance.after 3 months I had to order 2 replacement 120 mm fans. They each have 3 strips of blue lights,On both fans one of the strips burned out. |

On the positive side, the Lexa is light, cool, quiet, and eye-catching. Here are the negatives:
1. The inside depth is a full 5 inches less than the posted depth. Naturally, whoever purchases an empty case does so in order to put stuff in it, so the inside dimensions are critical.
2. The internal threads of several of the screw holes around the case were stripped, so some of the plastic parts are loose.
3. The reinforcement rail that separates the PSU compartment from the rest of the case is permanently attached, which makes it impossible to remove the PSU without getting the MoBo out as well, which is time-consuming and risky.
4. One should not have to open up the machine to get dust filters out.
5. Computer fans with molex connectors are really anachronistic, aren't they? I understand legacy, I understand cheap, but this?!
6. Finally, the poor-excuse-for-a-manual supplied by NZXT makes most of the installation a mere guess. |

Overall this case is good for the price. It is very flimsy, though. Also the instructions are not very clear about the installation of the tool-less brackets. The top pin on the front door is made of plastic while the bottom pin is a solid metal shaft. When I was building my system I put a slight amount of pressure on the door and the top pin broke clean off. I was able to fix it with just a screw. The side window is also made of a very cheap plastic which feels as though it would snap under the slightest strain. The carrying strap is nice and the case is very light due to the aluminum material. It is a good case for my dorm, as I can carry it back and forth between my school and home easily. Overall this case is worth the price if you want a light and good looking case. |

What You Should Know
|

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or
installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you
may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!
Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards,
interface cards, connectors, and other components. Because of this,
the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to
allow these components to properly fit in the case. All you need to do
is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of
pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components. In this
way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the
satisfaction of building your own workstation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones
Kit or add components to a Computer Case. Some components need to be
assembled in a specific order. Also place the components in the case
temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made
to fit that component.

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.

How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
