Product Description

Do you want your next computer to stand out from the crowd? Here's an ATX-compatible mid-sized tower that should do the trick. A large viewport lets you see the inner workings, illuminated by the 120mm LED fans on the side and rear. An empty slot is ready for the power supply that's right for you. Seven I/O slots and numerous drive bays give you room for expansion. It can hold large cards like the Nvidia 8800GTX and further, it's pre-drilled to allow for external water cooling! Two USB 2.0 front ports, two audio front ports and two Firewire (IEEE 1394) front ports make connections easy to reach. Screwless installation makes for faster installations and faster component swaps, and no tiny screws to get hopelessly lost.

Component Vault Design
The Lexa Blackline w. Blue Led has a stealth side window, no screws or rivets visible. The right side panel swings open and is held in place by a secure locking latch.

The Lexa Blackline's acrylic window sports a 120mm silent fan that moves cool air over the graphics card and the processor, significantly lowering the temperatures inside the chassis.120mm fan in it.

An Interior Made to Impress
The Lexa Blackline's side panels open like doors instead of the conventional sliding forward locking. There is room for five internal 3 1/2" drives. Both sets of drive bays are tool less, installation is accomplished by the typical plastic devices that lock into the screw holes on the sides of drives.

A screwless system makes upgrade integrating simpler. All expansion slots have a tool-less clip which swings out when you need to install an expansion card. Instead of the standard expansion slot brackets, the Lexa Blackline w. Blue Led has installed brackets that snap into the slots. Directly above the expansion slots are the pre-drilled holes for water cooling tubes. The 120mm exhaust fan installed in the back has Blue LEDs and is powered with a 4-pin Molex drive connector.

Lexa Blackline has four 5.25 drive bays, with the two 3.5 drive bays below it and room for five additional 3.5 hard drives at the bottom as well as a 80mm blowhole fan with mesh screen to keep dust out of your case.

While the below right image is of the three included thermal probes. They are marked for Hard Drive, CPU and System. The LCD on the front of the case labels the three temperatures for each of these probes.

Detailed Exterior Features
In contrast to the original Lexa design, which featured blue LED fans and LCD display, the Blackline is painted in a warmer color. With the red LED fans at the rear of the case and on the side panel, the glow compliments a red LCD display which gives temperature readings from the front.

True to the original Lexa form, the Blackline offers convenience for consumers who don't want to repeatedly open the door just to power on their system.

New to the list of features are the two pre-drilled holes with rubber grommets; a very simple and inexpensive feature to implement which gives computer enthusiasts and overclockers with liquid cooling to opportunity to mix function with affordable fashion.

Customer Reviews

I'd TRADE MY GIRLFRIEND FOR ONE OF THESE!!! Didn't have to but would have... lol ITS HOT!
Looked for months (no joke) for the perfect chassis that was a blend between elegant, hot, and had GAMER written all over it. Then I ran into this baby and fell in LOOOOOVEEE! Sleek outside, great options on LED color, Great Ventilation, and More than enough room for what I needed to make it one INCREDIBLE Gaming machine I could be proud of. The option for liquid cooling without having to drill my own entryZ also a big deal breaker for me. The price i got on AMAZON wasn't to shabby either, FREE SHIPPING and a cost of [...]y had me speed reading my credit card number to buy this thing! I DEFINITLY RECOMMEND!!!

James Bond would approve.
Pros: Very roomy, very stylish (best I've seen IMO), looks even better in person, magnetic door, 3 temp gauge, great airflow (5 spaces for fans, 6 if you include PSU!). Also includes keys to access the internals of the case! Pure eye candy.

Cons: One of the hind legs of the case broke when I tilted the case backwards. Reason: minimal reinforcement of the hind legs. But it's actually not that big of a deal. All I did was use some glue and handled the chassis with more care. It was my fault, so no need to dock points. Still 5/5.


I recommend this to anyone.

Awesome!!!!
plenty of space for my build, lots of drive bays. piano finish w/ blue led looks gritty as heck! cool blue led shows internal temps. Lots of fans, cools everything i got very well. and looks amazing, which is pretty much the reason i got it. has legs to keep it off the ground and well ventilated. good instructions manuel so i won't mess up. i would definitely buy again.
