    Product Description
    Computers have become less about word processing, and more about a multimedia center over the years. NZXT has moved with the times by creating the Duet. A return to the desktop style case makes it feel at home with the rest of your Multi-media components on your entertainment center. Simply install a TV Tuner card and you have the next level to entertainment technology! The case has a place for two DVD and/or Blu-ray disk drives to accommodate your video addiction, and a 3.5" drive bay for a multi-card reader so your camera and camcorders aren't left out of the mix. All of which are protected with style and strength by an aluminum door. It also has room for an amazing three hard drives internally for any programs you wish to record, or videos and music youve downloaded or ripped. For added convenience, there are two USB 2.0 ports, two Audio Ports, and a Firewire port up front for easy access, yet protected by an aluminum door. Building a perfect entertainment machine is a hot proposition. To compensate, NZXT has provided two 80mm fans in the rear. Welcome to the future of entertainment.

    1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed   May 21, 2008
    Techman55 (Tampa, FL USA)
    1 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I purchased this case for a HTPC I am building. Several reviews I read made mention of several areas of concern which included missing screws and parts. I dismissed them as being the exception rather than the norm. I was very mistaken.
    After waiting 2 weeks for the case to arrive, I was disappointed to find that indeed, a case screw was missing (not a big deal, internal fans were missing, and to top it off, the front panel hinge was broken. All this on what was supposed to be a new case!
    I would strongly recommend choosing another case, as quality control is a foreign term to NZXT.

    Amazon's customer service was very friendly and very quick to RMA the case and issue me a full refund.



    4 out of 5 stars Nice case for the price   May 8, 2008
    R Han (MI)
    I took my old Dell Dimension desktop and put it into this case. The case is nice for the $80 price. It is pretty tight inside. I had to replace the existing fans with larger ones on the side mounting points because the motherboard would hit the back mount. This is a Dell specific issue though (and there are a lot of Dell specific issues like non standard connectors). The front of the case is aluminum and has a nice heavy feel to it.
