| Legit Reviews | I’m not quite sure what to think of the Rogue. It’s not quite a traditional SFF case, not really a traditional tower case either; it is, however, unique. With the aid of plastic or even 100% aluminum construction I think the case could have been a whole lot lighter. The steel frame makes it durable, and durable is good for those going to LAN parties. The Rogue can be found for $149 plus shipping and tax.At this price point the Rogue is almost twice the price of an X-Qpack or even the popular Themaltake Lanbox. The features of the Rogue, though, may be enough to justify the extra money. The Rogue and the Lanbox are very similar in size and features, but the Rogue is easier to install parts into, has better airflow, and can even accommodate a large tower cooler. If the silver with blue LED lights is not your style, the Rogue is also available in black with red or blue LED lights. | 2008-10-16 | |
| PlanetX64 | personally liked the Rouge, it is a very well put together case, although you are forced to use a MicroATX board you still have many options for making a very powerful system.NZXT put some good thought into making the Rouge easy to work with. By being able to remove both side panels and the mainboard tray you will have plenty of room for even the largest hands. The space for four 120mm fans setup in a push pull configuration guarantees that there will be good airflow for you system. The locking front door will keep people out of it. And the included carrying harness will let you lug it around wherever you need to go. The Rouge will easily find itself at the top of any high-performance SFF PC builders list of parts. | 2008-10-06 | |
| Pro Clockers Highly Recommended | Pro-Clockers | NZXT has given the world one of the best small form factor cases on the market today. The construction is definately unmatched by any of SFF case with its thick aluminum panels. The cooling options are another reason why we like the Rogue. NZXT did not waste one inch of side panel as there are a total of five 120mm cooling fans divided between the sides and the rear. Its not that even we see this in large ATX cases. There is alot of room inside the Rogue. In the case of the Rogue I can say there is too much room. Once the case is fully assembled that is alot of area territory. I would have like to see this area opened up to support a regular sized ATX motherboard. Wishful thinking I guess. But the open area does allow for better cooling inside especially when you have larger video cards and warm attracting chipsets to help cool. | 2008-09-25 |
| 3dGameMan Kick Ass Award | 3D GameMan | The NZXT Rogue SFF Case comes in a black and silver color, is all aluminum, has two 5.25" drive bays, one external 3.5" drive bay and 4 HDD bays. The top and side panels can be remove as well as the motherboard tray. Three 120mm fans are included and two more optional 120mm can be installed if added ventilation is required. It also fits long video cards. This is one the best SFF cases on the market. | 2008-09-02 |
| Excelente | Hard-H2o | Rogue es perfecto tanto para un PC de salón, por su forma cúbica, como para el equipo más gamer, compatible con gráficas y fuentes de gama alta. Entre otras características figuran bandeja extraíble para una instalación más cómoda y un gran sistema de ventilación. | 2008-04-18 |
| MetKu Mods | The carrying harness is a great bundle for a "gaming" case and the NZXT fans are very quiet. Aesthetics come down to personal favors, but so far I haven't found too many people who wouldn't like the looks of brushed aluminum.More generally taking a close look at the Rogue was also a crash-course to cube cases. | 2008-02-04 | |
| 8/10 | Techgage | Overall I think NZXT built a nice case with the Rogue...If you're looking for something that is a different than the norm, then the Rogue may be for you. The case is well built, though a bit heavy. The carrying strap makes what would be an awkward case, simple to carry......The Rogue is capable of fitting pretty much anything you could imagine putting in it. Living up to its slogan of "Enormous Power Within". | 2008-01-18 |
| 8.3/10 | Benchmark Reviews | The NZXT Rouge SFF chassis is a case that really impressed me from the beginning. I loved the size and the room that was available to me to work with. It is a great looking case that could sit right on top of your desk and impress anyone that looks at it. The construction is very solid and really high quality finish in and out. The case is not as light as the other SFF cases but looking at the size it is not that heavy either. NZXT has crafted a very high quality product when it comes to construction. | 2008-01-09 |
| Driverheaven's Editor's Choice | Driverheaven | "The build quality of the Rogue is very good, it is very spacious for an SFF case and the thermal performance is extremely good with the form factor in mind. Everything considered this chassis earns our Editor�s Choice Award, as it is one of the best SFF cases money can currently buy." | 2008-01-03 |
| Testix | Wir dürfen wieder ein Gehäuse aus dem Hause NZXT. in unserem Testlabor begrüßen. Das Rogue Super Cube soll besonders für Gamer interessant sein. Auf kleinem Raum lassen sich ein Micro-ATX Mainbord, ein Netzteil (es darf auch länger als gewöhnlich sein) und sogar überlange Highend-Grafikkarten einbauen. Für Laufwerke ist ebenfalls mehr als genug Platz. Das Ganze lässt sich dann auch noch praktischerweise mit dem im Lieferumfang enthaltenen Tragesystem bequem auf jede LAN-Party mitnehmen. | 2007-12-17 | |
| OverClocker Cafe Recommended | OverClocker Cafe | NZXT's slogan of 'crafted gaming armor' truly fits the Rogue case. A solid and worthwhile design with extras to make the most demanding user happy. As far as a highly portable LAN rig it is hard to beat. Multiple drive bays, it takes extended length VGA cards and power supplies, easy access to the interior components at will all blend with the sturdy looks of this 3mm thick aluminum all business look. The carrying strap and lighting only add that much more. | 2007-12-16 |
| Virtual Hideout Recommended Gear | Virtual Hideout | the NZXT Rogue is truly in a class of it's own as I've personally never reviewed anything like it. It's Solid. It's Super Cool. And it's very quiet even with 5 120mm cooling fans plus power supply. It's exterior design is subtle and clean if not a bit bland for some. | 2007-11-29 |
| 5/5 | Club OverClocker | NZXT has done a great job on the Rogue SFF case. The case is light weight, well built and all aluminum. It's the largest SFF case that we have ever seen, but that's not a bad thing. You still have the portability of a SFF but room for all of the things you want in your mid-tower. It has room for 5, 120mm fans and the fans that came with it were very quiet. Some might think that a true gaming case needs crossfire or SLI. I honestly think the case may be big enough for that, but I couln't find any micro-atx boards that support Cross-fire or SLI. I'm not going to hold that against the case. You really can't ask for anything else in a SFF Gaming case and I didn't have a single complaint about it. Club Overclocker Recommended! | 2007-11-29 |
| OCIA Seal Of Approval | OCIA.Net | If I was in the market for a LAN gaming rig I would want something small and light weight for portability, but big enough to hold high-end components such as video card and power supply. I'd want it to look good and be highly durable, with a good measure of security thrown in. I'd want it to be easy to carry around and easy to maintain. In short, I'd want something like the NZXT Rogue. | 2007-11-27 |
| 9/10 | Unique Rigs | We really liked the Rogue's clean SFF design, aesthetically pleasing Aluminum exteriors, interior cooling, removable motherboard tray, detachable PSU mount and roomy interiors. The price was a bit too high for our liking, however for what you're getting; it does justify the $150 price tag for a quality case. NZXT has always designed cases that would stand out, the Rogue does just that. | 2007-01-10 |
