External Design
There are quite a few similarities between both flavors of the Nemesis. The first thing that sticks out is the metal shield bolted onto the bezel of each model. On the steel version, the shield is a brushed aluminum one whereas the Elite aluminum model's shield looks like it has a dark chrome coating. On the left side of the shield of both models is the "Nemesis" name in all uppercase lettering, which lights up when the system is powered on - subtle, yet innovative.
Nemesis (white, steel), Nemesis Elite (black, aluminum)
On the Elite mode, there is a small silver piece, which seems to be there just for show, but it is really an extension to the power button behind the door. This way it is not necessary to open the door to turn the power on. This is not the same for the steel version of the Nemesis, though. The door must be opened in order to access the power and reset buttons.

At the bottom of the bezel, we see four V-shaped vents, which allow air to be taken in. Above those vents, on the Elite model, is a V-shaped LED, which lights when the system is powered on. The color of the LED can be changed between red, blue, aqua, green and purple as well as a combination of blue/aqua, blue/purple, and red/green. The steel model does not have this feature along with many others that the Elite model has as we will see later.

Hey, be a little nicer to Anand and the other reviewers!They do a good job and procude good quality reviews, and here you come and say it is crap. =(
Sure, many readers (including me) asked for reviews of nicer, more elegant cases. But the truth may be that it may not be so easy to find. And those that do exist, well, it might not be possible to get review samples.
Have respect!

seriously, who buys this crap. I'd rather have a hp/compaq/dell case than this.Cygni - Saturday, February 5, 2005 - link
"It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review"Thats what i was thinking... if the case mft's want to move the more expensive ugly gimicky cases, thats what they will send out, im guessing. Although I agree, a watercooling review/round-up would be pretty interesting.

This is the last one, I put an end to that today. This is something I should've done a while ago but it's better late than never.It's often tougher to get the more normal looking cases to review, but I'd rather review nothing than do any more of these.
Take care,
Anand
