Features and Futurities
You know, when I first opened up the packaging of the Rogue I could not help thinking ... this is just an awesome LAN Party case design. I'm really not into the entire Lan Party fragging thing, but I do understand the dynamics and fun it'll bring. A couple of friends and acquaintances for example once a month meet together with a whole bunch of people and start playing games against each other for an entire day. Fantastic experience but carrying around a fully equipped PC all the time must be a drag for sure.
This is one of the things where a Micro ATX design PC comes in handy. It's usually easy to carry around and even comes with a "bag" to carry it. Though the sheer weight of the Rogue is more than average and close to 9 kilogram. Next to that it just looks really sweet. But this is by no means a case that only gamers should be interested in though.

A Micro ATX Pictorial
M'kay then, lets have a good look at the product tested today.
After opening the box we notice that the NZXT Rogue chassis has been packaged quite well. There's no way it can be damaged unless someone seriously would drop that box. It's free from the cardboard and at upper and lower side protected in foam.
The first glimpse, ladies & gentlemen .. the Rogue. And yes, for SSF case standards, this thing is rather big.
