Nexus Prominent 5 Case Review
Conclusions
Contents
The Nexus Prominent 5 is a beautiful option for users looking for a high-quality, feature-full case and are worried about noise. We could complain that the case doesn’t come with a rear fan, but it seems that it is targeted to users that will used a small sealed liquid cooling solution that requires you to install the radiator on the place of the rear fan. In summary, it is a good case, but a little bit too expensive, in our opinion.
