The AZZA Genesis 9000 is a big case, even for a full tower, and for this reason it will arrive in a very large box. With its large size you can expect the Genesis 9000 to weigh a fair amount and, well, it does. At 36lbs, the AZZA Genesis 9000 is a fairly heavy computer case. Try not to be to astonished by how large the Genesis 9000 is after removing the case from the packaging; at 21.5 inches it's a tall case.
The AZZA Genesis 9000 not only looks impressive, but thanks to the quality of its construction, it feels that way too. The Genesis 9000 is not only one of the heaviest cases I've ever had the pleasure of working with, it is one of the most well designed as well (in my opinion). The front of the case features four blue LED strips and nine 5.25" drive bays, two of which are hot swap HDD bays. Also located at the front of the case is the front power supply bay, but the user can still opt to install the PSU in the back of the case if desired/required. In fact, the Genesis 9000 supports two PSU's at once! The side panel of the AZZA Genesis 9000 features a small blue acrylic window, as well as vents for two 230mm blue/red LED cooling fans and an optional 230mm fan.
The opposite side panel lacks a window, but still features two vents for 230mm fans! The rear panel of the case is far more interesting, particularly with all its thumb screws! Here you will find nine expansion slots, as well as the various holes for water cooling. The motherboard tray is also removable. It's been a while since I've worked on a case with this feature, yet it's one I definitely appreciate so AZZA certainly scores some kudos there!

still feels incomplete without a comparison to the HAFs.
As for the HAF comparison, I unfortunately no longer had the HAF X when the testing for this case was done. Looking at the numbers though, it's probably comparable to them. If anything one would just perform a few degrees C better then the other.
TBH when they do the under-the-hood reviews for things like the graphics card, where they completely dismantle the casing, which for normal people would void warranties, I'd imaging the company wouldn't want the card back, unless it's one of their 'reference' cards or something for the series that just so happen to get sent out everywhere for display purposes or something.
For the comparison, my idea of overhauling how comparison are made by having the results kinda placed in the product database should make comparions for products easier. I'm not talking about the forum mergers.
