Computer cases may not come across as the most important piece of hardware, however it is definitely one of the main components that users get used to seeing on regular basis. Users also shouldn't downplay the factors that should be considered when they are in the market for a new case: appearance can be one of them, but thermal performance is important as well. Users also need to make sure that the case will be large enough to fit all of their components. Like many manufacturers, AZZA hopes to deliver on all of the above through their lineup of cases, available in just about every form factor.
Today we will be taking a look at one of AZZA's higher end full tower cases, the AZZA Genesis 9000. The Genesis 9000 is priced fairly high at $170, but the price tag is not particularly suprising or unique considering how expensive full tower cases can be. The Genesis 9000 comes in two colors, white and black, with the latter variation running $10 cheaper.

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.
