How do we love thee, Azza Genesis 9000 full-tower case? Let us count the ways. Is it your gorgeous, pearl-white (or charcoal) chassis? The thin, blue or red lit-up lines that adorn your body and provide us with fond memories of the oh-so-delightful...

This being the first case from AZZA that I’ve had the chance to review I am very impressed. Let’s start by talking about the size of this case. This is a full tower case no doubt, but I would call it a super tower, meant to be in the same category...

This behemoth full-tower chassis is a killer case for a no-holds-barred mega-PC, with an unusual motherboard tray you can flip for optimal cooling. (Given its weight, though, we recommend stretching before moving it.)...

Which ATX tower is the most elite? We invited more than two dozen brands to compete. Today, Azza, In Win, Rosewill, and SilverStone (the first four to respond), face off in a battle to out-do each other in price, features, performance, and pizzazz. The...

Video Review: The Azza Genesis 9000 Case is simply outstanding both in design and features. It has plenty of fans, lots of drive bays, ample room to work on the inside, motherboard try is removable and reversible, fits up to two PSUs, long video...

In case you haven't noticed yet, I absolutely love this case! AZZA definitely got it right when it came to the Genesis 9000 and unless you think it looks ugly out of the box, I can't imagine anyone being terribly disappointed with it. The AZZA Genesis...

The AZZA Genesis 9000 is not without its flaws. The fans on full speed are quite loud and the requirement to remove a fan to install a front-mounted PSU is annoying. The hot-swap bays are of dubious usefulness since they require you to remove the...

My thought on the Azza Genesis 9000 did not change after I had the chance to play around with it. It is built with so many added features it is hard not to like this case. And the quality that we have seen with all Azza definitely continues with the...

AZZA is a relatively new company when it comes to enclosures. Their major splash came with the Fusion 4000 enclosure (which we're still slated to review at some point in the future), a case that can house both a full ATX system and a secondary...
