Summary
The Lexa S has its high points, and its low points. Its aesthetic appeal is incredible, its included 4 fans is very nice, to say the least, and its included fan speed controllers are nice, though the included fans are very, very quiet (and they can push some air!), I can see the fan speed controllers being very useful for radiator fans, should you decide to go with watercooling.

The Lexa S has some room for improvement, clearly. It's clear that NZXT intended well, as they did include features to allow for wire management, but they simply weren't beefy enough to allow all my wires to be hidden, but a modular PSU should be OK. An area through which one can run the CPU power connector  would be a most welcome addition.

The Lexa S is a good case for what you pay; fans aplenty, very sleek, attractive aesthetic, nice to work in, but can be a pain to wire. If you're looking for an attractive LAN case to drag around, or even to maybe put WC into (which would look awesome through the window with some cold cathode lights), then look no further. Wiring complaints aside, this is a superbly crafted case at a great price.
