NZXT Responds to GN's H1 Case Fire Coverage: New PCIe Riser, Formal Recall, & Refunds

NZXT has done a lot well here and deserves credit for it. At the same time, the severity of this issue can't be overlooked and it took a long time to get the correct actions. They're here now, though, so it's just a matter of roll-out for the formal recall, the PCIe riser replacements (launch date is March to April), refunds, and more. We were satisfied with the actions NZXT is now suggesting, but dissatisfied with some of its language and contradictions in the statement. This is definitely going in the right direction and we know it was hard to do for the company.
