NZXT’s ‘Bunker’ Helps Protect Your Peripherals at a LAN

Of all the events that exist on this earth, LAN parties could be considered the most fun. There’s nothing quite like getting together with a huge group of friends and a bunch of people you don’t know and geek out for an entire weekend, drinking energy drinks and sharing laughs. What’s not so funny though, is coming back to your PC after a washroom break to see your peripherals missing.

Though LANs should literally be just fun and games, having your kit stolen is a real issue, and one that companies such as NZXT, Cooler Master and others have considered. Some gamer chassis available have built-in features to help protect your peripherals, but NZXT has gone one-step further in order to deliver the same kind of security regardless of the chassis you own.

The product is “Bunker”, and it fits cleanly into a 5.25″ drive bay. It features a cover that opens up after a key is inserted, and avails four USB 2.0 ports. You need to open this door, plug your peripherals in, then close and lock it up. In that configuration, the USB cables simply can’t be removed, meaning that it’s useless for anyone to try stealing them.

Sure, someone could steal your entire PC, but that’s even rarer than seeing peripherals go missing, and I’d be hard-pressed to see someone run out of a building with a tower and slew of peripherals dragging along the floor behind them! At around $25, this is an inexpensive way to add some real protection to your PC while at a LAN.

Introducing the Bunker, NZXT’s 4 USB Lock system, the first PC accessory contrived for USB expansion and protection of gaming accessories. Plug in gaming mice, keyboards, and headphones and lock it with a sophisticated 20 key lock system and durable locking door to prevent theft at LAN parties and schools. Secure your gaming accessories, game on assured.
