Hi, welcome to CasekingTV. Today we present you the NZXT H2 midi tower.
The big pro on this case is its functionality.
Nevertheless very nice looking case, especially with it´s shiny front door.
Opposite to many cases with big mesh usage this case is totally closed on front, top and side panels.
These mesh areas not only have pros. The noise goes through as well as the intended air.
All noises from hardware could reach the outside unfiltered.
Closed cases don´t have this problem. The H2 is intended as a silent case.
To dampen it more NZXT installs noise dampening mats in the front and the side panels.
Supporting the silent character you find a fan control in the top of the case,
which is controllable in 3 steps. Less RPM on the fans makes less noise.
On same level the front panel, 3 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB 3.0, 1x eSata and 2 audio jacks.
Behind the panel you find a covered area, which hosts a Sata Hot-Swap.
You can use any 3,5" or 2,5" HDD or SSD drive for easy access.
You can then put the lid back on and even when running it is hidden elegantly.
Behind we see another lid, which covers a fan slot.
This on eis optional and can be fitted with a 140mm fan.
The solution is done very nice with the lid and supports the silent character.
In the front we find two 120 mm fans, which are installed in Hot Swap cages.
A very nice solution, you don´t need to install more cables.
Here you see the contacts, which have their opposites in the front of the case.
Just put the whole cage in and at once you can adjust the fan via the fan control.
Behind you find the 3,5" slots which are easy to use, toolless on 3,5" drives,
installed with anti vibration mounting.
2,5" drives can be mounted on the floor of the bracket.
The 5,25" slots are also fitted with an interlock. Very easy to use.
Let´s take a look at the inside of the case.
We can see the 3,5" slots in the front, which can be secured by thumbscrews,
so nobody could have access from the doorside. Important on Lanparties.
Alo with fast access and interlock system for the 5,25" slots.
We have a big backplate mounting hole, you can see the dampening of the side panel,
Although a lot of space for cable management,
also with rubber embraced holes. Many options for cable management.
A very nice solution is the floor dust filter for the power supply and the fan,
easily detachable and of course washable.You can also just brush it.
USB 3.0 is also a nice solution. A pre installed hidden cable can be plugged into the mainboard right away.
That´s it for the first impression. If you want a silent case take a look at that one. Bye.
