    like a work of a
    This case is beautiful, it’s like a work of art, easily one of if not the most aesthetically pleasing cases out there. Building in this is a breeze.

    Great Case!
    Very easy to set up if you know what you are doing. Fans are reasonably quiet compared to most computer fans. Slight metal vibration, but I placed a magnet on the top and solved issue. Overall Great Product!

    For the money ... this case is superb!
    Cheap mid-tower case with built in RBG strips and fan controller unit. I’d never built a PC from the ground up before so wanted something user friendly and spacious … but also what’s the point of that process if things don’t look great and have a premium feel. I love this case. It looks amazing (if you like that boxy, plain aesthetic … like i do) and came with 2 NZXT fans (now in a box after being replaced) which was nice. It was a joy to build in as a noob … lots of space to move around, great cable management and touches like the radiator/fan mount behind the front panel were a great touch too. the bottom shroud hides the PSU nicely and allows for hiding wiring, even if (like me) you have a non-modular PSU. Went with an MSI ATX board (B450 Carbon Gaming Pro Z), Rhyzen 3600x, Vengeance RAM, MSI RTX 2060 GPU and the NZXT Kraken X52 AOI CPU Cooler. All fits wonderfully and there’s plenty of extra space if you wanted a larger radiator or AOI, or GPU (mine is 2 slots and not that long) and everything looks the nuts tbh. Only gripe would be the advertised vertical GPU slot … if you used it the gPU would be mms from the tempered glass side panel and thus get very choked … maybe you don’t mind that for the better looks of the vertical card … but it’s stupidly positioned … a gap of just 30-50mm would make this an actual viable option … maybe that’s why there’s no included PCI riser cable … they know no one will ever use it 🙂

    Probably the best case on here !
    This is one of the best cases I’ve ever bought, it’s gorgeous and so roomy great air flow even for a stock cooler I have 2 intakes and 2 outtakes plus lots of room for cable management as cables are hidden underneath what you can see from side of glass. Simple and easy to install you stuff into.

    Great quality
    This case is amazing to use if your going for a black and white build as I have done. The only down side for my unit that j received is that the side panel screw seems to have worn down and Cross threaded it’s self. But apart from the it’s such good quality. Perhaps is just my case that had the fault.

    Best all - rounder case
    The price may scare you but for what you receive I have no choice but to recommend for every PC builder out there. Whether it’s your 1st time or your 15th time, NZXT make some of the best cases for this price point. It’s spacious, it comes with bags of goodies saving you money on accessories and I can not stress this enough, has the best built in parts for cable management. The power supply is also hidden giving it such a clean and sleak look if simplicity is your taste.

    Lots of space makes it easy to put everything in.
    Lots of space, makes it easy to put everything in. The only issue i had with it were the screws, they were so hard to unscrew some i ended up mashing the tops up because they just wouldn’t budge. But still overall a great piece of equipment.

    Good quality! but couple of points to note
    NZXT H210 (standard)
    I’ll sum it up,

    PROS
    -This case is very good quality
    -It’s value for money
    -It’s premium
    -It’s easy to build in
    -Has very good cable management solutions
    -Good potential for water cooling
    -Plenty of ssd bays
    -good airflow

    HOWEVER

    CONS
    -the fans are three pin
    -the fans are VERY loud
    -the screws for the PSU adapater OMG are they hard to get off

    seriously, I’m not saying I’m the rock but compared to the others screws, these take some serious strength to get off. So the case comes with a SFF psu adapter and it’s already installed. So, like most people you will have an ATX psu which means this adapter installed, needs to come out, yes as mentioned. It’s blimming impossible to get off.

    CONCLUSION:
    this is a very attractive case, it’s easy to build in and is made of beautiful material that feels very high quality. The cable management is lovely and there is plenty of room for SSD’s and fans. The case comes with two standard, these however are very loud and not controllable so I would suggest replacing them with PWM ones. All in all it’s a very good case and I would recommend it.

    Great to Build in and good value for money, despite what most Youtubers will say.
    I did a lot of research before coming to my decision, I wanted the H510 Elite but at the price of 149.99 compared to the H510’s 74.99 price I was hesitant.
    I jumped onto youtube and watch about 5 videos on the case and all of them said the H510 elite was over prices and lacking features and for double the price of the H510 it wasn’t worth the price.

    However I saw it was on offer for 130 and decided to get it anyway and I didn’t regret it!
    Not only does it look amazing and a lot nicer than the ordinary H510, it is actually worth the extra money!

    The H510 comes with only 2 fans in the rear with no fans in the front so you can add your own liquid CPU cooler, and no RGB lighting.
    If you’re going for the water-cooled CPU block then this is probably the case for you.
    But seeing as I was going to use the stock CPU cooler the H510 Elite was perfect.
    As the H510 Elite came with two rear fans and 2 front facing fans as well as RGB.

    If I had bought the H510 I would have had to spend another 44 for two fans (at the time of writing this) and another 14 for and RGB strip – totalling to 58 which would come to 1 more than what I paid for the H510 Elite.
    Which is something to consider if you’re going air cooled with the stock cooler and are wanting RBG lighting.

    It was my first time building a PC and the case was easy to build in and took me just over an hour to do.
    Cable management was easy with the large basement and the preinstalled channels for easy cable managing.
    The case came with a load of screws and zip ties most of which are spare.

    The case came with a few marks but they’re not very visible so I wasn’t really bothered.

    All I would say is that if you’re thinking about getting the H510 Elite but are putting it off but have the money, I would say to just go for it, especially if it’s on offer, I couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out and I think it looks a lot better than the standard H510!

    Such a good case for its simplicity
    This case is such a good case for building my first pc. Cable management was easy as lemon and had awesome RGB light controls by NZXT.

    unfortunately sometimes the NZXT cam software can become glitchy. But otherwise it is such a good case to build in and was such a nice time building it.

    Campact and amazing to build in!
    I bought this case for a new pc I was building and with having built in 3 cases prior to this, this was by far the best case I have ever built in. The slots and paths for cable management make it a dream, the standoffs were preinstalled which I liked alot ,front and bottom air intakes use dust filters so there is little to no dust getting in my system, 2 included outtake fans are quiet and efficient and finally the best thing about this case is the looks, it looks fantastic.

    Best aesthetics in price bracket, airflow is ok.
    This case may not have superb airflow when compared to other cases around the same price bracket but honestly you’ll have a hard time finding a case that looks as clean. The cable management system at the back is very nice to use, although it could be wider for braided cables. The beauty panel hides any mess you may make and your hard drives and SSDs are all hidden in the PSU basement and behind the motherboard tray. All in all, definitely a case that prefers its aesthetics but that’s not necessarily a bad thing unless you’re going for some very high overclocks. To elaborate, the only airflow from the front comes from a perforated grate about 5cm wide that goes down the height of the case. Not too bad if you have 3 fans on the front but since the case comes with only 2 (definitely not bad by any means) you can only have one on the front unless you want 0 exhaust fans. Again, this isnt a bad thing really unless you are overclocking a lot. Would recommend, 5/5 for the average Joe, 3/5 for extreme overclockers as there are much better cases out there for this price with better airflow.

    Great Buy!
    Very nice white, brilliant, not off-white, doesn’t come across as a cheap case either. Cable management options are excellent. One thing to note, the two exhaust fans it comes with (don’t think this is mentioned) they are only 3-pin fans, so just be aware that no pwm with those, but even so, setting a custom fan curve in the bios was no problem and they are just as quiet as my corsair ML fans I bought, temps are no problem either. ALSO only one usb port at the front… lol. Does come with a jack splitter and the other usual stuff you get with a case. HDD’s were a little tricky to install though as I do have two of them. Be aware that my hyper 212 evo just about has enough clearance too! Plus I would also note that I am not a fan of the HDD LED flashes through the power button LED, which can get a bit annoying at time in the dark. But all in a ll a very good case, best I’ve had so far. No problems so far, good buy at a very good price

    Fits an EATX Motherboard provided you remove the cable ba
    It’s fine overall, bought it since I couldn’t find a small enough case for my EATX motherboard (Asus ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha) that was easily available on amazon. I removed the cable bar (that weirdly shaped metal strip in the center right) and it fits an EATX just fine, but if you care about aesthetics then this might be not be a great solution lol. The outside of the case looks really nice though.

    One downside though is the USB C port doesn’t work for me for some reason. Not too sure why but it just refuses to boot up properly and gives me a “usb device over current status detected” error before shutting down after a few seconds. Luckily I don’t really plan to use it so I just disconnected the cable from the motherboard and it boots up fine.

    A little expensive but a really good quality product.
    You can tell when you unpack the unit it is a quality product. Everything just works, and some thought has gone into making the product very user friendly. The only feedback would be that the knurled thumb screws are not always easy to remove. Although expensive would buy a NZXT unit again. That said, there are some quality cases out there at half the price.

    Peice, quality in 1 word it is nzx
    Case is overall good,looks compact but it offers plenty space, in the back can do good cable management due to fact that case has some velko straps, the only things that i can complain is the screws are very rigid and don’t expect temperatures inside the case to be the best ones, front side doesn’t have that much intake space.

    Very nice looking
    Everything is fine…
    but, id suggest to change a courier.
    Box was almost destroyed, delivery was not on time, dude called me to say that no one is answering the bell, even tho i was in apartment..
    after that he asked can he leave it in front, on which i said yes and went to open the door… he was not there… so be careful with that, if you dont want to loose the customers.
    Thanks, great and beautiful case

    Easy for a first timer to build in and the end result looks fab
    Helped a new builder to build their very first computer in this case and it was very easy. There are well thought out sections to help aid cable management and plenty of room to fit everything into the case.

    The build quality is good and the end result really was worth the money.

    The fans that come with the case are OK but may need replacing if you want something quieter.

    Good looking with a few flaws
    Very nice looking case, with clean design and good cable management abilities. To install the hard drives you must take the entire mount out the case to access it. If you want your gpu to be horizontal you must also remove a part in order to get the card in and then put it back in afterwards. My main complaint is that the audio jack does not work and after researching it is a common problem with NZXT cases. I am now looking for an alternative to get my headphones connected. Would also like to have seen another USB port on the front for the price I paid.

    Pros: *solid metal case
    *clean look

    Eye-catching and overall very good case!
    Why did I buy it? I wanted a good looking case to show off my new hardware, and this thing looks stunning. Front fans are lit and colour can be customised using NZXTs software. Installation of components was easy – be careful you use the correct screws for securing the motherboard though, there’s quite a selection so check the instructions if you’re not sure. Don’t quite understand how the alternative gfx card mounting works without some sort of PCI-E cable (are they a thing?) And even then, doesn’t look like there’s enough clearance for effective soiling with the windows on the case.

    Cabling for built in lighting is all ready to go, just connect it to the motherboard as per instructions and it’s ready to go. This thing is stunning, and the layout is novel, hiding the PSU and disks out of the way, glass front and side to show of any RGB or fancy hardware, but…

    Why didn’t I give it 5*s? Opening the case on arrival should have been easier, the instructions are clear on how to do this, but they arrive inside the case. A couple of the screw hols didn’t line up perfectly, mounted everything fine but I don’t expect that on a case half the price. Cable routing and management is good, but it’s not perfect and I had to make a couple of compromises, especially when connecting the CPU fan to the board. USB A socket at the front is ever so slightly misaligned, almost slightly rotated inside the case, meaning a bit of force is required to insert a device. This does however give a nice secure fit so it shouldn’t develop any play leading to connection issues over the years as some of my cases have.

    Is this case worth the price? There’s really not much else like it, it’s spacious and cable management may work out better for you than it did for me, maybe the misalignment issues were limited to a small batch, but I expected better. If this case is the one you want, then it’s worth the price, if you can live with something (overall) similar for less, I’d consider looking at that instead.

    Why didn’t I give it 5*s? Opening the case on arrival should have been easier, the instructions are clear on how to do this, but they arrive inside the case. A couple of the screw hols didn’t line up perfectly, mounted everything fine but I don’t expect that on a case half the price. Cable routing and management is good, but it’s not perfect and I had to make a couple of compromises, especially when connecting the CPU fan to the board. USB A socket at the front is ever so slightly misaligned, almost slightly rotated inside the case, meaning a bit of force is required to insert a device. This does however give a nice secure fit so it shouldn’t develop any play leading to connection issues over the years as some of my cases have.

    Is this case worth the price? There’s really not much else like it, it’s spacious and cable management may work out better for you than it did for me, maybe the misalignment issues were limited to a small batch, but I expected better. If this case is the one you want, then it’s worth the price, if you can live with something (overall) similar for less, I’d consider looking at that instead.

    Good
    Very good case. Very sturdy. As it’s all metal shell it’s bit noisy as all air going from front right thru case to the back and up. Not much connection on front and weird positioning of existing ones as it’s on top. Lots space for cables.

    Decent all rounder.
    Good case. Good value for money. A few criticisms that stop it from getting the fifth star include the ridiculous over-tightening all of the screws, to the point of them all having some amount of thread damage, something that I understand NZXT keeps doing. I have a second NZXT H510 case and to be fair, I don’t think it’s as bad but still, come on guys it’s pretty basic. The other criticism would be the lack of purpose of the front mounted fans. The only proper way to run this case is with two fans in negative ventilation configuration. Seems to work fine but probably could have been more optimal.

    Very tidy case however, feels quite roomy to work in even though it is small and it looks nice. Pretty solid 4 stars.

    Great case, a few minor issues
    The case in person far exceeds what you’d hope for, forget the YouTube reviews. There are minor assembly quality issues, the preassembled screws are too tight having bent some of contact points, where the glass meets the bottom, it’s slightly misaligned. The RGB included controller is good, but you’ll have to daisy chain your RGB components to add 3 RGB fans and they included light strip. But, the case is very easy to build in, sad mounting is the best I have used, and cable routing is a breeze. Overall I would recommend this to most people.

    Excellent case for my i5 build. Comfortably installed a be quiet dark rock pro 4 with no issues. Also installed a 3 fan GPU with loads of room to spare. Cable management was also quite pleasing. Didnt need RGB lighting so didnt go for the i version.

    A classy case
    I bought the H500i as part of my new build 2000 setup. As a first time builder, I wanted something that would look sleek and house all the parts I wanted from a decent gaming and streaming rig.
    this case does all that. The flashy LED lights are great and there are plenty of wires and leads that are already set up within the case to help you get your first build complete. For instance, the power button at the front of the case, the LED strips, the fans and the USB config is all pretty much ready to be plugged in to your motherboard.
    there’s no regrets I have about buying this case. the glass exterior helps to showcase what an awesome PC I now have.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGreat looking case and easy to build in.
    This is probably one of the best looking cases you can get if you’re not wanting something that’s really ‘gamery’ but still has some of the gamer features like RGB. The RGB strip and 4 fans all came preinstalled and plugged into the fan controller ready to roll. The 2 front fans look really nice through the darkened tempered glass and with the fan controller software can be customized to your own liking. Just everything about this case is visually stunning.

    There’s ample space inside for your build as well. I didn’t feel restricted at all in getting parts inside. There is plenty of options for cable management and the only cable that is really on show is the one that goes to the front of the graphics card, but considering where the socket is on the card this can’t really be avoided. The cable is only on show for as much as necessary however and quickly disappears down a hole designed for cable management. There are runners on the back for guiding cables but these can be considered on the small side and to get something like the 24 pin power cable to follow it can be a struggle because of this. A little perseverance (and cable ties) goes a long way however and you can get it in there.

    I had some difficulty mounting a 2 fan AIO, it could’ve been my fault in choosing a corsair AIO over the NZXT one but the only place for mounting it is the front panel. I’m going off memory but I believe the front panel fans are 140mm, the radiator I bought suits 120mm fans so there was some mismatch that led to me having to bodge the AIO into place or replace the 140mm fans with 120mm. I opted for the bodge as 120mm fans look a bit out of place in the front. It’s doable, just not as sleek as the rest of the case (though looks wise you wouldn’t notice that it’s a bodge).

    Some of the screws and thumb screws are on the course side of things as well, plus I managed to strip the head off one of the front panel grub screws so they are not the best. Overall though I’m more than happy I chose this case for my first build. It looks great sat in my living room on full show.

    Very good looking
    Many featured but not entirely modular – a large chunk of the case is rivited. 3.5 inch bay placement isn’t very well thought out in terms of routing cables. Cable cover screws go in strange places. Looks very sleek and its reasonably straightforward to assemble. Alas having a gen 2 connector means the usb 3 type C isn’t usable on all motherboards.

    A good case, thumbscrews are overtitened as nzxt famous for, airflow is Okey, might consider something with better front panel intake, intake slots are small overall, looks good and cheap compared to other cases with usb-c

    Good case, that looks nice.
    I liked the design at the top making it look nice and tidy, however I disliked the mounts that you plug your mother board into because it made it harder to install things on the motherboard.Overall I would say I would say that it’s value for money is good because there is a lot of room for SSD’ and HDD’ and at the top a lot of different ports.

    Perfect case, solid build but an awful fan included...
    Great case, an absolute pleasure to look at and pairs well with my Nzxt cooler. Not into rgb usually but I can’t help but play with the case. Ventilation could be a little better though…

    My biggest fault is the fact the put a 120mm fan at the top when it fits a 140mm fan better….. why don’t you give us a 140mm instead? It seems like penny pinching which almost ruins the nzxt experience…. the 120mm fan is also complete rubbish… it went noisy after a weeks worth of work. Luckily I’ve always got Noctua fans on hand 😉

    Best case I have ever bought!
    I absolutely love this case! I bought it originally to have better airflow for my PC as my old case was all cramped together so it did get a little too warm. But with this case, I have ample room, and more!

    The cable management in this case is absolutely the best I have seen so far and this is coming from someone who has built quite a lot of PCs.

    This case has no issues fitting everything in, including my cooler master cpu fan. The case is minimalistic, but the design is not distracting in any way. In fact it highlights the components inside really nicely with the window looking in.

    I didn’t realise the case came with LEDs, so this was a nice bonus. Don’t worry about setting these up as they are a doddle.

    Quite simply a joy to build in. NZXT have made this mid tower simple and easy to build in weather your experienced or a beginner. The cooler fan bracket is a God send.
    Aesthetically it is amazing and the thermals while overclocking is spot on too.
    I’m so happy I invested in this beautiful creation.

    The best case....EVER!?!?
    Literally the best case I have ever had the privilege of building in. The amount of ease I had with this case is actually insane, plugging in the cables and dealing with cable management was very easy thanks to the included straps, helpful plastic panels and the nicely placed and Infamous nzxt hole, making installing the 24pin and other cables (SATA USB 3.0 etc) easy. There is convenient hole at the top and bottom of the case to make it simple to plug in the CPU 8 pin and the other bottom cables (FPC USB2.0 etc). The front panel connectors were also easier to connect than ever before as this case had only 1 connector for the entire FPC, making it so simple, other cases NEED to have this now as theres no need for front panel connectors to be so awkward.The hard drive and ssd bays were also at the back of the case, keeping the build clean and concealing any cables that would originally be shown. Ssd’s can be helpfully installed in little plastic bays that can be moved to where is easiest in the back or even front of the case if wanted. The case helps to make the build cleaner by having a power supply shroud extending through the bottom of the case. Installing case fans is also very simple and satisfying, having a removable panel at the front for 2 extra fans if needed, as 2 nzxt fans are included you are fine with not putting in extra fans anyway. The structure of the case is amazing and not what I expected, the side panel was very easy to keep the cables in and the tempered glass is great for showing off the components within the case, overall a great case I would recommend anyone who is looking for a mid size tower with easy and satisfying building.

    After building computers now for about 10 years I decided to upgrade my case for the 3rd time. After scouting around and finding this gem I decided to buy it. Taking it out the box was like golem finding the one ring to rule them all. This case is truly a beauty to look at. After installing all my components and firing it up I was paying more attention to the case than games. I’d definitely recommend buying this case if you’re looking to upgrade.

    This was my first ever PC build. Arrives built. Tempered glass panel is extremely easy to take off (thumb screw). Had no issues with hiding the cables. I didn’t even need to use cable ties for everything to look slick because the amount of space to hide cables and the positioning of the cable holes are perfect.

    I did but it when it was on sale so it made it more adorable than current price. Was my first time building a PC and this case was very easy to work with. All mounting points for ATX boards supplied. Spare screws and so on should you lose any. The included fans work well. Allowed me to get started without having to buy additional. My favourite part is just how easy it was to cable manage and hide away the power supply cables. Would definitely use NZXT cases agai

    Back case fan stopped working.
    The two included case fans worked fine, until about 2 weeks later when i noticed my back case fan was not spinning up when i started up my pc. I have used multiple different fan headers on my mobo and it still isn’t working.
    The only way i can get it to spin up is if i manually spin it with my finger, which starts the fan spinning up. However when it does start to spin up after i have nudged it, it only functions at half speed.

    pros: Great price, easy to build in, good looking, cable management was a dream, compact size.

    Beautiful case but pretty loud
    It looks great. I couldn’t install my corsair water cooling very well as there was not enough space provided although that could be more a fault of the cooler rather than the case. Of courses if you get the Nzxt cooler it will fit very well I believe. I included some me pictures. This case the cooler should be fitted in the front, unlike many others. In fact the is not space to fit at the top so that is out of the question anyway. Due to the placement of the red bar though there is very little room at the front. I had to rotate my cooler so the pipes are right against the glass door which doesn’t look the best. My cooler does have quite a bulge though where the pipes connect. The Nzxt cooler is much slimmer.

    Very great case, but beware of tightening the thumb screws!
    This is a very great case. It has really easy to install front panel USB cables and lots of great cable management features. I would definitely recommend this to a new PC builder.
    However, this came with the thumb screws really tightly screwed in, so when you unscrew them and screw them back in, make sure you don’t tighten them too much as this will damage the screw threads in the case. Unfortunately one of my thumb screws don’t go in properly now because I was not aware that they were not meant to be in so tight and I have damaged a screw thread.
    As long as you take care with this case you will have a great experience using it.

    I bought this as I wanted a glass sided case with lights. This certainly is that. It is easy to get into, with just a couple of hand turn able screws, and its very easy to install everything you need. With this case you’ll have plenty of room, it looks tidy, and you’ll have it made in no time at all. Yes it is pricey but if you want to build a quality system you wont get much better than this.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersSimple and stylistic!
    I was initially concerned with air inflow but an honest review convinced me to give it a try. As the review said, you do not necessarily require the front case fans if you are not using a liquid cooler with a radiator, you just have to get an appropriate fan cooler. Yes, I can attest to that. I don’t have extra fans at the front but I have two Noctua fans, one 120mm at the back and one 14mm at the top.

    The CPU and GPU get adequate colling when my PC is running with overclocked settings that set the i7 9000K CPU at 5.2 GHz. The CPU is cooled using the Noctua NH-D15 Premium CPU Cooler which draws in air from the front of the case.

    I would recommend this case anytime because of its beautiful and simplistic design and due to the fact that it allows adequate air inflow and outflow on my system.

    But be aware that, if you are going for the Noctua NH-D15 cooler, you will need an extra 120mm Fan (get Noctua if you can). I mentioned this before in my review of the Noctua cooler. You will need it because the outer 14mm fan is too high. Due to the position of the RAM slots, the fan would be slightly displaced resulting in about 3mm or more protrusion towards the tempered glass slide door/window so you might not be able to close it.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersNice, sturdy case and worth the price.
    Overall a very nice case. Well built and sturdy due to the steel construction and actual tempered glass. The option at the back of the case to mount your GPU horizontally was actually very useful for getting into that area when installing my GPU, wireless and sound cards and there is plenty of space at the top and bottom of the Motherboard to route cables through, something i’ve always struggled with.

    The built in fan hub in the back is also a very nice touch and ended up the only fan me actually installing via the Motherboard being the CPU fan (i’m using an AIO). It also has the front panel connectors in a single input as well which was very nice as i’ve always struggled with them in the past.

    There aren’t many bad points but the biggest i found was the screws. Throughout the tower, the screws were either on far too tight meaning i almost threaded several just trying to put my cards on and the thumbscrews for the front and back panels feel really cheap and don’t seem to fit quite right meaning they can be very difficult to take off and put back on. I ended up actually using a different screw for one of the back slots as the one they provided simply didn’t fit.

    One last thing i would ask, they have obviously made an effort with cable management and there are some very nice ideas but perhaps putting a space at the back for the slightly bulkier wires would be an option. I found it quite tricky with the Motherboard 12 pin and the other bulkier cables to get them into a place where i could close the backplate without too much pressure being on it.

    Other than that though i would recommend this case. It managed to fit my Sapphire Vega 64 which is a huge card with a little bit to spare (that’s with a push/pull radiator setup at the front) and the RGB element was effortless. Worked straight out the box with no issues at all. Though i’m quite boring and went with a nice pale teal colour to mix well with my white LED fans.

    Overall, a good solid case for the price but some easy steps they could improve on.

    – Mounting the radiator of the Kraken X62. This was hard as the instructions were very vague and didn’t show how to do it properly
    – The connectors for the front of case were different to ones I usually use
    – The pre installed light strips stopped being able to change through CAM & I had to disconnect it and reconnect it in the actual case.

    Pros of the case:
    -Vertical GPU mounting is amazing! But hard to install riser cable as the space is tight to connect.
    -Very easy to build i

    No complaints
    Very good looking case with fantastic build quality. The pre-installed screws are a little tight (even the thumbscrews required a screwdriver to loosen them) but other than that I don’t have any complaints.

    The removable front fan/radiator mount is a great feature that makes installing an AIO very straightforward. The cable management channels behind the side panel keep everything tidy, and plenty of cutouts make routing power and connectivity cables to the motherboard easy and neat.

    My one recommendation when purchasing this case is to also buy a microfibre cloth, as if you’re anything like me you’ll be forever polishing fingerprints off the lovely tempered glass side panel.

    One slight gripe I have is that I’d like to have a USB type-C connect or in the front panel.

    H500i - A Beauty To Work With
    This was a beautiful case to build in. I was switching out my 2014 year old CoolerMaster case for something new and I’d decided on the H500i. I mainly went for the H500i for the convenient RGB + Fan controller, it was worth the extra 30 over the default H500. I’ve not built in many cases, mainly old school cases to help out my local school etc or just family members needing to fix something.

    I remember spending way over a good 5 hours re-managing my old case, cable managing, moving parts, re-adjusting screws and it still looked so messy on the inside and because of the amount of cabling I tried to hide, I had to force the right side panel down. It became a horrible mess to cool when my parts began upgrading and I needed an upgrade.

    The H500i makes building so easy, first of all, taking off the tempered glass panel, to running cables was all a sleek and fun process. Radiator and fan clearance could be a wee bit nicer, but it’s snug and definitely a lot more roomier than my old case for sure. Routing cables with the convenient tracks in the back, to the fan mounts.

    You can barely see cables and I will eventually start buying newer cables with 90* angles or more slack to pull under the shroud to hide more of it and neaten it up way more than it is now.

    As for cooling? The case runs cold, I am running an AIO for my CPU, but mainly running a negative pressure airflow for my GPU/ram and I’ve always stayed at 50* on most games, at full load. It’s truly wonderful to build in and I’d honestly suggest it, the lighting is so subtle and it’s not everywhere, it’s great for people who like RGB, but not too much of it.

    Over the next year or so, I will be looking into fully watercooling and seeing what this case will be like to build with watercooling, I’ll definitely be using this case for the next five years. Thank you NZXT!

    Absolutely love this case
    Finally treated myself to a more premium case & I have to say I completely love this one. So many mounting options for drives & the built in lighting is lovely.
    Airflow isn’t too bad, I have a 240mm AIO mounted to the front which is slightly restricted but can be compensated by using some decent fans (I’ve a pair of noctua fans on my AIO & boy do they push air). I also replaced the stock fans for some NZXT AER 2 fans (120mm & 140mm).
    This case comfortably takes 2 2.5mm SSD’s (with space for 2 more on the back) & 2 3.5mm drives behind the PSU shroud. Cable management is fantastic, I need a bit more practice (or a modular PSU).

    I love this case & I’m contemplating replacing my AIO for an NZXT one as I’m now a huge NZXT fanboy.

    Believe the reviews
    Such a dream to work inside as my first ever PC build; looking at videos online of many people building, it seems there are a lot of common hassles in building a PC that this case completely resolves.

    RGB is cool and software is pretty clever; working for the included case fans, internal lights as well as my Kraken 52. It’s a shame all the brands don’t combine so I can use my lights from motherboard and ram with it but all the modes are similar so not too difficult to workaround.

    If you’re looking for a sturdy, easy to build in case that looks the part then look no further I say.

    Excellent case for people who are looking for the minimalist look
    This case has a great build quality and finish.
    It comes with some I/O ports on the top with a power button. The side panel is made of tempered glass. The PSU compartment is segregated from the rest of the internals at the bottom. The drilled holes are positioned perfectly. No fitting issues with the components when installing. The finished product looks fantastic. I recommend this case to anyone who is looking for a minimalist looking case, good value for money and doesn’t require to install a DVD Drive Reader or Floppy reader into the case (no slots for external 5.5″ drives)

    Nicely designed case..
    Pros:
    Decent cable management system
    Simple, clean design while being not very heavy

    Cons:
    Some ATX pre drilled holes are not correctly aligned for ATX boards.
    Not as easy or simple installation as I expected.
    No reset button (minor)

    Bought and installed 2 140mm fans in the front. Mostly quiet except when CPU fan starts ramping up. Not sure if there is insufficient intake air flow. Computer component was not as straight forward nor easy as previous cases I had worked with.

    As pc cases go this is fairly easy to work with, love the cable management which has to be the best I have come across in nearly 20 years of building PC’s both for myself and others, quality at this price point is about right, bit flimsy in places and HDD and ssd mounts and storage could of been better or more imaginative in placement. Would of preferred the top mounted usb ports to be at the side as slightly ruins the lines of the case when in use. Glass side panel is well thought out and is easy to take off and put back on, Overall I like the minimalist look of the case although you would think temperature of components would be an issue I am only seeing a rise of 1 to 2 degree Celsius compared to my old air 240 case so not bad.

    This is possibly the greatest case that I’ve had the pleasure of building inside. The size of this case and the plethora of cable management options is beautiful, the case includes cable runways and Velcro straps to keep the cables tidy and neat. The inclusion of removable SSD trays that can be placed where holes are located is excellent, they can be placed visable at the front under the GPU or hidden round the back of the motherboard. The metal shroud to the right to allow cables from the back round the side is excellent, there is plenty space for cable extensions as well as the small cables from the front IO and case fans.

    The case itself mainly features metal and plastic, the plastic is of high quality and very durable. The case itself has some weight to it so be assure that its quality is top tier. The tempered glass brings a lovely dynamic and allows you to show off the internals of your build. The PSU shroud helps hide the power-supply cables and hard drive bays.
    During building, every area is accessible by removing side panels and thumbscrews, allowing for easy building and cable management.

    When the case arrived, it was well packaged and honestly it was bigger than i expected which was a pleasant surprise, this was my first case that could hold ATX and above, i was more used to mATX. The standoffs are well placed making installation of the motherboard easy. Accessories are kept in a small NZXT branded cardboard box and contains various cables for the motherboard and all the necessary screws.
    This case could easily support customer water cooling loops and AIOs with radiators, the case has a removable bracket at the front of the case for radiator installation.

    Excellent value for the money. Really great to work in and plenty of room for cable management. Came very well packaged. Went with this case because of the minimalist design. A tinted side panel glass version would be nice too. The front panel connector was just a single cable which was great to see. Airflow seems good. I have 2 x 140mm noctua redux for intake, cooling a 9700k at 5ghz and rtx 2080 stock. 72C and 80C max respectively at full load (60C and 75C when gaming). The screws were on super tight out of the box so have a screwdriver handy. Seems a bit too small for custom water cooling.

    Near perfect Mid-Range case
    Good case for mid-high end gaming systems. However, few issues, particularly for a first time builder such as myself.
    Pros:
    – Beautiful tempered glass window
    – Pre installed motherboard stand offs (ATX)
    – Surprisingly good airflow and temps (considering the design)
    – 1 cable for all front panel connectors (absolute life saver)
    – Multiple SSD mounts
    – Plenty of cable tie down points
    – Cable clasps behind the white cable management bar
    – Power supply shroud containing hard drive cage and plenty of room for extra cables.
    – Included fans are quiet and move plenty of air (there are 2)
    – Plenty of room for radiators and liquid AIOs at the front of the case
    – Holes above PSU shroud can be used to place the SSD mount to show it off in a custom fashion.
    – Plenty of decent quality dust filters where all intake fans can be placed.
    – Plenty of cable routing options for cable management for motherboard, GPU, fans, etc.
    – Glass panel on a lisp to prevent it falling out and smashing.
    Cons:
    – SSD mounts, while tool-less were difficult to use, and wouldn’t properly mount behind motherboards. Also could’ve done with better cable routing for the SATA cables.
    – No HDMI passthrough like s340 elite

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersThe case is simple yet looks good, had no big issues with the case
    Overall amazing case for the price, comes with 2 fans, good airflow, cable management made bit easier with multiple holders for zips/ties.
    The case could be better however, had slight issues with cable management, the stock power cables are thick which makes them hard bend and on most motherboards the connections will be at the edges, so I expected bit more space at the top of the case to run thicker cables, the metal stripe in the case could also be bit close to the glass leaving bigger gap behind for running cables as most of the connections are at the bottom for most MBs so the biggest clutter of cables is run where the gap is thinner and almost no cables run at the wider gap area.
    Also the splitter thing for cable management could be less closed off to sides making it easier for cables to split at different heights. Just my opinion, havent build many PCs so it is based on my experience of someone who is new to PC building. Also make sure to tighten the standoffs, one of the 8 in my case was slightly loose thus had to remove MB a couple of times (can also be blamed on my inexperience, hoping that new screws and screw holes would fit better, while it is the opposite as some metal bits are still stuck once in a while, so better loosen the holes a bit before actually doing the installing and make sure you use correct screws.)

    Very nice looking case allowing me to fit 4 HDDs inside. Open panel also a plus given my system has full RGB and is water cooled. Cable management is also very good on the case. The only warning is that it is very compact length wise so make sure if you are water cooling that you plan for how to install your graphics card and the pump reservoir. Oh yeah, I stuck a glossy silver Razer sticker on the front so it also looks the part 😀

    Small, but surprisingly easy to work i
    The H500 looks great and is in my opinion just the right size for sitting atop my desk.

    Taking of the side-panels is extremely easy, and you don’t have to worry about losing any thumbscrews as they don’t come out.

    If anyone is in the same boat as I was and are looking to get a Nocuta NH-D15 or similarly sized cpu cooler, it does fit with both fans attached, however the offset fan (and the fan will most likely be offset so as to not interfere with the ram, even low profile sticks like the Vengeance LPX) will make contact with the glass panel, which applies unnecessary strain on the heatsink/motherboard. Personally I decided to stick with only one fan attached to the cooler and advice anyone considering this to get the NH-D15S instead, which is the same heatsink but with only one fan–saves you some money.

    Brilliant case at a great price!
    Delivered on time and in one piece. Once opened and started to assembly the case itself is excellent quality, and a serious mark up on the cases I used a number of years ago. No CD.DVD ROM bays – but this is what we know and wanted. There is ample supplied fans and contrary to a number of reviews on here I felt the cable management was well thought out and if you spend some time planning then a professional finish is achievable. Brilliant case, great price point and delivered quickly. Highly recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our UsersMinimal but sleek
    Absolutely love this case. This was my first PC build from scratch and it’s a great case for new starters who want to put together their own rig. Very clean aesthetic. The internal cable management is pretty good, although I did have to fight a little with the ‘cover’ piece that runs to the right of the mobo, as it made it a little difficult to plug in the front USB 3.0 ports and my SATA cable, but that could also be an unfortunate symptom of my mobo’s port placement!

    Something to be aware is the case is designed in stock config to work on ‘negative pressure’ for airflow – meaning the two fans it comes with are both blowing outward, meaning the case is effectively ‘sucking’ in air around it through any and all openings. Thankfully NZXT have included airflow filters over all the designed vents to mitigate any possible dust build-up, but it’ll end up in there eventually. Also, if you’re worried about thermal performance from this, it’s actually surprisingly very good despite being negative pressure based. My GPU never gets higher than 45C on heavy sustained load, which is very impressive!

    One caveat that might bother some (but not me!) is there’s NO front drive mounts. So no CD/DVD/BR drives. Instead there’s a mount for two fans which you could use for intake if you want to change the airflow to positive pressure. Another tiny complaint, but not enough to deduct a star, is that the screws around the PCIe slots at the back are REALLY tight – and you might find some paint flakes off. If you’re concerned about this interfering with the motherboard, I highly recommend you figure out which slots you need to remove the covers from and do so BEFORE mounting your motherboard, as it might get a tiny bit messy.

    I had heard that these cases were “a dream to build in”, and whilst this may be true for experienced builders, I found I had some problems. The instructions that come with the case for assembly are very minimal. The screws that come with the case intended for attachment of front case fans were completely useless. I purchased NZXT fans, so it seems unusual that the provided screws would not be compatible with the brands own fans.

    Regardless, the case is beautiful and has more than enough clearance for all necessary cables, GPUs, and PCIE accessories. Airflow seems to be good based on the low fan speeds of my CPU cooler, and the case is very quiet.

    The front panel conecting cable is a bit weird
    Looks really, really nice. I think the only problem I had is the weird front panel conector it has to fit in to the mother board. It did not conect quite right and I had to sacrifice the power button light. The engineers did think it through really. The PSU fan cools down the ssds because it is underneth it. The ssd holder are really fancy and in general it is rock aolid.

    Always a good feeling getting some good hardware into a good case
    This case is an acknowledgement that optical disc drives are less popular these days – and NZXT has done it in style. Found this bad boy after just searching ‘NZXT’ as I knew they were good for cases, didn’t read much and just bought the thing.

    Looks nice and sleek. Doesn’t look like those common H.R. Giger looking cases.

    Has room for 3 SSDs and 3 HDDs, Though I doubt I’d ever use them all, it’s nice to know that the option is there if I ever need it. The two fans included were a pleasant addition to the two fans I already have as well. Plenty of room inside for air to flow through and some good thought was put into cable management.

    My only criticism is that when opening the glass panel for the first time, the force I needed to wedge out the top right corner made me think I was going to shatter the thing. Yes, I actually read the manual on how to open it, so I know I didn’t get that part wrong. I hope.
