NZXT H2 Classic Mid Tower Case
May 28th, 2011 | By JaredRemoving the side panels reveals more sound dampening foam. It’s clear the H2 is focused on silence.
The inside is finished in white to match the outside. The accessories come stored in a box tucked towards the front. A large CPU cutout should allow for the easy installation of aftermarket heatsinks.
There are a total of eight internal 3.5″ drive bays with tool free hard drive caddies. There are 16 thumb screws lined up at the back of the rack for use to secure the hard drives in the bays. The three 5.25″ bays each have a tool free locking mechanism that flexes in the middle and then snaps back in place. six more thumb screws are located here as well to further secure devices in the bays.
On the bottom of the case are two openings that as we saw earlier are covered by a long filter. And additional 120mm fan can be installed here. The seven expansion slots in the back all use mesh covers and are secured with thumbscrews. A 120mm fan provides an exit for hot air.
There are three cutouts with rubber grommet inserts for routing cables and keeping clutter to a minimum. Looking at the top of the case we can see the fan mount for the optional 140mm top exhaust fan and the connections for the top SATA dock. If you look closely you can also see the blue USB 3.0 cable as it is routed behind and at the top of the motherboard tray.
There are a plethora of wires for all of the front I/O panel connections.
Looking at the right side of the case there are plenty of places to tie down additional cables while the NZXT does a nice job of bundling the existing cables neatly already.
