NZXT H2 Classic Mid-Tower Chassis Review

NZXT are a fairly new name for us at eTeknix as it’s only been recently that we’ve had the opportunity to look at their products. We started off taking a look at their Avatar S mouse recently which we found to be attractive and feature rich so naturally we’re hoping that they have developed their cases in the same manner.

That brings us onto the H2 Classic Series Mid Tower case, which is said to offer fantastic styling while keeping things simple and to the point. This involves superb cooling whilst not skimping on design or functionality. You can see instantly why we were excited to take a look at a product such as this.

Coming in a choice of two colours and white being the colour of choice at the moment, we instantly plumped for that and was looking forward to a detailed look at this as NZXT claim to offer some very unique features in this chassis that only a select handful of products on the market have as well as having the latest USB 3.0 standards and a slide-in docking port for your hard drive.

Sounds like a great recipe for a chassis, we just hope that our first look at a NZXT case will be an enjoyable one. From our research, we can’t see why it wouldn’t.
