NZXT H7 - CM-H71BW-01 - ATX Mid Tower PC Gaming Case - Front I/O USB Type-C Port - Quick-Release Tempered Glass Side Panel - White

This case is the best Ive ever built a PC in. Ive built something like 25 from-components PCs over the years for myself, friends and family, in various cases and combinations of hardware. This case felt amazingly easy to work in and around. For example, the power supply bay isnt cramped; you can expect to set up your cables on a modular supply and put the supply in with ease. No cramped, hand-banging experience getting inside the case to unplug a power cable. Mounting a 360mm AIO and the motherboard was a breeze. All panels, front, top and both sides, come off with simple snaps, rather than screws or complicated mechanical fasteners. This means that access to the case interior was simple and everything was easily reachable. Airflow looks like itll be quite good. Maybe not the best possible airflow, but certainly good enough for most typical thermal loads. It wasnt possible, because of the use case, to mount the AIO in a puller configuration to move warm air out of the top of the case; it had to be mounted in the front, pushing cooler air through the radiator and through the 120mm rear opening. That wasnt ideal for the GPU and motherboard, but it should be fine in daily use and gaming. For overclocking as a daily-driver, Id say that this case would not be suitable, but if youre a serious overclocker, youre probably doing it with a test-bench rig and custom water cooling anyhow. Cable management, which to be fair was minimal (motherboard held the boot / storage drives on M.2 slots, so other than the GPU, there wasnt much to plug in) was easy and intuitive. The channels for cables and their velcro straps were well-designed and everything was kept in place without undue cable strain. Mounting the front-panel connections was about as easy as Ive ever seen. For starters, the Power On/Off, Reset Switch, etc., were thoughtfully bundled together into a single plug, so that, for once, there wasnt a need to carefully seat a tiny Power On cable onto motherboard pins. Of all of the things that havent changed about the ATX standard over the last 20 years, the fact that this is still how things work is sad, but this case gave users a best-in-class solution. For newbies, the mounting of the motherboard is often the scariest part. NZXT made this almost idiot-proof, by putting a fixed pin into the ATX layout that will make it obvious where the motherboard should be, and when its located correctly. I think that this could be improved, by making the pin out of a softer material, so that newbies cannot damage the back of the motherboards while figuring things out, but it was well-designed. Were there any bad points to this case? Its sheer size, perhaps, is a non-starter for a number of folks. Its not quite full-tower, but its quite large by modern standards. That said, none of that space is wasted; this was a case obviously designed by a good team of engineers. Its perhaps not the quietest case ever designed, either; while the sockets for the panel mounts are very intuitive and appeared to be reasonably sturdy, there will almost certainly be a little extra vibration over time, but that could be addressed with some simple fixes, such as a little pad in a trouble spot. Upon initial assembly, however, the noise levels were totally fine. Im sure that others will not like the aesthetics of this case- its basically just a box. But to me, and most other people, the box wont be seen or really noticed once its built, so I dont care, and the glass side panel is sufficient for showing off a custom water loop or RGB stuff, etc., if you really want people to know how much money and time youve spent on your rig. Personally, I prefer that my machines run silent and dark and dont look worth stealing, lol. In conclusion: if youre trying to figure out a case to buy, this is far and away the best Ive ever seen, especially for newbies trying to assemble their first PC from scratch. The people who designed it clearly understand how PCs are built and thought about most of the major problems really carefully. This is pretty rare, in an industry where most cases are built to be either cheap or aesthetically pleasing, or both, at the expense of function. Its totally worth the asking price.

Pros: - Cable routing/management is a breeze - Looks beautiful - Sturdy construction - Can sync the case fan speed with CPU or GPU temperature - No tools or screws needed to take the side panels off - Lots of color and animation options for the front fans Cons: - Airflow is mediocre - Fans can be quite loud on full speed

I bought this knowing that it was through Amazon warehouse and it said it was in like new condition. I can confirm that it came in a bit of a beat-up box but the unit itself was in perfect condition with everything still in the original packaging. If you buy it and it says anything other than like new be wary that previously I bought one that was missing the actual fans. This is a great case to build in and looks great

Every angle of the H7 Flow design is quality. If the specs fit your needs, and you like the aesthetics, buy it!

An absolute joy to build in. Incredibly thoughtfully designed. Im glad they included only 2 case fans instead of cramming 3 or 4 into the cost and cutting corners on build quality. The buyer can always add more fans, those are easy. There are pass-throughs everywhere you could possibly need them and the detachable cable shroud next to the motherboard is an amazingly clean solution. IMO, its vastly superior to rubber grommets. The backside of the motherboard has what seems like an entire extra case for cable management. Probably a full inch clearance with hooks and cable runs all over. The exposed CPU mounting bracket area on the back of the motherboard also makes installing a cooler a breeze. There is room for a 360mm radiator both on the top and front of the case. The case itself feels strong and solid. Every panel has some really smart pull-off and press-on fitment snaps which are, again, a joy to work with. Immense amounts of room in the main compartment which allows for a ton of uninterrupted air flow through the case and over the GPU. Really glad I went with the H7 flow. Clean and sharp look, roomy, wonderful to build in.

Given as a gift to my grandson and he build this to his specs and he finds this fantastic. Great fans. Awesome unit

The H7 Case by NZXT is by far one of the best I’ve used. It has plenty of room and makes cable management easier. If your looking for a case that will last and is easily upgradable for future builds this is the case.

The case itself has pretty high materials quality. It has a nice weight, not too heavy and also not too light. The ease of building with this case is nice. The IO is better than most and has a few quality of life features. The listing however is not correct. This case does NOT have 3 case fans. It only has 2. The front of the case 1 single 120mm fan and the rear has a single 120mm case fan. That is all. There is not another case fan for this case. That means I now have to buy another case fan in order to setup the configuration I need in order to have a positive pressure setup to mitigate animal hair, as I have 2 dogs. At over the $120 price point you should expect 3 case fans or at least the correct listing of the number of case fans in the description. That was the primary reason for the purchase of this particular case.

This case sucks in air from a thin slit <2 inch on the side and doesn’t keep it cool

Pros: Plenty of room in this case for most builds. I bought the NZXT vertical gpu mount and it works great with a Gigabyte RTX 4080 Gaming OC. Plenty of room between the gpu and the side panel. Cons: Comes with 2 non led fans (both 120mm), which Im sure 99% of the people who buy this case wont even use. It would be great to sell this case for less $$ without these lousy fans. Another con was the lousy UPS shipping. It arrived locally 2 days before the scheduled arrival date (which was about 1 week) and they held it at the warehouse until the delivery date. So much for Prime shipping.
