NZXT H5 Flow Compact ATX Mid-Tower PC Gaming Case - High Airflow Perforated Front - Tempered Glass Side - Cable Management - 2 x 120mm Fans Included - 280mm Radiator Support - Black

I bought this to build my new PC. It has PLENTY of room for those long and hefty video cards, and I had no trouble building in it. The airflow is great, and my rig stays cool with airflow only. I don't notice the fans revving up even in a relatively quiet room, which is what I was going for.While I don't do the RGB light show, the tempered glass side is nice. You could make a nice, subtle glow for the inside and have a great view of your artwork.The case is sturdy and feels substantial. It looks great with the black finish and smoked glass. The motherboard tray is removable, so you have options for cable routing. You can mount drives behind the tray as well, so my secondary storage is hidden. Side note, if you install a mechanical drive, the back of the motherboard tray may not be the best spot. When it spins up, I can hear every knock. I think it sits too close to the side panel, and that boosts the noise.You won't have the option of an optical drive because the front is built for airflow. Likely most people won't care about this, but if you are planning to load all your old CDs / DVDs onto a server, you'll need another option (external drives are cheap).The filters are easy to remove and clean, and I haven't seen any buildup of dust on the inside. You only have one USB and one USB-C on the top-front, along with the standard headphone output. This hasn't been an issue for me, but if you want more ports, you'll need to account for that.Overall, this had all the features I was looking for. Subtle looks, easy to keep quiet, good cooling, and easy to build in. For this price, this case is a great buy.

2024 Model:Lots of space for 120mm and 140mm fans, although there is unfortunately a 3x 120mm cutout in the front that looks awkward for 2x 140mm fan layouts. Great airflow, though the PSU oddly doesn't have an option to have bottom intake, which leaves it potentially competing with the GPU for air. Most panels are easy to remove and have screw retention washers for convenience. Pretty basic I/O on the front. I'd like to see some extra USB-A or USB-C ports but for a case at this price point, I understand why they were left out. Great options for cable management as well. I like the thinner mesh design compared to the 2022 model, minimal but classy.2022 Model:Shares most of the praise for the 2024 Model. The "toilet bowl" underside fan is an interesting choice, it's unique but unobtrusive. The front panel fan plate is a little awkward to uninstall and reinstall, but it's not a deal breaker.

Great computer case. Good air flow. I added a couple more fans. Temps have beed good. Nice price point. Easy to install components. No issues. Nice black finish. Has glass side. Easy to remove. Overall a great buy for a pc build!

Great quality case as expected from NZXT, the case was very easy to build in and very spacious especially for me as a first time builder. The case is very well thought out. Comes with thumb screws so no need for any additional tools to open the case. The dust filters that you get are magnetic so the attact the case and have a premium feel. There are cable management straps in the back along with proved cut outs to route cables. My biggest gripe with the case was with opening the front panel, it took alot more pressure than I was initially comfortable with applying to open it but after a few times doing it, its seems to be alot easier to get it done. That's the only reason I have it 4 stars

I've been building my own pc's for 30 years and this is the most well engineered and well thought out case I've ever used. All at a very reasonable price. The cable management cooling ability is exceptional. I believe it can host liquid cooling but I didn't go that route. It comes with 2 x 180mm fans and I added 3 more as well as the CPU fan heatsink. It still runs pretty quietly. The metal thickness quality is solid. It is slightly wider than cases I've previously used but the cable management makes up for that.
