Sleek design, Tempered glass side panel, Smart device included, Two RGB strips included, Cable routing channels, Panels are designed to sit inside the frame of the case, Price
Need to remove HDD tray to install drives, HDD tray only supports 3.5-inch drives, Tight fit for ATX motherboards
NZXT has a really solid case in their H500i. You would be really hard pressed to find another case that offers such style, function, and features for only $99.Lets first talk about the style of the case, just looking at the H500i you can tell it is an NZX...

Attractive price, Good acoustic performance, Tempered glass side panel, Two RGB lighting strips included, Great layout, Supports vertically mounted GPUs,
Odd fan placement, Hard drive cage must be removed to add hard drives
The H500i's distinctive styling will appeal to fans of NZXT's line of H series cases. The brightly colored cable management bar, tempered glass side panel, and RGB lighting provide pizzazz without being overly flashy or gaudy.9/10$99.99...

I love the minimalist design of NZXT, and I'm relieved that the H500i doesn't suffer from any issues with cooling thanks to some clever engineering. As for the smart device controller, I like it, but you may not. The good news here is that you can pick up...
Good value, Easy to build, CAM-powered Smart Device, Excellent cable management system, Customizable RGB lighting/fan profiles
Top dust filter is difficult to replace, RGB lighting/fan profiles are not stored on the Smart Device
Cooling performance is pretty good with the H500i as the side ventilation provides adequate airflow to cool the internal components. My system still runs normally under load even with a 4.5GHz overclock on the Core i7 5820K. The case already comes with tw...

Like a certain other H500, we have to give NZXT credit for paying attention to earlier criticism and responding to it effectively. There is a version of the H500 with a smart device and RGB strips, but making this less-expensive “dumb” version available a...
Supremely easy to build in, Outstanding cable management tools, Packed with premium extras, Smart Device fan/RGB controller makes management easy
Limited front panel port selection, Top dust filter is cheap and barely held in place, Awkward to add PSU cables or HDDs after installation
The NZXT H500i blends clean design and outstanding cable management with a boatload of premium features typically found in more expensive cases. It's one of the best cases under $100 that we've seen despite a few minor flaws...
Extremely solid build quality, Cable trenches for easy cable management, Two retail grade fans included, NZXT CAM module built-in, Dust filters on all intake openings, Great use of steel of shroud to be part of side of case, Nice how window and solid pane
3.5" hard drive cage requires removal to be filled - using all screws, Motherboard a pretty tight fit, Four SSD trays would have been nice

The air intake at the bottom front of the case has no filter, There is no included PCI-E extension cable for vertical GPU mounting, A possible problem exists with non-standard front panel pinouts on motherboards, NZXT has done a cracking job with the H500
