Cooling capability could be better
Fans are not silent at full speed

Case can become very hot during gaming
The H2 isn’t the first silent chassis that NZXT has built, but I’m still quite impressed with the results. The case was very quiet, even when having the fans on 100% power. While airflow isn’t the greatest in a case like this, it really isn’t designed ...
Attractive finish, Budget friendly sound insulation, Loads of storage potential, Near tool-less design
The H2 has a tough role to fill as a sub $100 silent PC chassis. I found the black finish and smooth lines a bit somber but attractive. The top panels are at odds with the look but most users will probably not end up messing with them as much in pra...

The NZXT H2 Classic Series Silent midtower case definitely made a very positive impression on me in this review. Although there isn't anything really jazzy, I really like the stealthiness of this case. Just about everything is black, giving it a cool ...
Easy to use, Nice looking, Sound dampening foam, Fan controller, USB 3
Side panel fit
This has been an awesome case to install hardware in, it was easy and no tools were required for more than the motherboard itself. I love the facts it has USB 2 and 3 ports on the front and two removable front fans, it doesn’t make things worse with a...
The NZXT H2 mid-tower case combines the classic good looks and quiet operation of the full-tower Whisper, with the small footprint of the Hush. Sprinkle in a slew of updated bits like painted interior chassis, hot-swap removable fans, external hard d...

Although the NZXT H2 Silent Classic Mid-Tower PC Chassis is a bit plain looking compared to some of NZXT’s other PC cases it still is a nice looking case for those who don’t want clear panels and/or lots of LEDs. Its black monolithic style gives ...
In the past. I have used both the original NZXT Tempest and the Tempest EVO for my personal system. After not paying much attention to the company (although I did want to always take the PanzerBox for a spin), it's nice to have been able to take a loo...

I loved the tool-less design on the H2, it made for an easy installation. In fact putting the drives in was actually fun, taking off the fan with just a pinch and sliding it in and hearing that nice little click letting me know everything is safe, mmm ...

Abstract: Breaking free of the confines that big box electronics retailers force upon you when it comes to PCs is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, you're free to pick literally anything you want from anywhere you please. On the flip side, where do you star...

The NZXT H2 has piqued the interest of many computer enthusiasts for its combination of clean looks, accommodating internals, and attention to noise levels. While the "Silent" part of its title might be something of a misnomer, the case does offer good v...
