None come to mind
Cooling capability could be better
Fans are not silent at full speed
USB 3.0 front panel solution a bit kludgy
3.5” internal drive mounts finicky to attach
Side panel fit
Space can get tight
Apart from the HDD installation
Door doesn't open all the way
Too many black thumbscrews???
Only one USB 3.0 port
Which plugs into the rear I/O panel
Routing Cables Behind The Tray Requires Longer Power Supply Cables
Longer Graphics Cards May Limit Use Of Some Hard Drive Bays
USB 3.0 Port Uses A PassThrough Cable Rather Than Internal Header

The NZXT is good, but could be better. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with the NZXT H2 Classic case, especially as it’s currently $99.99 on Newegg and Amazon. It delivers on its claims of quiet computing, and with mesh filters to keep dust out and good...

Really quiet; USB 3.0; threestep fan control; interesting fan config.
Kind of cramped; grommets aren’t very secure; chintzy optical drive latches.
The test results for the NZXT H2 are disappointing. This is a case I was particularly looking forward to checking out because it looked like quite a find: quiet, efficient cases can be hard to come by at the $99 price point. More than that, the H2 is very...

The NZXT H2 effectively cuts down the noise from internal components significantly. I was doubtful at first while looking at the thin felt material on the side panels and the door but after testing everything, even with the fans set to maximum speed un...
Abstract: NZXT knew I was heading back to America and thought I might need a PC chassis. How right they were, as I formerly had the colossal BitFenix Colossus which was far too large to take with me so I only had my PC internals which needed a new home.That new ...

Abstract: Well well well look what we have here, the NZXT H2 gracing the front page of OC3D! This was not part of the plan originally, we did a brief video of the case over on the OC3D.tv YouTube channel and because we were not all that impressed we were going to b...

We enjoyed our time with the NZXT H2. It's got a lot of natty features that we love, such as the blanking plate for the empty roof mount, the easily removable front panel fans and the three-speed fan controller. We even like its looks, which are sleek but...
