Introducing the NZXT H2 Silent Midtower


NZXT H2 Silent Mid Tower

Earlier this year at CES we were given a sneak peek of the H2 from NZXT's Classic Series and we were only allowed to show you the corner of the case. Today we get to show you the rest of it.

NZXT H2 Silent Mid Tower

From the outside the H2 has very simple clean looks. On the inside the H2 has some nice features to offer. The side panels and the front panel have a layer of sound dampening material to lessen the noise making it out of the case. The top exhaust fan also has a baffle over it to help direct the sound back into the case.

The H2 also features a 30 watt fan controller that can handle all 5 fans that the H2 is able to accommodate. The H2 also has USB2 and USB3 ports on the front panel and a top mounted external 2.5/3.5" hard drive dock that is hotswap capable if your motherboard is capable of it. The H2 also has room for eight 2.5 or 3.5 hard drives and three 5.25" devices.
