NZXT isn’t typically known for their silent gaming cases, but when they do come out with a new one, it’s certainly something to check out. Today, we will be looking at the NZXT H2 Silent Midtower Chassis which features not many sound dampening attributes, but also 25mm of cable management space behind the motherboard. Read on further to see what else this silent case has in store.
Special thanks to NZXT for providing us with the H2 Silent Midtower Chassis to review.

Packaging
The H2 comes packaged in a plain brown box, which is atypical for NZXT packaging. Usually NZXT packaging is very intricate and colorful, but with the H2 it’s a plain brown box with black text. On the front of the box you’ll find a model of the H2, presumably in both the white and black colors. Along the backside you’ll more specific details about the case.
The case is protected by two pieces of hard foam and a plastic bag, nothing too special for this case.
