NZXT H200 - Mini-ITX PC Gaming Case - Tempered Glass Panel - Enhanced Cable Management System - Water Cooling Ready - Black - 2018 Model

I love this case. It's not only beautiful, but it's designed quite competently in regards with cable management, with tons of holes, channels, and velcro straps.Case Pros:- Nice, clean aesthetic.- Uncluttered front panel.- Decent radiator and AIO support.- Useful cable management features built in.- Thick tempered glass side panel that seals securely against the case.Case Cons:- The disassembly process for the front and top panel are very intimidating. They're supposed to just pull off but require so much force that it could be easy to bend or break the panels/clips I feel like. Considering this is something you may have to do to clean the case or mount cooling hardware, this could have been done a lot better. I would have preferred screws instead. Update: After actually removing the panels, this wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.- No USB-C. This isn't a common feature on cases but it still would have been nice.- Airflow out of the box isn't bad but isn't great. I definitely saw my GPU and CPU temps go up a bit switching from a HAF932. I'm going to install a 240mm EVGA CLC as a top exhaust in the hopes that getting that CPU heat out of the case will let my GPU breathe better. I really wish there was an optional mesh front panel option for this case or something along those lines. Searching Google will yield results for a few custom mods people have made to the front panel that have drastically reduced ambient case temperature and it would have been nice if NZXT prioritized airflow just a bit more with this case.- Build quality is pretty good, but the front panel, side panel, and top panel are all a bit thin when you compare them to a case like the HAF932 or the Nanoxia Deep Silence 6. Obviously those are much bulkier cases that appeal to different markets, but still. When it comes to build quality, thicker is almost always better.Overall, a great case and I only have a few minor complaints about it. I'd definitely recommend it to anybody trying to create a clean build and doesn't need a bunch of extras like 5.25" bays or HDD cages (an HDD cage is included, but is entirely optional. I opted to go full solid state and will be buying an external HDD bay for storage)Edit: Since buying this case, I've made some changes, and I have a bit of constructive criticism to give (though not much, it's a great case).First off, I've installed a Fractal Celsius S24 AIO (pretty much the only AIO worth buying if you care about cable management, it uses a single 4 pin to power everything) cooler as a top exhaust. Install is pretty easy once you know what you're doing, though getting in fan screws with the constraint of the cable management bar can be a bit tough. I did have to flip around the radiator mount and AIO a few times before I figured out how I was supposed to mount it though.One small complaint I have is that since the tempered glass panel is "floating", by that I mean it has no frame and is pressed into the frame of the case using thumbscrews, there's no obvious place to grab it for disassembly. I recommend a small plastic spudger of some sort to start the lift, and I recommend opening the panel with the case on it's back whenever possible as it can be very easy to lose a grip of when the case is standing. Aesthetically, all of this is great. It just means you'll have to take some precautions and may not be the best case for somebody that wants to swap hardware a lot.I suppose I do have one small complaint. In their default routing, the front IO cables can be seen from certain angles, which is really not a nice bundle to look at. I've included a photo of what it looked like when I first noticed it was visible from outside the case, and while I was able to hide it better with some zip ties and readjustment, it seems like an oversight considering this is how 99% of people are going to route the front IO cables. They could have at least extended the steel of the case to cover these wires.One other thing. NZXT, uou should make your front IO cables braided! It would look so much better and I'm surprised case manufacturers don't do this already. The front IO cables for this thing are not pretty to look at (even though you'll hardly notice them thanks to the excellent cable management)Oh, one warning to people with OCD, there was a bit of an uneven panel gap between the front panel and the top panel. It's very minor and hardly noticable, but people who get bugged by this type of thing should keep that it mind. I'd say it's definitely within acceptable manufacturing standards.I'm still loving the case and would definitely recommend it if it suits your needs.

First things first, I LOVE this case. It looks stunning, the build quality is excellent, features are plentiful, and it was extremely easy to build in. NZXT really has a good product here. That being said, it is a bit pricey for what you get, likely due to the so-called "Smart Device" and "machine learning" features that NZXT crammed in there. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the case and only have a few very minor gripes.PROS:-Great design! The case is beautiful.-Excellent build quality. Nothing broken or scratched out of the box. Everything feels really sturdy.-Hands down the best cable management I've ever seen. Plentiful and well-placed cable channels with plenty of velcro straps and cable tie tie-down points.-Plenty of room for cables behind the motherboard. I had no issues getting the back panel on after routing all my cables.-4 included case fans! The fans perform well and I currently have no plans of swapping them out with something else.-Very easy to build in. All of the panels are easily removed and reinstalled. A removable top radiator bracket is much appreciated.-Top fans/radiator are vented out the side instead of directly up. This is a pro for me because I have a cat that likes warm things and if this was vented directly up, the cat would definitely want to spend a lot of time sitting on top of the case, choking off the airflow and getting cat hair/dust/dirt inside of the case.-Great airflow! Even with front and top airflow being somewhat choked off by being forced to breath through the grid, airflow seems plentiful and I've had no issues getting nice overclocks with good temperatures and minimal noise on my CPU and GPU.-Intake dust filters-Relatively quiet for not being a silence optimized case.-Mounting points for up to 5 SSD's. 2 on the PSU shroud, 1 on the front of the shroud, and 2 behind the motherboard.-Movable 3.5" HDD cages to make more room for cable management or provide more clearance for front-mounted radiators.CONS:-The famous NZXT white bar makes cable routing the 24 pin ATX motherboard connector a bit difficult. I wish the jog at the top started a bit lower. Not a huge issue though.-Pre-installed LED strip only had 3 working LEDs. I didn't RMA it because I wasn't going to use it anyways, but it is worth noting. The second RBG strip seemed to work fine when I tested it just for the heck of it, but I'm not using that one in my final build either.-Expensive.WORTH NOTING:-Only 2 3.5" HDD mounts. Not an issue for me since my primary drive is an SSD and I only have 1 HDD as my data drive. Worth noting though.-No 5.25" in bay, if that matters to you. Not a con for me, because I personally prefer the room for additional intake fans.-CAM software that integrates with the Smart Hub is a little bit buggy, but no major problems. This really is more a critique of CAM than the case itself though.BUILD SPECS:Case: NZXT H700iMotherboard: ASUS Prime Z370-ACPU: Intel i5 8600k (overclocked to 5 GHz)CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 (top mounted in this case)GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 GamingRAM: G.SKILL TridentZ 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 2400Power Supply: EVGA Supernova G3 750 W Fully-ModularSSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GBHDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TBMORE ON THE SMART DEVICE:For those who don't know, their Smart Device is kind of a hybrid between a GRID+ (fan hub) and HUE+ (RGB hub) with built in machine learning (NZXT's words, not mine). The intent with this is that using NZXT's CAM software, you can optimize your system cooling and noise. The way it's supposed to work is that you connect all of your fans to the Smart Device and using CAM, put your system under various tests and calibrations and using "machine learning" it will determine the optimal balance of airflow and noise. I can't really comment on this feature because I'm not using it, rather opting to create my own fan curves and optimize noise/cooling/airflow manually. At this price point, I imagine that most buyers will be enthusiasts and experienced PC builders, and in my experience, these kinds of people tend to do things manually anyways.I will say that I am using the Smart Device as just a centralized fan hub and using the CAM software as my fan controller. In that regard, it works well. I'm not using the Smart Device for any RGB, as I prefer a more muted RGB aesthetic and I'm not using any RGB strips (even the included ones). However, I'm using the RBG controls in CAM for the RBG lighting/effects on my Kraken X62 and it works well for this also.
