Can you believe it’s been two years since the NZXT H1 was released? It’s almost as if time stopped in the last two years and the days have just blurred by… can’t imagine why. But I digress because the latest NZXT H1 V2 is here at least. I loved the original case, but NZXT think they can do even better this time around, and I’m eager to investigate what new features they’ve included. Plus, many PC cases have become broadly the same thing in recent years, a PSU shroud, tempered glass and some RGB, which is fine, but it’s everywhere. NZXT is changing things up with their case, as it uses a vertical layout, giving it a more monolithic shape. Plus, we don’t see as many high-end mini-ITX cases as we used to, so I’m glad to see them keeping that part of the market alive.
It’s quite expensive, with an estimated price of around $350-400 depending on your region. However, you’ll be glad to know you’re getting a lot more for your money than just a humble case. It comes bundled with a 140mm AIO liquid cooling system and fan controller, as well as a premium 750W SFX 80 Plus Gold power supply, USB 3.2 and Type C ports and a PCIe Gen 4.0 compatible riser cable. All of those items are (obviously) premium add-ons to any case build. A PSU of that calibre will set you back £125 alone, the riser cable around £45, and you could easily spend £70-90 on that cooler too, so that’s around £250 (around $300-350) making the core case around £100-120 of the parts bill. Suddenly, the price seems more sensible, and because we know the cooler and PSU are compatible right out of the box, it’ll speed up your build time too.
