Nzxt H2

Just saw this on another forum:

http://www.bwone.com/nzxt-h2-silent-pc-case-pax-east-2011/

I don't really know much about how releases in different countries work. Do you think this case would be coming to the UK? Also couldn't find any info on the release date but it looks really smart for a good price so I'm quite intrigued if anyone can shed any light.
Thanks

Do. Want.

Might even upgrade tbh!

Looks like a nice case with some great features at quite a reasonable price.

Looks damn good to me. Just wish more companies put a fan connector like that on the side panels, rather than making you plug the fans in when refitting the side panel (and obviously forgetting).

Very nice case hope its out for when I do my build.

my Thermaltake element G has the feature on the side panel, love it makes me not want to upgrade as its an excellent feature.

This is the first NZXT case i like the look of as well :|

Which is a rip off of Lian Li. How can a plain box be a rip off? This case is different in many other ways to the Fractal too. I don't get why so many people on here think the Fractal is the greatest invention since sliced bread - it isn't that great...

iam sure the antex p180 was the 1st case in that style that fractal copied

Fans in the front? Yeah, give Fractal their due, no one has ever put fans in the front of a PC case before them.

And soundproofing? I'm pretty sure Fractal led the way there as well, no one had ever thought to put some foam/dampening material inside a case to dampen the noise.

Oh lol...you have a fractal. Might explain things.

NZXT case has some great features, but looks a bit plasticky. Price will probably reflect that though.

Haha...

In the video they said it'd be coming in at $99 - which translated to GBP + VAT is £73.20. Or £85 after 'shop tax'... :rolleyes:

Certainly could be competitive though.

Video review of it up on OC3D's youtube channel:

Doesn't look at all good at a £80 price point tbh. Great shame as quality competition for the R3 would be good.

SupermotoMX · 22 Mar 2011 at 14:40

if its £80 then tbh i will save up another £14 and get the fractal....

Aretenon · 22 Mar 2011 at 14:48

This is also one of the first NZXT cases I would seriously consider buying.

chippy08 · 22 Mar 2011 at 14:48

The R3 isnt that good anyway.

So cheap looking and feel not what you want for you exspensive pc parts.

Not a big fan of it to be honest. Has some nice features such as the the touch contact fans and the docking bay but it's not really a selling point for me. Docking bay would not be used, or if it was, the drive would just stay there almost all of the time anyway. And with dust filters theres hardly ever a reason to remove the fans in the first place.

Design is a bit plain and boring.

Also the translation in price is probably incorrect, distributors normally add on top the price that it costs for them to actually import the product into the UK, so were probably looking at £90 - £100. After all, everything costs more in the UK regardless of exchange rates.

Would rather pay a bit extra for the phantom.

This guy from OC3D reminds me the type of people that scores your car body paint then says it's not very good. I mean really... trying to rip the foam off... what's next? chuck the case off a roof and call it crap?
