NZXT H2 Case Review

The Front Panel

In Figure 4, you see the front panel with the door opened. The door has a foam pad to reduce the noise produced by the computer, which is a nice touch. The front panel has three 5.25” bays, and the bay covers have a very interesting latch mechanism. The bay covers aren’t meshed, and it wouldn’t make sense if they were, since we have a door covering the bays.

The case has, however, two rifle bearing 120 mm fans (1,200 rpm, NXZT DF1202512RFLN, which is actually manufactured by a company called “Xin Changfeng Electronics Co, Ltd”), and there are air openings at the bottom and at the sides of the door, so air can enter the case. Both fans have air filters that are easy to remove and wash, and they use a “quick connect” mechanism, meaning that you can remove them without the need to remove their power connectors.
