Removable filters on all air intakes keep dust out. Includes removable bracket designed for radiators up to 280mm.
Pros: -Built like a tank. Steel inside and out. Real glass side panel. -Very aesthetically pleasing. Beautifully minimal. -Great price to quality ratio. Other cases in this price range pale in comparison. -Can fit two 140mm fans in the front. -Dust filters on the front intake area, top exhaust, and bottom PSU vent. Great for pet owners. -The front fan mount bracket is removable, making fan or radiator installation a breeze. -Cable management is very easy due to the metal “stripe” inside and cable channels in the back with Velcro straps. -Stock NZXT case fans work perfectly fine. -NZXT’s universal 2.5” SSD mounts are AWESOME. Tool-less to mount in the case. -Steel HDD cage. -Pre-installed motherboard stand-offs. -Great for a first-time builder.
Cons: Note: I don’t believe these cons are worthy of taking eggs off, as they are completely situational and might not matter to some people. -For a mid-tower, this case is on the small side. My R9 290X which, granted, is a large card, is only a few inches away from my front fans. And my Cryorig H7 CPU cooler almost touches the tempered glass side panel. -This is primarily an aesthetic-oriented case. The actual front is solid metal. Your front fans will be pulling air from vents on the non-glass side and bottom. If you’re looking for a case with crazy airflow, check out the Fractal Meshify C or something similar. (Don’t let this deter you too much though. My Ryzen 5 2600 idles at 27C and floats in the 40s under load.) -Tight to work in if you’re customizing or modifying. I added two RGB strips and getting them oriented perfectly where I wanted them was a pretty meticulous process. You may want to invest in some needle nose pliers or tweezers if you plan to work in the H500’s tight spaces. -Can only fit 4 fans total without modding.
Overall Review: This case is perfect for me, as my desk area is pretty small. I can still use my ATX motherboard and full sized GPU, but in a slightly smaller form factor compared to other mid-towers. We also have two cats, so I love that it has dust filters to catch any hair, and they’re removable for easy cleaning. To me, the minimal style is refreshing. It’s a nice break from a lot of towers these days that look like a Transformer sitting on your desk. I am definitely an NZXT fanboy after owning this case. I will continue to use their products because of the quality and design. If this case is even an option in your head, I say go for it!
