Given all of the positive things I have had to say about the NZXT H2 Classic Series Silent midtower case so far it earns the Bigbruin.com "Highly Recommended" award. And because it includes a few fans, has a built-in fan speed controller, and includes some sound dampening material, it also earns the Bigbruin.com "Whisper Quiet" award.
Pros:
» Built in fan controller for factory instvsed fans
The H2 has a tough role to fill as a sub $100 silent PC chassis. I found the black finish and smooth lines a bit somber but attractive. The top panels are at odds with the look but most users will probably not end up messing with them as much in practice. The interior layout is more basic with some nice options for cable management and a nice matching finish. Installation is easy and mostly tool-less.
The NZXT H2 has piqued the interest of many computer enthusiasts for its combination of clean looks, accommodating internals, and attention to noise levels. While the "Silent" part of its title might be something of a misnomer, the case does offer good value for money. At $99.99, I feel the asking price is spot-on for what you get in return: a quality case with decent cable management capabilities, plenty of drive bays, and some flourishes like rubber grommets and anti-vibration pads throughout.
Most of the criticisms I can offer are pretty minor. Things like powder-coated thumb screws that can't be removed by hand are annoying, but not deal breakers. The front of the case has an interesting brushed/mirrored black finish, which looks great when clean but collects more fingerprints than the NYPD. Also, the rubber inserts for the cable management holes really need to be made of a sturdier material or mounted better.
To wrap things up, the NZXT H2 Classic Silent case can reasonably cope with the demands of high end parts, despite its desire for peace and quiet. Beyond that, it gives you ample opportunities to crank the cooling up to 11, with easily replaceable front fans, water-cooling readiness, and places for two additional air-movers. Easily accessibly dust filters and a sweet, built-in SATA hard drive dock round out the high points of this case, making it a solid value for your case-buying dollar.
Luckily I've managed to see the white version in person as well and it looks great, more so on the inside with just the right balance of black accents. Regardless of preference, users are sure to be satisfied. NZXT has a winner on its hands with the H2.
Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with the NZXT H2 Classic case, especially as it’s currently $99.99 on Newegg and Amazon. It delivers on its claims of quiet computing, and with mesh filters to keep dust out and good cable management, it’s a good setup for clean airflow—especially if the case is upgraded with two more fans. The three-speed fan controller and SATA bay are also a great bonus. The case is easy to open and get inside, especially the front-mounted fans. Plus, I rather dig its simplistic, professional appearance—no gaudy colors or angles, just pure classiness.
Although the NZXT H2 Silent Classic Mid-Tower PC Chassis is a bit plain looking compared to some of NZXT’s other PC cases it still is a nice looking case for those who don’t want clear panels and/or lots of LEDs. Its black monolithic style gives it an industrial appearance.
For those who value silence then the NZXT H2 Silent Classic Mid-Tower PC Chassis is an excellent choice whether you use it for your gaming rig or as a workstation as there is plenty of room for expansion. The H2 can be so quiet that when the fan speeds are set on low the front door light on the bottom corner may be the only indication that the PC is on. It has some minor flaws but priced at under $100 those can be easily accepted for such a versatile case.
DragonSteelMods gives the NZXT H2 Silent Classic Mid-Tower a 4.5 out of 5 score.
8/10 means Definitely a very good product with drawbacks that aren't likely going to matter to the end user.
9/10 means Excellent product with very minor drawbacks that does not affect the overall product.

If you are looking for a good quality, clean looking, fully featured, and noise optimized chassis that's not bland to look at, the NZXT H2 is the case you have asked for.
The NZXT H2 mid-tower case combines the classic good looks and quiet operation of the full-tower Whisper, with the small footprint of the Hush. Sprinkle in a slew of updated bits like painted interior chassis, hot-swap removable fans, external hard drive dock and USB3 port, and what you've got is a great mid-tower case that should please just about anyone. I say just about because obviously some users will not care for the understated, conservative or "plain" look and will demand a case with windows, lights, etc. and look elsewhere.
Using solid side panels and a front door allows NZXT to get away with large sections of noise-dampening foam on the inside, which plays a large part in making this case super quiet. All of the fan openings except for the rear exhaust are covered, yet still allow some airflow to take place via an indirect route. And the three-way built in fan controller regulates the included fans' speed anywhere from mildly audible down to just plain silent. Leaving the front door panel open or the top cover off will allow more noise to escape the interior obviously, however this is far from objectionable even with the fans set at the highest setting.
NZXT still hasn't fixed the rubber grommet issue we've raised with previous designs, and using one or more really long video cards is quickly going to eat up your available hard drive space. But there's always the external dock if you only need one drive, or a 3½-to-5¼" adapter for that matter. I do wish they'd just go back to a rolled-edge hole design however.
The NZXT H2 is available in two color choices, either black or white, and is available online in the $90 to $100 range. That's not a bad price to pay for a feature-rich and good looking chassis like this.
OCIA.net awards the NZXT H2 Classic Silent Mid-Tower our Gold Seal of Approval.
I loved the tool-less design on the H2, it made for an easy installation. In fact putting the drives in was actually fun, taking off the fan with just a pinch and sliding it in and hearing that nice little click letting me know everything is safe, mmm that’s how it should be. That leads me to another nice thing about this case, the fans. It comes with three fans built in and a fan speed control on the chassis. A nice little touch that definitely adds to the design of the case overall. If you are concerned about the noise from the fans or the components of you rig the main feature of the NZXT H2 will help. All the sides are lined with noise dampening foam. I found that the foam did help with the noise which makes sense it being a silent case haha but, sometimes you come across a case that can't keep its promises, certainly not the case with this chassis. Another super sweet feature is the hot-swappable drive bay on the top of the case, and its on the top, with a cover panel held by magnets. Very cool indeed. Final thing to note about the H2 is the aesthetics, it looks very nice with the brushed aluminium front panel that’s clean of any buttons, plus the top with the cool cover panels. The whole case has a clean but spiffy look to it that I for one quite enjoy.
So would I recommend it? Yeah totally. Its got great features, its quiet, and it looks great.
NZXT’s Classic case may not look all that impressive, but once you open up the case you’ll find some rather nice touches throughout.
With many handy features built into the design of the Classic, how impressive is it when it comes to cable management and space — to some, the most important part of a computer build? With an ASUS GTX 580, included fans, and five hard drives, the 25mm spacing behind the back panel really made setup and building easier than the midtower footprint would suggest. For references sake — it was far more roomy than our usual Coolermaster Storm Scout. Simply put: the NZXT Classic is much roomier than it seems.
We really like the ample interior space and cable management possibilities the 25mm back side of the case offers. Nonetheless, we feel that at even at $99 the H2 Classic is a good buy especially for those who want a whisper quiet PC without sacrificing innovative features such as the top-mounted external hard drive bay and cordless fans.
"The Bottom Line: The H2 from NZXT will offer silence, performance, optional equipment, USB 3.0 and a style that is so nice it can't be denied its elegant sexiness."
"The most important part, of course, is the cooling and noise dampening capability, which the NZXT H2 does very well. Another feature of note is the excellent cable management option. There are plenty of spaces to route cables and store them properly, so that the main chamber is free of obstruction. In case the user wants better thermal performance, the NZXT H2 can accommodate another exhaust fan at the top or another intake fan at the bottom. This feature, combined with the built-in fan controller, makes the NZXT H2 one of the most flexible, high-performance, silent mid-tower gaming case in the market."
"Our Rating for NZXT H2 Silent Classic Mid-Tower PC Chassis Review (hardware) 9.0 Construction Sturdy with a fine attention to detail (like the removal of hazardous sharp corners) and a very well thought out design make this an all around winner. Only concern is optical drive vibration being transmitted to the case resulting in some noise and a power supply can really bring the noise up.
9.5 Installation A good solid fit with components being snug but not needing to be forced into position. Nice tool-less design as well.
9.0 End-user For someone looking for a highly functional and quiet case in a simple and sleek external package, this definitely fits the bill. Good access to extra ports on the top along with the external eSATA dock.
9.0 Style Sleek and slim. Almost elegant in its simplicity with just a hint of flash here and there.
9.0 Functionality It certainly does all it is supposed to do, looks good doing it and is easy to work with. It’s not ultra-quiet as at 100% you can hear the fans, but at 40 and 70% they’re quiet overall.
9.0 Overall A great example of high-end features in a simple and elegant case with sound-dampening to make it sound as good as it looks. The easy installation just adds to the overall quality of the product."
"Besides me maybe being a little picky about the wire management and flow impediments, the NZXT H2 Classic has a solid foundation for someone who wants a quiet, unique, good looking case that can house the latest hardware and not be overrun with excess heat — or noise for that matter. Though the temperatures weren't superb, the option to add two more fans into the case could definitely be taken advantage of and really help the chipset and GPU temperatures. So for those looking for a stylish and quiet case, the NZXT H2 Classic would be a perfect suit for those desiring around the $100 mark."
"Tenemos una caja con todos los elementos necesarios para que no tengamos problemas ni en la instalación, ni en el mantenimiento, ni en la insonorización de los elementos internos. La NZXT H2 recibida que, recordemos, es un sample del producto final, nos da muestras claras de que la copia que encontraremos en las tiendas cumple con los requisitos que cualquier usuario avanzado busca, y lo podemos apreciar en esos pequeños detvses que suelen decirlo todo: espuma insonorizadora, bastante espacio interno, muchos elementos de expansión, sencillez en la personalización del entorno, dock para discos duros, etcétera.
El precio estimado para esta caja es de unos 90 euros aproximadamente. Sin duda, con todas las novedades que aporta esta caja y su bonito diseño le podemos dar el Premio N3D al producto recomendado."
"L'estetica dell'NZXT H2 è degna di nota, con linee pulite ed eleganti, così come tutte le soluzioni studiate per rendere il prodotto il più silenzioso possibile.
Le ventole sono di ottima qualità ed il Fan Controller ci permette di impostarle al regime di rotazione che più appaga la nostra percezione del "silenzio"; se ciò non bastasse, abbiamo tre delle sei pareti interne completamente rivestite di materiale fonoassorbente.
Se tre ventole non fossero sufficienti, potrete installare ulteriormente una ventola da 140mm, nella parte superiore del case, ed una 120mm, a fianco all'alimentatore, con l'accortezza di sceglierne di silenziose.
Il case, pur non essendo finestrato e non necessitando, quindi, di una "presenza estetica" al suo interno, è ricco di vie di fuga per i cavi: i patiti del cable management saranno ampiamente appagati dvse molteplici soluzioni che NZXT ha progettato e studiato per loro.
l'NZXT H2 è uno chassis adatto a tutte le esigenze ed a tutti gli utenti: estremamente facile da "configurare", dalla indubbia eleganza, dvse molteplici soluzioni e dal costo contenuto.
Il prezzo di vendita, infatti, è di soli 99 euro IVA inclusa, ampiamente giustificato dalla qualità dei materiali impiegati.
In considerazione di quanto sinora esposto, non possiamo esimerci dal conferire all'NZXT H2 il nostro massimo riconoscimento."
"This is one excellent case. Its syling might be classic and a few average Joe’s may consider £80 too much to spend on a case, but for everyone else this is one you simply must take a peak at when buying a new chassis. Its got good cooling that’s quiet, excellent sound proofing, USB 3.0 support, bottom mounted PSU with dust filters, pre-organised cables and room for more. The interior paint job is consistent and the exterior one is nice and uniform.
Really, what more could you want from a case in this price bracket?"
Ruhe Bitte! Dies muss hier nicht zweimal gesagt werden. Die Dämmung pri beiden Gehäusen ist ausgesprochen gut. Schon ohne laufendes System kann man die Ventilator bei niedriger Einstellung so gut wie nicht mehr heraushören. Bei eingebautem System werden unter Last die Geräusche vom CPU-Ventilator und dem Hladilnik za grafično kartico hervorragend gedämmt. Im besten Fall erzielten wir einen Wert, der 6,5 db(A) unterhalb des Schalldruckpegels lag, den unser System im offenen Aufbau erreichte.
Während das Define R3 optisch eher zurückhaltend auftritt und nur mit seiner Fronttür im Aluminiumlook glänzt, hat das NZXT H2 einen Hauch von Gaming-Gehäuse und weiß sich optisch gekonnt in Szene zu setzen. Auch an Extras bietet das H2 einiges mehr. Neben einer Docking-Station im Gehäusedeckel ist hier vor vsem die neuartige Befestigung der Frontlüfter erwähnenswert. Weitere Vorteile des H2 sind sicherlich der Front-USB-3.0-Konnektor, auch wenn hier nur ein Priklop zur Verfügung steht, sowie ein schraubenloser Einbau der 5,25“- und 3,5“-(čitalnik)e. Das Define R3 kann hingegen bei den Temperaturmessungen seine Stärken ausspielen. 12° C Differenz bei höchster Ventilatordrehzahl im Vergleich zum H2 sind zweifelsohne beeindruckend. Die Lösung von Fractal Design, die Seitenteile lediglich mit Bitumenmatten zu dämmen, ist also die bessere Wahl.
"Es bleibt also nur noch die Preisfrage offen. Das NZXT H2 ist für 99,90 Euro im Preisvergleich gelistet, für das Fractal Design Define R3 müssen knapp 86 Euro na die Ladentheke gelegt werden. Beide Gehäuse sind in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen erhältlich. Das H2 gibt es neben der von uns getesteten weißen Ausführung noch in črna. Das Define R3 ist neben Titanium Grey außerdem in den Ausstattungen White, Silver und Black Pearl erhältlich. Die Titanium Grey, Silver und Black Pearl Ausstattung unterscheiden sich vserdings lediglich in der Barva der Frontblende, der Rest des Chassis ist črna. Hier hat man die Qual der Wahl, die jeder für sich selbst entscheiden muss. Wir können beide Gehäuse bedenkenlos empfehlen und aufgrund der gebotenen Performanceen und Ausstattung gibt es, vermutlich erstmalig na Planet 3DNow!, diesmal gleich für beide Gehäuse einen Editor's Choice Award, da beide Gehäuse das Silent-Kriterium voll und ganz erfüllt haben und wir, natürlich auch aufgrund subjektiver Eindrücke, hier keinen eindeutigen Testsieger ausmachen können."
