NZXT H200i - Mini-ITX PC Gaming Case - RGB Lighting and Fan Control - CAM-Powered Smart Device - Enhanced Cable Management

I'm an adult now. Mid 30's with kids. Haven't built a new gaming rig in over 5 years. Found it difficult to find a "gaming" tower that didn't look like some version of what I imagine a Michael Bay Transformers case would look like. Never heard of NZXT. Always had Corsair or Cooler Master cases, with Corsair being my nicest quality builds. I eventually went with this one due to its clean and simple look. Have to say, I was VERY impressed with the build quality and cable management. The CAM software seemed like a nice bonus but tbh, it's just ~meh. I still use it because I can though. Because I liked the build of the case so much I went with other NZXT components (cooler and internal USB hub). So far I like everything NZXT...might become a fanboy if I'm not careful.Anywho, here's what I stuck inside it;== GUTS LIST ==CPU: Intel Core i9-9900KMOBO: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ULTRA-CFGPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 FTW3 Ultra (triple fans)COOLING: NZXT Kracken X72PSU: EVGA Supernova 850W G3RAM: G.SKILL 2x 8GB sticksSTORAGE: 4x SSDPROS:- cable management.- cable management..- high quality material- heavy construction- snapped off all the panel pieces a dozen times while working on this build and they still re-fit nice and tight- tempered glass is awesome (way better than those days of clear plastic mats). Unless you treat it like NOT glass, you should have no problem with it breaking like several reviews I read complained about- plenty of room for my guts list. Though I do not believe I could fit dual RTX 2080 FTW3 Ultras in here if I wanted to due to the PSU cage placement (see image 3 & 4)- Cooling is good during long gaming sessions. All components stay well within safe temp ranges- oh and it has great cable management...CONS:- Might be too tight for dual GPUs depending on the thickness.- The white cable management bar only has two placement options (pic 1 shows the furthest over placement option). Wish I could move it another inch to the right.- CAM software is OK. It loses touch with my Kraken cooler from time to time it won't pick it up in the software. So I have to unplug the internal USB 2.0 cable and plug it back in again for it to pick up. Not sure if this is a bug with the CAM, the Kraken cooler, or the MOBO. But I have heard mixed reviews on the CAM so going with that since I don't have an issue with my other CAM software

I love this case. It's not only beautiful, but it's designed quite competently in regards with cable management, with tons of holes, channels, and velcro straps.Case Pros:- Nice, clean aesthetic.- Uncluttered front panel.- Decent radiator and AIO support.- Useful cable management features built in.- Thick tempered glass side panel that seals securely against the case.Case Cons:- The disassembly process for the front and top panel are very intimidating. They're supposed to just pull off but require so much force that it could be easy to bend or break the panels/clips I feel like. Considering this is something you may have to do to clean the case or mount cooling hardware, this could have been done a lot better. I would have preferred screws instead. Update: After actually removing the panels, this wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.- No USB-C. This isn't a common feature on cases but it still would have been nice.- Airflow out of the box isn't bad but isn't great. I definitely saw my GPU and CPU temps go up a bit switching from a HAF932. I'm going to install a 240mm EVGA CLC as a top exhaust in the hopes that getting that CPU heat out of the case will let my GPU breathe better. I really wish there was an optional mesh front panel option for this case or something along those lines. Searching Google will yield results for a few custom mods people have made to the front panel that have drastically reduced ambient case temperature and it would have been nice if NZXT prioritized airflow just a bit more with this case.- Build quality is pretty good, but the front panel, side panel, and top panel are all a bit thin when you compare them to a case like the HAF932 or the Nanoxia Deep Silence 6. Obviously those are much bulkier cases that appeal to different markets, but still. When it comes to build quality, thicker is almost always better.Overall, a great case and I only have a few minor complaints about it. I'd definitely recommend it to anybody trying to create a clean build and doesn't need a bunch of extras like 5.25" bays or HDD cages (an HDD cage is included, but is entirely optional. I opted to go full solid state and will be buying an external HDD bay for storage)Edit: Since buying this case, I've made some changes, and I have a bit of constructive criticism to give (though not much, it's a great case).First off, I've installed a Fractal Celsius S24 AIO (pretty much the only AIO worth buying if you care about cable management, it uses a single 4 pin to power everything) cooler as a top exhaust. Install is pretty easy once you know what you're doing, though getting in fan screws with the constraint of the cable management bar can be a bit tough. I did have to flip around the radiator mount and AIO a few times before I figured out how I was supposed to mount it though.One small complaint I have is that since the tempered glass panel is "floating", by that I mean it has no frame and is pressed into the frame of the case using thumbscrews, there's no obvious place to grab it for disassembly. I recommend a small plastic spudger of some sort to start the lift, and I recommend opening the panel with the case on it's back whenever possible as it can be very easy to lose a grip of when the case is standing. Aesthetically, all of this is great. It just means you'll have to take some precautions and may not be the best case for somebody that wants to swap hardware a lot.I suppose I do have one small complaint. In their default routing, the front IO cables can be seen from certain angles, which is really not a nice bundle to look at. I've included a photo of what it looked like when I first noticed it was visible from outside the case, and while I was able to hide it better with some zip ties and readjustment, it seems like an oversight considering this is how 99% of people are going to route the front IO cables. They could have at least extended the steel of the case to cover these wires.One other thing. NZXT, uou should make your front IO cables braided! It would look so much better and I'm surprised case manufacturers don't do this already. The front IO cables for this thing are not pretty to look at (even though you'll hardly notice them thanks to the excellent cable management)Oh, one warning to people with OCD, there was a bit of an uneven panel gap between the front panel and the top panel. It's very minor and hardly noticable, but people who get bugged by this type of thing should keep that it mind. I'd say it's definitely within acceptable manufacturing standards.I'm still loving the case and would definitely recommend it if it suits your needs.
