I take a look at the all new NZXT H2 - is it up the Phantoms high standards?

Love the honesty, tbh my fab vid of yours:p

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@ii69HD search for the r3 vs H2 video ;)

[vuashke]

sorry dudans, ive forgotten if id asked this or not so i aplogise if this has already been answered, but:

how does build quality affect things in a practical sense? yes, i know the padding/magnetic top/optical drive bays are flimsy and weak, but how does that affect much, apart from MAYBE a little bit of extra time actually putting drives in or installing the fan? it seems to just be an aesthetics thing to me

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@vuashke the airflow design for the front of the case is utter fail dude. who ever designed this case has never actually used or understands PC's at all.

You are the only reviewer that dislikes this case ;P

I like that but yeah this case sucks if you are going for watercooled system but i think the case is great 'nuff said.

It is so much better than R2 just a little bit smaller

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@uzor123 Indeed but maybe Im the only one that understands from an egineers point of view. The Fractal R3 beats this case on every single comparison.

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@backtoearth1983 I agree, but me pointing out the negatives is not wrong. I honestly felt let down with this after the Phantom. NZXT should have made changes when they bought this design. It just feels like a bad R3 copy OR like it was designed with a calculator.

[JChan1026]

Sure Fractal does have a better quality but it's 20 bucks more and MUCH heavier. Plus the Fractal may be unavailable in certain countries (like here in HK). The H2 is not really THAT bad as u described. =)

I had to come back and see this review... That was brutal, haha. Love the videos, even as someone not that bothered about overclocking.

who came back because of the teaser for the havik 140

NZXT butthurt? 

[TearsOfWar1]

I hope all the case designers out there take your advice.

@uzor123 The problem with almost all of the people who makes reviews of PC components is that they get the gear for free, and if they give too many negative reviews they will no longer receive these components for free from the producers.

Buttom line: You have to be very skeptical when you read these reviews, because they might not be very objective.

10:58 "I broke it, ah.. nevermind" LOL!!

@TimeToLiveCustoms Yea haha, got a good laugh outa that one. I guess NZXT won't be sending you anything until they can stand an honest review:P
