my coverage of coputex 2018 is brought to you by gigabyte coolermaster team group and thermaltake hey guys how's it goin and welcome to my coverage of Computex 2018 here from Taipei Taiwan we're getting things started a little bit early over at NZXT we're at the Hyatts and they lane it led us into their Suites even though Computex hasn't actually officially started yet they brought us in and they showed us some really awesome stuff and then they told us that we couldn't tell anyone about it so stay tuned for cool stuff from NZXT in the future but that's really like all I can tell you for now what I'm gonna give you guys is a once-over of this new case this is the H 500 actually the H 500 I it's available as a I for about $100 or the H 500 which doesn't include the intelligent controller and that's only gonna be $70 this is the replacement to the s 340 which is NZXT s insanely popular case I've used it in builds before and I think they've done some really good work improving it adding some more features to it and also slightly changing the design while maintaining a lot of their same aesthetic from before but updating it to make it a bit cleaner now of course you're gonna have tempered glass on the outside of this actually have that piece right here I like what they've done with this because they put a metal bracket across the top so you can actually remove it with a single thumb screw at the back it pops out and it's got a couple plugs that stick in there to keep it securely in place that's another thing about this case is that the entire front piece actually here from the top to the front is a solid piece so you can no longer just grab the bottom and pop this front part off but they have added a bit of space here in front of where your fans or potentially a radiator go for the front intake so you do have actual space for air flow to get in there at the front here there's a small dust filter just across the bottom and you can pop that off if you remove the opposite side panel so easy way to clean the dust up that might collect in there since that's where the majority of the air flow is going to come as well as the rear side in the back there's actually ventilation down the entire thing and there's also a removable dust filter right there you can remove that dust filter if you need to clean the dust or you can just remove the entire side panel and clean it out that way for front panel connectors that keeping things basic with the power reset and a couple USB 3.0 ports maybe I can't convince them to make a like an elite version of this that has a USB type-c port I don't know I just do that that's probably a lie right they can that neither confirm nor deny the existence of that you're on the inside we have a couple SSD trays I just have a little thing on the side that you can pop in remove those since this is a grid here you can actually reposition those if you want to - if you have one SSD and you don't want it to seem lonely with an empty second bracket or you can pop these off flip it around to the back and there's a couple SSD mounts on the back of the motherboard tray so pop those in there and put your SSD wherever you want the SSD to be if it's pretty SSD or if it's an ugly SSD everyone's going from should be obvious for included fans we have 220 millimeters they're both set up for exhaust by default but of course you can reposition them if you want to 120 at the top and 120 at the back speaking of the back if you spring for the H 500 aversion you will get a vertical GPU mount right here if you get the standard H 500 you won't get that but it is compatible so you could add that in the future if you want of course your airflow is going to suffer just a little bit there actually Dimitri was here what written we arrived he actually de flowered this case and did the peel right in front of my eyes I couldn't believe it I just but you know Dimitri he's he's all about that peel but it is a great feature if you're gonna plan to do water cooling in this case because water cooling what they vertical mount looks really pretty especially we have a block that has a can see the fluid inside it's a good thing to do opposite side panel removes with just a couple thumb screws pretty standard here at the back is what makes this the iverson which is this NZXT control hub you can connect three fans to this as well as one LED Channel and of course you can daisy chain more LED strips off of that if you so desire and then NZXT has an entire eco system that works with their cam software if you want to add additional control devices I did a build in the H 200 I a few months back where I dopant to that and I didn't have the most easy time with that because when you're trying to in to involve so many different LED devices in a case there's a lot of wiring involved but NZXT is working on some new stuff to help out with that again I can't give you guys many details about that but in the future they're continuing to evolve this ecosystem and make things better one thing I really like about the design for these new H series cases is the cable routing channeling that they have going on here across the top a little bit here on the side and also for this case again for the eye version they've actually added an LED strip that's just behind the NZ T crossbar here in the middle and that will give a glow right there and I'm told it looks really cool but maybe in the future I'll do building this and can actually show you how it looks down in the basement you have plenty of room for your power supply and there's also a to drive hard drive cage or a 3.5 inch drive cage here and you can also reposition that so give yourself a little bit extra room room if you want to put a pump down there or you know stuffed animals or any anything else you might want to fit in the basement something you want to hide but also make functional finally as every case should have power supply filters down in there at the bottom the s340 had that too so that's kind of an expectation but just wanted to also show you guys that it's there this case is available right now so go ahead and buy one if you're interested again just $70 for the standard version $100 for the H 500 eversion with the intelligent controller and the LED strips a nice upgrade if you go for that but that's all for my coverage here at the NZXT suite at Computex I want to say a big thank you to my sponsors of course Thermaltake Coolermaster gigabyte and team group and thank you guys so much for watching this video we'll be back soon with more coverage and hit the thumbs up button on your way out thanks for watching
