In 2023, prominent American manufacturer NZXT introduced a new line of extremely serious computer cases, the H9, which should interest enthusiasts and gamers in search of something unusual. These are panoramic Midi Tower models with glass interiors and an additional camera in which the user can remove the power supply, storage devices and cable chaos. The front and one of the side panels are made of tempered glass, the other side panel is mesh for better ventilation.


At first glance, the idea of the H9 series has many similarities with other two-chamber cases from the H6 series. But upon closer inspection, the difference becomes more obvious. In the H9 series, the manufacturer has thoroughly worked on ventilation: virtually all metal panels on the top, bottom and sides are covered with perforations for more efficient release of hot air, and at the bottom there is an additional platform for three fans for direct airflow of the video card and M.2 SSD.

As is customary with NZXT, at the start of sales (note: spring 2023), the public was shown several versions of the H9 with the Flow and H9 Elite prefixes. The Elite version has fewer mesh panels, and some of the fans are equipped with LEDs. In terms of design and workmanship, they have something in common with the H6 series and hits of past years like the NZXT H700. That is, these are top-end products with mounting brackets, a nice design, cable management, optional lighting and large capacity, allowing you to install very powerful and large components without worrying that something will not fit or overheat.
