NZXT H2 Flow Mini Tower Review – Small, but More Airy than Expected!
NZXT’s H2 Flow Mini‑ITX tower targets the high‑performance small‑form‑factor market with a compact 20.7 L chassis that prioritises airflow and liquid‑cooling readiness. The case features a distinctive hybrid side panel—tempered glass above a fine mesh intake—creating separate fresh‑air and exhaust zones. Designed for vertical GPU mounting, it includes a pre‑installed PCIe 5.0 riser, SFX/SFX‑L power‑supply support, and tool‑less panels for quick assembly. Review notes solid steel construction, balanced weight (4.55 kg), and a thermal layout that favors liquid cooling over traditional air coolers.
