NZXT H510 Elite - Compact ATX PC Gaming Case - RGB LED & Smart Fan Control - Tempered Glass - Matte White

There's a lot of people slamming this case in the reviews. Yelling about cable management - fussing out how thin the metal is. And I don't get it. I've been building computers since 1997. Truth be told, in spirit, I still have that first computer. Pieces and parts have been slowly upgraded over the years. Nothing is original anymore, but I still feel like it has been an old faithful friend. I bought this case after using an an open frame case for about 8 years. I moved into this case because I wanted a USB C port on the front, and the earphone jack on the old case was shot.This case is totally fine. I think people who are complaining are either 1) folks who work for competitors of this company, or 2) saw "Gaming" in the title and figured ALL gaming cases should be designed and built to the same standards as a $700 case. Listen folks, this is a $70 case. And it's a fine $70 case. It's a horrible $ 700 case. But its a great $70 case. People complained that it's hard to get the glass panel out. No it isn't. Unscrew one screw, lean the glass panel toward you and lift it out. Reverse the process to put it back in. If you're worried you're gonna break it, that is your own issue. It isn't an issue with the case. Put on your big boy pants and lift out the glass. If you think the cable management sucks, then buy a $20 case and compare the two. If you think the metal is too thin, I've seen cars with thinner sheet metal. I will say that this appears to be stamped and formed. That's a tough thing to do. I know, because I design sheet metal parts. Just because you see it everywhere doesn't mean that it is easy to do. It is very easy to get your angles "not quite right" in that process. And there is some small evidence of that in this case. But I had zero difficulty getting the pieces apart, installing my system, and reassembling the case. So it's not shoddy workmanship. What it is, is a fine case for $ 70.The case is quiet! It's on huge rubber feet that do a great job of dampening sound and vibration. Sitting here typing this review, the keyboard is much much louder than the fans in the case.The manufacturer provided a great selection of screws to meet your needs. And they even sent along black zip-ties to help with your cable management. As you can hopefully see from my images, the cables come in exactly where I need them and are completely unobtrusive. Sorry about the glare. I should have taken the photo before I put the glass back in. But it was just so easy to do, I had it done before I even thought about it.Haters gonna hate. But I'll say it again. This is a horrible $ 700 case. But it is a fantastic $ 70 case. People, take some advice. Stop reviewing items based on what you WANT them to be, and review them based upon what they were actually sold as. And if you order something and you thought it would be something different, don't slam the review unless they actually mislead you. Just return it and keep quiet. That was YOU messing up. Read closer next time. Blasting a product because you wanted it to be something completely different when the description was 100% accurate doesn't help anybody.Last thought, if you are looking for a decent case that doesn't break the bank, this is a good one.

I purchased this case to contain a new Ryzen 3600x build on a micro ATX board. I was attracted to it based on the simplicity of its looks and the very clean design. Its a very minimalist design and that appealed to me. The build went well and I had no problems building in the case. One minor complaint was that many screws were tightened extremely hard out of the factory but my cordless drill managed to get them out easy enough. It was just tough to do it by hand.That being said, the cable management on the rear of the mobo panel is excellent. There's a ton of room behind the power supply shroud if you don't need to use the hard drive tray. If you do need to use it, there is still a lot of room, but you may find that area more cramped.Airflow into the front of the case does seem restricted with a solid front panel but the case comes configured with two exhaust fans and those have been plenty to keep air moving in through the side and bottom vents. Running my 3600x at full load and temps have not gotten above 75C with the stock cooler. I imagine this will only improve when I add an after market cooler soon. There is also a fan try in the front where you can add more case fans or an AIO cooler. The cable bar does a nice job of hiding the cables that are routed to the back of your mobo while giving it a nice accent for looks. Its a very nice combination of functionality and style. The tempered glass panel puts it all on display, so being able to keep the interior clear of cable clutter while looking good is a great part of using this case.All in all I am very happy with this. Is the airflow the best available? No. Is it more than adequate to keep your CPU and GPU running cool? Yes it is and it looks great while doing so. Throw in the fact that its made of extremely solid materials and I am very pleased with my choice.

Bought this case for my child and she has it now for almost 4 years, the case transparent side allows to view the internal specially if you led lighting but I mainly use to check dust collection. The vents are with proper fans provide great ventilation. The case came preassemble so there was no time wasted in assembly other than putting a new power supply. and of course the board. The case is large enough to fit an ATX board and the ports on the front allow for peripheral addition so long as you motherboard support additional inputs.
