NZXT has simply introduced a model new case the refines the already easy and sensible look of its older H7 Stream design. The brand new and up to date NZXT H7 Stream PC case has some actually intelligent additions that make it simpler than ever earlier than to construct a clean-looking gaming PC with minimal effort.
The unique NZXT H7 Stream case impressed us sufficient with its design, even when it by no means fairly made it to our greatest PC case information, though its sibling, the NZXT H6 Stream has a spot on it. Nevertheless, with the brand new H7 Stream, NAXT has introduced some real ingenuity to its design.
The important thing new characteristic right here, aside from the entrance and high panel designs that simply look extremely clear, is the brand new decrease fan mount. NZXT has inbuilt a cutaway beneath the case to help air being pulled into the chassis, however then cleverly dropped the fan mount space into this void, so your chosen followers sit flush with the remainder of the case’s base.
Finishing this look is the truth that the ability provide shroud space of the outdated design has moved. The PSU now sits vertically behind the fan space, however not behind the motherboard, so this isn’t a brilliant extensive case like so many goldfish bowl designs lately, such because the Hyte Y70.
In reality, to maintain the brand new NZ Stream sensibly sized, NZXT has additionally determined to not add help for any of the varied rear-cable motherboard requirements, which it believes would add a substantial quantity of width.
The corporate additionally identified that the shortage of a real customary for these new connection varieties means it’s not well worth the effort to engineer compatibility into the case, just for there to be a strong likelihood that neither present system finally ends up as a normal.
Nevertheless, the brand new H7 Stream wasn’t the primary case to catch our eye after we entered NZXT’s demo space on the Computex tech commerce present in Taipei. As an alternative, it was the corporate’s first case created in 2005 and proven off right here as a celebration of the corporate’s twentieth anniversary that stood out.
The GUARDIAN is an absolute basic throwback to PC design and modding of the time. Even then, it wouldn’t have been to everybody’s style – at a time when actually inspiring mods like Orac3 and WMD have been being constructed, I might’ve steered effectively clear. Nevertheless, I keep in mind many circumstances of this type again within the day.
Styled as if the titular guardian is embodied within the case with a warrior’s helmet-like entrance part, and armor-like rivets on its aspect panel, there’s no fragile glass right here. Simply actual metal!
Again to constructing a clean-looking PC in a case like the brand new Stream H7, NZXT has additionally created a brand new vary of followers that conjoin two or three followers collectively as a single unit with a single cable, similar to with the brand new Hyte FP12 Duo and Trio followers.
Not like the same Hyte fan system, these new NZXT F Sequence RGB Core followers use customary RGB and fan cables, simply mixed right into a single handy cable. Like Hyte, although, the pricing of those followers is identical as shopping for the identical variety of particular person followers, when to us it looks as if they really ought to be barely cheaper. Nevertheless, they do create a splendidly clean-looking system and make cabling a lot simpler.
