Abstract: Not so long ago, you only had a handful of options if you were looking for a silent case. Luckily, things have changed in 2015. Hardware.Info tested no less than 20 silent cases for this review, and compared them to four of the classics. Which case stri...
Available for under £60, Quite easy to build into, Plenty of storage bays, Modular harddrive cage, Good overall build quality, Comes in black or white
Drive trays are flimsy, Rear side panel tricky to attach, Not as silent as we're led to believe
The H230 is NZXT's attempt at providing mainstream system builders with a little bit of everything. For under £60, the mid-tower chassis offers good build quality backed up by a healthy feature set that includes plenty of storage bays, a modular drive ca...
The NZXT H230 is a fine chassis in many regards, and as with the similarly priced Antiphon we're impressed most notably by the sheer quality of its construction (perhaps with the exception of the drive trays). Its fans also strike a better balance between...
Extra cooling options would be nice, eTeknix says:
“If you're looking for a affordable, silent and very well built chassis for your system, then the NZXT H230 is easily one of the best value for money chassis on the market, plus its clean design would look fantastic in almost any environment”. Share this...
Nice sleek finish, Great price point, Can fit very long cards, plenty of cable management tie down loops, 8 pin EPS routing cutout fits well, Large CPU backplate cutout
Sound Dampening not very effective, Included zip ties are too small to manage many cables, HDD Trays feel flimsy, Cable management space is tight
Upon receiving the H230 chassis and learning is price point and target I was a bit torn as I know NZXTs flair for adding crazy features but at this price point I have looked at more than enough chassis to know what to expect, but NZXT did surprise a bit ...
The H230 is the perfect case for a very compact setup. Trying to fit more than the bare essentials will only result in headache and pain. The case gives excellent value when used for its purpose. The H230 is not for the faint of heart but will work per...
Good sound encapsulation, Sound dampening materials come pre-installed, Tool-less ODD installation process, Tool-less HDD installation process, Comes with two fans, Great modern looks, Loads of space for long GPUs, PSU, and CPU cooler, Top hard-drive cage
Still the flimsy hard drive trays, Plastic ODD locks work, but are inadequate at holding things in place, No rubber grommets on motherboard tray opening, Basic set of contents, No external 3.5" bay, Basic I/O, Taking out a hard drive requires removing t
The NZXT H230 sells for 70 euros including taxes or 70 US dollars excluding taxes. Good sound encapsulation Sound dampening materials come pre-installed Tool-less ODD installation process Tool-less HDD installation process Comes with two fans Great modern...
No rubber inserts, Only two fans included, Restricted airflow from front intake when door is closed
With the exceptional build quality at this price point, and the features that have been implemented, the H230 is really hard to beat. If you are in the market for a very affordable quiet mid-tower chassis that's very well built, I would highly recommen...
OK so lets put this review into perspective. The front panel of the case is all plastic like most cases are , but the color match on our review sample was off by a few shades when put in the right lighting conditions. I was not all that impressed with the...

The NZXT H230 Black Silent Mid-Tower case is a beautiful looking case. The pictures in the review do not do it justice. The case is not very flashy, it doesn't offer LED fans, a windowed side panel, or other features that make cases stand out. What it doe...
