NZXT Has Gone Airflow?!

[JUNI0R]

Well, it's finally happened everyone, it seems NZXT has finally joined us in the 21st centrury with the new H510 Flow. I'm excited to see how it does

It's about time. NZXT have always done design very well, but yeah, the airflow has generally been poor, good to see them addressing it.

 

[Steveyg]

Such a simple fix too, it'll be a great case with that one change. The NZXT's always look good

It's great that they've finally done that.... but I've got to say, she's not very pretty anymore

No, can't say i like the look of that front panel, and definitely don't like the 2 tone

Now this is the video I’ve been waiting for!

I won't be able to watch until later tonight mate, would you be able to summarise for now?

Overpriced, lacking fans to optimally cool it, they recommend several others instead such as fractal meshify S2, phanteks p400a, corsair 4000d.

They say only buy it if you really want the design, but it's well overpriced vs the competition.

 

[Scott]

It's actually really impressive what they have managed to do.....

NZXT - A bit of compromise on airflow to get a nice, elegant design.
NZXT Airflow - Entirely compromise the elegant design in order to offer better airflow...... and bump the price up while you're at it.

The idea is great, we all want it all.... the execution leaves a lot to be desired IMO and the fact that the pricing is off makes it a bit of a laughing stock.

lokks ugly, and not worth it for the price

And now the results of the Swiss jury....

Well @Steveyg wanted a summary of the video

 

[SpyderTracks]

I wonder if they took such a hit on the original case that they're trying to recoup losses.

by drilling a load of 5mm holes in the front................

 

[Steveyg]

I actually like how it looks, I'd say it's still fairly small though

Don't see why you would buy when the alternatives are so good for cheaper though

I would choose the Fractal S2 any day of the week, amazing case.

I quite like the Panteks but I really like the 4000D

I'm most likely going to end up buying a 4000D early next year when I get sick of looking at Frankensteins monster

@Steveyg , have you thought about going to work for NZXT in their 510 to 510 flow conversion facility.........

 

[JUNI0R]

Think I agree with Stevey on this one. I really quite like how it looks. If people are buying 3rd party $60 conversation panels for their H510 elite off Etsy, I’d imagine they’ve got it in the bag. If PCS adds it and for a fair price, I can see it being very popular here, although I think I’d also go for something like the 4000D AF or Meshify C if I had the choice, personally.
