This will be my presentation for my daily use PC, sort of a review on the case I was waiting for.
And after waiting a couple of months for the right case to arrive at Brazil, my Project Tesseract is completed.

Opening this bad boy
A comparison with my
Lan Box Project (Versa H15)

I gotta say, when I first started removing the screws on the glass pannel, I noticed they were overtighten, and was afraid it might have damaged the glass in someway.
But I was wrong, NZXT made the finish around the thread of the thumbscrews in rubber, as well the insertion point of the glass. So no direct contact between metal and glass here. Thumbs up to the attention to detail NZXT.
Starting the strip down of it
The screws that came with the case are the ones listed above.
Notice that, no motherboard screws are included, only the stand-offs (amateur error NZXT).
But, it was nice of them to identify the plastics of each type of screw. This way is easier to know what you will need to use on the build.
Hhmmmm... Maybe a future adaptation...
Now, for my favorite part ever:
CABLE MANAGEMENT!
Cable Management in this case is just flawless and easy to do.
It will get beatiful in anyway you do it.
I used sleeved Cablemods on this build. It replaces the OEM included with the G3 Series.
Deciding for the best route for the GPU Cables
Preparing and cleaning everything before entering in the case (each part of this build was cleaned to avoid the minimun dust as possible inside the case)
This is how my Cable Management went in the end, on the back of it
Clean view on the front
Now, one cool thing included in the "H" series is the front mount radiator bracket. This does help a lot installing the fans and radiator outside the case, for easily mounting it later on.
One thing I did not like is, it doesn't have a orientation on the correct position you need to mount.
And you need to mount it correctly, in order to align the front cover holes. NZXT could make one of the mounting holes in a different position, so this way you can have only one way to mount it.
Well, either way, I needed to unmount the bracket and front coolers to reassemble it correctly.
Detail to the non-aligned bracket/holes.
Well.
After a few small issues, I end up with this final result:
Another future upgrades will come to it in the following months.
Edit:
Sorry for the long post.
Here's a Tesseract from Marvel to compensate the long trip:
Well.
That's it.
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.
Regards
