NZXT as a company had been continually improving their products in my personal opinion. The H500 and H500i mid-towers are nearly identical PC cases except that the H500i has RGB, the ability to vertically mount the video card (Use of the vertical GPU mounting bracket is optional and requires a user-supplied GPU riser cable). The H500i also has an optional Adaptive Noise Reduction fan control mode in CAM (NZXT's software). I believe the price is very good. The patented cable management system might be very good.

    Airflow doesn't look good to me.

    Based on the pictures it is difficult to say where the airflow from the front comes from.

    The case does look good but like others have said I wonder about airflow.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Looks like the airflow is from the bottom and top front slots. I am going to try this in a design to see if there's a difference very soon!

    Airflow is actually "ok" in this case.
    Not a HAF comparable, but it's ok.
    G.N. did a review on it already.

    Thanks for the feedback. I was a bit worried about the airflow
