NZXT Hush Series 11-Bay Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Reviews
The drive bays provide simple installation, but the layout is nothing too special. Airflow is also mostly unobstructed when the door is closed too. The case door is nice since you have access to front panel buttons even when closed. Cooling on the other hand is well rounded for it's intended effect, QUIET computing.
However the case does come with some seriously nice features. However one has to remember it is a sub-$100 case so expecting full aluminum construction, and high end bundled power supplies are kind of unreasonable. With only 2 120mm fans (1 front and 1 back) the case does not have as much airflow as some other cases, but this makes it ideal for single card, mid range gaming systems, and workstation PCs. The NZXT Hush definitely has a great fit and finish.
The noise dampening material is a foam that reduces rattle of the side panels, and rubber grommet drive mounts further reduce vibration. He must have ordered it from a 3rd party since amazon didnt even sell this at that time. The case is well constructed, and paired with a PSU that doesnt have terribly long cables, you can make an extremely quiet PC with an extremely neat lay out inside for maximum airflow. For the price, the case is definitely a winner.
There was a different version of this case that came with the optional 400 watt power supply so the previous reviewer must have been thinking of that version.
You would be wrong.
Again, you are wrong.
You might think that this case is lined with high quality acoustic foam.
No power supply is included.
You might also expect that this comes with a power supply, probably a 400 watt power supply.
There is some rather low-quality stick-on foam that was coming unstuck I have yet to see how it does on sound dampening, but I'm not hopeful.
I'm not bothering to send it back to amazon because I've already had enough trouble getting one of these cases and hardly need to try to get a second.
Two of the plastic bits that hold the front part on are busted.
besides being backordered, which it might not be when you read this, this item is badly packed and padded, so might take a beating mine did.
