The really tiny mini-ITX cases are often not marketed by the well-known large case manufacturers, but rather by smaller start-ups, etc., as “kits.” NZXT intends to change all of that and make the entire mini-ITX experience simple and uncomplicated, even if you are a first-time builder. Super-small mini-ITX builds are quite specialized.
They just debuted their H1, a 13.6 L mini-ITX case with a built-in 650 W 80 PLUS Gold power supply, 140 mm AIO liquid CPU cooler, space for two 3.5-inch hard drives, and even enough for full-size graphics cards. Let’s have a look at how NZXT managed to fit into this case and how they made it both practical and simple to construct.

Packaging
The retail packaging for the NZXT H1 is not much bigger than the case itself. A picture of the H1 is on the front, while a closer shot and some information about the case are on the reverse.
A comprehensive list of features and specifications is printed on the box’s other two sides. When we open the package, we can see that the case is well-protected by substantial pieces of Styrofoam, and it is enclosed in a plastic bag to prevent scratches.
