NZXT H1 case

[Raji96]

NZXT H1 case seems an easy case for a first build and comes with a cooling system and PSU but it is pricey at £300. I was wondering if there was a similar semi-buit case out there that's slightly cheaper.

 

 

Thank you,

You can literally get a case, a PSU and a cooler for much less and build it yourself, you're not assembling an onboard nav computer for the flying carrot that's going to Mars, it's just a PC, even I can do it and trust me I can be really dumb sometimes.

 

Just don't think "oh this is gonna break", if you don't know something read the manuals, you know, those booklets nobody cares about? they contain useful info and even drawings.

Thanks Caroline. It's just a tad daunting embarking on a build with relatively expensive parts and being a novice but yeah that case is so expensive but cable management seemed so sweet

If your looking for a SFF(Small Form Factor) case then the NZXT H1 is  agreat buy - I have one.

 

but if your not bothered about size then it will be cheaper to build using mid ATX cases

For what you are getting it really isn’t expensive.   Keep in mind these are small quality parts.   Gold rated PSU, 140MM AIO cooler and a great case.

It is a very nice looking case! 

I showed it to my daughter for her graduation PC build, and she really liked the look of it. 

Granted, I plan to get the mesh sided one to keep it cooler. 

 

 

But back to your other issue of this being your first build. 

Instead of buying a really great SFF case, head to your local thrift store or if you can an e-cycler. 

See if they will give you a desktop that you can take apart and put back together a couple of times. 

This way, you have an idea on how some parts are tougher than you think and which ones are delicate. 

If you get it to run, great, play around with it. 

THEN, spend your money and follow along with How to Build your PC videos. 

If you haven't watch Scrapyard Wars, then I recommend that, to see the fact that you can build something pretty nice, for fairly cheap. 

 

But just think of it in reverse. This way you can get familiar with the internal components of a PC. 

Before you spend a good portion of money on the final system you want. 

 

OK enough of my rambling.....
