NZXT Announces Cyberpunk 2077 H710i PC Case

[btarunr]

NZXT, a community-driven provider of PC hardware, software, and services, today announces an exclusive Cyberpunk 2077-themed H710i PC case. The case was designed in collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED, for an extravagant entry in NZXT's CRFT lineup of cases. CRFT 09 H710i Cyberpunk offers fans an opportunity to transform their gaming rig into a piece of hardware straight from Cyberpunk 2077's dystopian future. Included with the case is a limited edition Arasaka Corporation Puck and Cyberpunk 2077 chip charm, further reinforcing the case's theme.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a narrative-driven, open-world RPG set in the most vibrant and dangerous metropolis of the future—Night City. The game follows the story of V, a hired gun on the rise in a world of cyber-enhanced street warriors, tech-savvy netrunners, and corporate life-hackers. Featuring CD PROJEKT RED's hallmark concept of choices and consequences, players will face difficult decisions that ripple through the entire game. Winner of over 200 awards, Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the universe of the classic pen & paper RPG system, Cyberpunk 2020.



CRFT 09 Inspiration
The latest entry in NZXT's CRFT line of gaming products was designed to bring the gritty and vibrant world of Cyberpunk 2077 directly to the desks of its biggest fans. The case is based on the style of a powerful entity known as the Arasaka Corporation. Their sterile "substance-over-style" design is painted over with expressive kitsch graffiti—an act of rebellious self-expression by the people of Night City. Altogether, CRFT 09 depicts the never-ending struggle between those trying to eke out a living in the "city of dreams" and the corporate overlords who control all aspects of life in the megalopolis and beyond.

Only 1000 units will be made available worldwide.

• CRFT 09 Features
• A modified H710i skin, based on the Arasaka Corporation's design ethos.
• Graffiti from around Night City on the tempered glass window.
• Cyberpunk 2077 chip charm and Arasaka Corporation Puck included with each case.
• Features Found in the H710i
• Clean, modern design, iconic cable management bar, and uninterrupted tempered-glass side panel showcase your stunning build.
• Aer F120mm fans are included for optimal internal airflow, and the front panel and PSU intakes come with removable filters. Includes a reversible, removable, top-mounted bracket designed for radiators between 240 mm-360 mm, which simplifies the installation of either closed-loop or custom-loop water cooling.
• Use the intuitive NZXT CAM application to monitor and control your build, choosing from presets or custom controls for your built-in RGB lighting and fans to create your dream PC.

Maybe not sh*t because of nzxt, but because cyberfailure 2077.

But yeah, looks really bad for me... and I see 0 resemblence in Cyberfailure 2077.

Well that's perfect fit then.

The performance will be based on the components the buyer selects. This is just a decorated case, chip charm and puck.

Note that the buyer is not required to install and run Cyberpunk 2077 either.

I assume many of these will be scooped up by scalpers who will resell at a premium.

Regardless the NZXT H710 is considered by many reviewers to be a decent mid-tower case.

I own both the H210 (the smaller mini-ITX sibling) and the H1 and the build quality of both are quite satisfactory. I do wish they had a few options (like front mesh panels) that aren't currently available. Neither of my NZXT builds have thermal issues, the cases provide adequate cooling.

By performance I obviously meant case metrics such as airflow and cooling.

Is Cyberpunk in a playable, enjoyable state yet?

I own it and have sunk maybe 3-4 hours into it, and that's 3-4 hours of crashes, restarting and trying various control options to make driving a car feel even vaguely like any other game where you drive a car.

I know they've fixed a lot of the bugs but I'm told there was a ton of missing/abandoned content at launch and was wondering if any of it has been added in yet or whether it's permanently scrapped from the game.

Probably catches on fire... but seriously, this should have been released an year ago.

Here's the GamersNexus review of the H710i

NZXT H710 Case Review: Brute Force Airflow Kind of Works | GamersNexus

stub The NZXT H710 is a slight refresh of the H700 that we reviewed two years ago. To be precise, we reviewed the Smart Device-equipped H700i, but NZXT did us the favor of sending us the base version this time. The appearance and features of the case are almost identical to the original H700, so...

www.gamersnexus.net

which puts the case in the middle of the pack in the CPU torture tests and on the better side of the group in the real world application tests.

It also fairs quite well in their noise-normalized tests and the overall acoustic rankings.

GN's biggest beef was the price which isn't helped here.

There are plenty of other reviews out there and I don't recall reading one that thoroughly trashed the H700 series for their thermal or acoustic performance.

You can fix the air flow problem with stuff like this. https://www.coldzero.eu/search?controller=search&s=nzxt

OT: Thanks for the tip. They sell backplates for my 1080 Ti.

They sell a bit of everything tbh. I recently found out about them when I was poking around at new cases.

Nice joke.

Or, you know, purchase a case with decent airflow for half the price of a NZXT convection oven.

Yeah, everything pretty much has been sorted since way back in March but no one outside of those who actually play the game realize that because haters gotta hate.

 

[Caring1]

... but seriously, this should have been released an year ago.

In true Cyberpunk fashion, it was probably delayed forever due to glitches.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Did they just throw a shit load of stickers at it and see what stuck on?

The 1.30 patch was pretty decent IMHO, most of the glitches the og release had were gone but there are still quite a lot, like cars noclipping thru walls and exploding, missing textures or weird NPCs. My game in particular glitched in the mission you're supposed to catch I think 17 psychos, well, I only have 16 because the remaining one is simply frozen at the site of the mission and can't be interacted with.
One of the endings is quite easy tbh, I won't spoil but it's supposed to be the hardest one.

 

[Totally]

I encountered the the stuck psycho bug also but that was patched in 1.2 it won't fix an existing save that triggered the bug but you revert to an earlier(which i did) start a new game it should be fine.

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

I rather take Fractal Design's Torrent over this case any day.

 

[LiveOrDie]

With the 1st 100 sold you get a free copy of Cybercraps source code.

 

[bonehead123]

barrrrrffffffffffffffff, yuk, puuuuuuuuuke, barrrrrffffffffffffffffffffffff, yuk

I generally like NZXT's stuff, but this is just silly, fuggily, worthless, waste of time & resources etc etc IMHO....

 

[robot zombie]

Wow, it's hideous.

The graffiti really just ruins it. C'mon man. When I think Cyberpunk, I think... graffiti? Because hundreds of other games don't have that in their environments? I get that the exact graffiti is specific to the game, but as a whole it is bog-standard set dressing in a game, not a "cyberpunk" thing. What a half-assed aesthetic

I just don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at. It's such a busy and directionless design. The whole thing just looks cheap.

It really isn't a bad case. I have one minus the 'i,' which is the main thing they understandably got crap for. They have never really been the airflow kings, but their layouts are fine and pretty easy to work with. They have a nice minimalist look. They might have been one of the first to really do that whole look, though everybody does it now. I'm still thinking about going liquid with mine.

I gotta tell you though... just about every single time they try to slap a design on one of these cases, it just doesn't work. Ooof.

 

[AusWolf]

In my opinion, the idea of a Cyberpunk 2077 casemod has the potential to turn up something awesome, but this case looks just like a random, generic case with some random, generic CP77 stuff painted all over it. The idea is good, but the execution seems rushed.

Is Cyberpunk in a playable, enjoyable state yet?

It has been for the last 6 months or so.
