Introduction
I would like to thank
NZXT for supplying the review sample.
The NZXT H-Series refresh ups the model number of their cases by 10, resulting in the H210, and the H210i for their smallest ITX variant we are reviewing today. While the tooling, outside design, and framework has essentially stayed the same, there are subtle but noticeable updates to the series to warrant the refresh. We received the all-black sample for review.

Packaging
NZXT ships the H210i in a full-color box, which is becoming increasingly rare these days. They are aiming to stand out of the mostly brown and black competition in some stores that tend to put out whole pallets of product for people to grab and go. On the bigger panels, you can see images of the chassis itself, while both smaller sides list unique features as well as specifications.
Two thick Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place, and a plastic bag protects the enclosure from fingerprints and scratches during packing at the factory.
