Specifications and Features

Checking the goods

NZXT had already themed cases for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Fallout 4 as part of its CRFT product line. NZXT teamed up with Blizzard Entertainment for "the First Overwatch-themed PC chassis" with the new Overwatch Edition of their H500 mid-tower chassis.  Aside from the aesthetics, not much is different about the actual H500 design. It comes in a black, white, and orange color combination, and both the front of the case and the side are stamped with the Overwatch logo, while the entire Overwatch name is also on the side of the case.

"The new, special edition H500 Overwatch Edition midtower showcases NZXT’s signature design with a sleek look that any hero would be proud to have in their arsenal. Featuring an all-steel construction in black, a cable management system for streamlined building, and a luminous Overwatch logo on the front panel, this special H500 chassis is perfect for the Overwatch player looking to outfit their rig for battle."

Features for the H500 Overwatch Edition mid-tower case:

  • Features the iconic Black, White, and Orange colors of Overwatch
  • A luminous Overwatch logo brightly displayed on the front panel
  • Modern design and builder-friendly features
  • Premium, all-steel construction with the sleek H Series aesthetic
  • Tempered glass side panel showcases your build
  • Wire management is made easy with an intuitive, patent-pending cable management system
  • Water-cooling installation is simplified using a removable bracket for either all-in-one CPU coolers or custom loop configurations
GPU clearance can be up to 381mm long, CPUs up to 165mm tall. As for storage, there is room for up to two 3.5″ drives and up to two 2.5″ drives. The new H500 Overwatch Edition mid-tower case is priced at $149.99.

H500 and H500i

Allow me a brief explanation of the difference between the H500 and the H500i. There are no differences chassis wise, these are the same cases. The H500i versions, however, have been fitted with a smart fan- and addressable RGB controller added, plus two NZXT Hue + addressable RGB strips. But chassis wise, it's all the same.
