Editor’s note:

NZXT H9 Elite has been well received by foreign players, especially the serious players who like to show off their own machines. If you don’t want to see your own machine from above all day, you can consider Flow H9. Actually, the cooling effect is better. It’s a shame. Without the RGB fan and the HUB, wow… it’s really hard to choose between Flow and Elite.
