NZXT H2 Silent Mid-Sized Tower

aka NZXT CS-NT-H2-B or H2-001-BK

Conclusion: Seems great!

NZXT H2 Silent Mid-Sized Tower

I snapped off the front door, tried to glue it on and then snapped it off again. While it’s not fragile as fuck, I’m clumsy and it’s not very well made.

2018-05-17 – The manufacturer appears to have replaced this with the H440
2014-07-29 – I used to use Antec Sonata – (computer case)

Probably the best mouse ever made, whose style has never been matched.

The fact that it has a unique style makes it unfortunate and impossible to replace.

External eSATA and internal SATA expansion card.

Low-profile
NOTE: This did not do port multiplication under Linux when I tested it back then. Perhaps it does now.

A tool-free dock. Plug a hard drive in like a floppy. Does not support hot swapping, but doesn’t need to. Turn it off, plug in a hard drive, turn it on.

Has two front-facing IDE ports.

This is an eSATA dual hdd docking station.

Purchased so my Raspberry Pi and then CubieTruck could have good storage.

Has both a USB and an EIDE connector. I bought it for the latter.

Using two hard drives simultaneously requires a USB port which has “port duplication”, a feature which, sadly, my motherboard didn’t have.
