When NZXT debuted the H7 Flow in 2022, it was a solid upgrade from the H710 series it was replacing. It’s a year later, and NZXT has added another case to its H7 lineup — the H7 Flow RGB.

A metal panel is standard practice for this side of the case, but NZXT could have differentiated the H7 Flow RGB by adding a second glass panel. I know what you’re thinking — who wants to see cables?
