Introduction
I would like to thank
NZXT for supplying the review sample.
The H series of enclosures from NZXT is their core line-up, with a full spectrum of sizes ranging from the H1 to the H9. We are reviewing the H9 Flow here today, which aims to provide the aesthetics and DNA that NZXT always strives for, but in a big and spacious package. The "Flow" variant puts a focus on providing as much air flow as possible using perforated panels in areas where glass is not used. Available in black or white, we received the white variant for review. Let's take a closer look, beginning with the specifications.

Packaging
NZXT ships the H9 Flow in their signature brown box with an outlined closeup of the chassis in the front. There is also a sticker that lets you know which variant and color is inside. Both side panels go into detail about the chassis in multiple languages, with the usual set of bar codes and a model number sticker.
The chassis is secured by two thick Styrofoam spacers, while a clear plastic bag keeps away scratches and fingerprints during the factory packing process.
