Square Enix and NZXT celebrate Nier’s franchise 15th anniversary with the H5 Flow Nier Eidtion

To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the NieR franchise, NZXT has unveiled a special edition of its H5 Flow mid-tower chassis. Revealed during a livestream honouring the ninth anniversary of NieR: Automata, this enclosure is a dedicated tribute to the series' most iconic characters. 

The primary highlight of this case (via Guru3D) is the expansive dual-sided artwork that covers both side panels. One side of the chassis showcases 2B from NieR: Automata, while the opposite panel features Kainé from NieR Replicant. This design choice ensures that the franchise's aesthetic is visible regardless of how the PC is oriented on a desk. Beyond the high-quality character wraps and exclusive anniversary branding, the case retains the sleek, minimalist profile characteristic of the NZXT lineup.

Inside, the chassis is identical to the H5 Flow (2024) refresh. It uses a high-airflow vertical layout with a perforated mesh front panel and a dedicated GPU intake at the bottom. Internal compatibility remains robust, supporting ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, as well as modern graphics cards up to 410 mm in length. For cooling, builders can install up to a 360 mm radiator in the front and a 240 mm radiator at the top, while maintaining the baseline model's performance standards.

The internal cable management features include the familiar wide channels, hooks, and straps that simplify the building process and manage cables. Because the internal frame and mounting options have not been altered, current H5 Flow accessories and fan configurations will fit this edition without issue. Priced at 31,680 yen (about £150), it seems the anniversary edition will carry a premium over the standard model, reflecting its status as an officially licensed collectible for dedicated fans of the Square Enix property. The case is scheduled to be released on March 2nd.
