Best Buy also has NZXT H1 Version 2 Small Form-Factor ITX Case w/ 750w PSU for $199.99. Shipping is free, otherwise free curbside pickup is available where stock permits.
Have this. Great case. Easiest and fastest case I've ever built in, the more annoying cable management is already done for you.
I owned version 1 but got a free return when the case was recalled, can't speak specifically to v2 but the builds are mostly the same. The H1 is very easy and quick to build in. For $200 you get a case, SFX power supply, AIO cooler, and PCIe riser for your graphics card. This is a pretty good deal.
Just built using this case last night. Replaced fans with noctua. Runs cool and quiet. I5 13400 and 4070 for reference.

I have this and run 6800xt in it with no problem. Cooling is fine. I added an external fan on the rear to help exhaust. I like it. I've built big PC's and prefer the small form factor.
Definitely an underrated case. Are there better cases with better airflow? Sure. But the ease of the build and what you get included is what makes the case.
Personallly, I manage the speed of the aio and radiator fan through my motherboard. I've replaced the stock 140 with an Arctic p14. I had a Corsair sf750 laying around so I swapped the psu. Sold the stock psu it came with to recoup some money. All of these mods have made a huge improvement in sound within the case and probably longevity of the aio since it's not running 100% speed like it did from the factory.
Got the version 1 of this case two years ago. I really like the look of my completed build. However, I had to RMA the power supply, which died within the first week, (version 1 is a rebadged seasonic); then the riser cable (I was getting WHEA errors for a year before I isolated the problem to the cable); and finally the AIO began working increasingly poorly because it fills up with gunk, which is a widely known issue with the version 1 AIO. I ended up using a thermalright SI-100 cooler which works significantly better than the AIO ever did. This version 2 of the case has upgraded parts compared to version 1, so the shouldn't be as many issues, but during each RMA, I had to wait a couple weeks for a new part AFTER sending in the old part.
Happy with the case now that everything has been fixed.
It was really easy to build since everything that required a lot of time was already done. But It's loud and thermal isn't great. IO is on bottom so you need to tilt or lay it down on side if you want to access the ports.
I love this case too. Easy build. I don't think it's loud but I'm comparing to my previous build. Running a 6750xt and thermals are fine. Serious question here; any one manage to get some RGB action in this case? My card has RGB and a single strip more inside the case would look pretty cool, IMO.
Seems like a very good deal and a great case/combo. Only thing to be aware of is that has a max GPU length of 324mm. Seems like cards keep on getting larger/longer, especially on the AMD side so you may be a bit restricted.
Love the case, easiest SFF case to build in imo, even though it's rather large at 15 liters. Aesthetics and thermals are good, only issue I've had with it is the PSU. It doesn't have a 0 rpm mode so it'll drone at idle. I'd recommend swapping it out for a Corsair SF750 but that negates the saving and convenience of getting the case, PSU, and AIO in one nice package.
Purchased this case and am currently running a 12700K and 6900XT , no such thermal issues as detailed below . Runs cool and quiet on idle and in game . GPU hotspot rarely hits above 75 degrees in the hardest to run titles . Make sure to use CAM software to address fan speeds in regards to GPU temps . Should help to mitigate the rare circumstances that the thermals could be compromised.
