[ IDENTIFIED ENCLOSURE // ATX TEMPERED-GLASS MID-TOWER ]
NZXT H510 Elite
210 × 460 × 428 mm (W × H × D, feet included); ATX tempered-glass mid-tower. Board fit: ATX, microATX and Mini-ITX; seven horizontal slots and two vertical positions (vertical mounting hardware is separate). GPU: Up to 381 mm with the front fan/radiator stack absent; front cooling hardware reduces the usable length. CPU cooler: 165 mm maximum CPU-cooler height. Radiator: Front up to 280 mm and rear up to 120 mm; top position is for a 120/140 mm fan, not a top radiator. PSU: NZXT does not publish a strict maximum PSU length; approximately 180 mm or shorter is a practical target with the drive cage/cables installed. Measure longer units against the exact layout.
REVISION / CONFIGURATION CAVEAT: H510 Elite is the glass-front Elite version with Smart Device V2; it is not interchangeable with H510 Flow or later H5 cases. GPU maximum changes with the front radiator/fan stack.

Compatibility and service notes
Preserve the tempered-glass panels, vertical-slot covers and Smart Device wiring; transport glass separately when possible. Confirm front radiator depth and GPU length together.
- Check GPU length and thickness, its power-plug bend, cooler height and radiator/fan assembly against the same installed configuration; advertised maxima may conflict.
- Confirm motherboard standoffs match the board holes and inspect front-panel, USB and fan-controller headers before powering the build.
- Record the exact SKU, manual revision, removed brackets and unused drive hardware. Measure the individual chassis before shipping or fitting nonstandard parts.
