As we’ve come to expect from NZXT, the Hades is another unique chassis with appealing visuals. In terms of cooling, the Hades has a lot to offer with the four fan system although the noise levels might irk some users. The temperature sensor display ad...
The NZXT Hades case impressed us with its quiet, simplistically functional performance and useful features. Starting at the front the refreshingly easy to use magnetic closure for the front door panel was a pleasure to use in addition to being quiet a...
Abstract: A seemingly never-ending stream of press releases bombards the review world with flowery language and hard-to-prove claims of superiority, often from case manufacturers maintaining that a specific model is perfect for nearly anyone’s gaming rig. In the...
I installed a full ATX motherboard, a dual core Athlon with a decently large cooler, 8GB of DDR2 RAM, an overclocked AMD/ATI 5770, two hard drives and a 600 watt power supply in this case; there was never a point where I felt like I needed more room. ...
Fan control, Temperature probes, Large fans, Excellent cable management, Price
Door fan can interfere with larger coolers, Hard drive racks a bit involved
Overall, the NZXT Hades offers a ton of value and features. The large fans are fairly quiet and fan controlled for a nearly silent build. The temperature probes are an interesting extra you don’t see in many cases, especially at the sub-$1...

Once upon a time, I believed that the best case on the market was the Antec 900. Many enthusiasts still believe that, but I am no longer one of them. For me, that case is the NZXT Hades. The Hades offers superior airflow, superior cable management and...
Up until the last moment, the Hades had surprised us. Build quality isactually very good and much better than previous NZXT cases we've looked at. The front door is a bit of an eye sore, but apart from that it has all the hallmarks of a great value case...

Appearance it just looks good, Ventilation 300CFM with very quiet fans, Perfectly set up for water cooling, Great cable management,
Motherboard tray isn't removable, Cold! With all of this air exhausting out of the case, your legs and feet will be cold if your system is sitting under your desk.
