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...
Distinctive look, Great cooling performance, Quiet, Nice cable management design, Temperature monitoring panel, Fan controls included
Slightly cramped interior, Troublesome cable management grommets, Drive installation more involved than most cases
After working with this chassis, I can safely say that there's nothing hellish about NZXT's Hades mid-tower ATX case. It's feature rich with a good cable management design and a drive cage design built for maximum configuration options. The cooling p...

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.
The NZXT Hades is a great looking case with top-tier features and expandability for under $100, so this should be a case any user should strongly consider purchasing if looking for a mid tower....
Good Looking Design, Toolless installation features, Ample room for components, Good cooling features with room for expansion, LCD Temperature display, Good design efforts to keep the case dust free,
Nontypical size for fan mounts, Topmounted I/O ports don't allow tucking the case into tight spaces, Hard Drives mounting orientation could be facing to the side, Cable management grommets easily come out of their holes
NZXT is no newcomer when it comes to quality cases, and the Hades is no exception. The Hades shows that both form and function can be had in an affordable chassis. Such high points as the sleek looks, ample room, and useful cable management system are ...
