  • The NZXT Hades is a very interesting case. It has a lot of features, and the fit and finish of the unit is really impressive. It was not an easy build compared to many other cases I’ve worked on, as proper cable routing does take some time and the driv...

  • 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...

  • It’s nice to see the NZXT Hades take a good step forward in internal case aesthetics by offering a solid black internal chassis paint j0b. It also goes a long way to compliment the outward case design. Unfortunately, you can’t go by NZXT’s website pi...

  • Abstract:  If you dig the Hades’ unique design, it offers a number of useful features normally reserved for much more expensive products. For under a hundred bucks, this case is definitely worthy of consideration.

  • The Hades case from NZXT is a very well thought out and unique design for a mid-tower case. The cables running through the drive bay area was the only drawback (though minor) to the overall layout of the Hades case. The lack of the second exhaust fan ...
