  • NZXT is a company with a strong focus on gamers and aims to provide the products they need to get the task at hand done. They have given us time and time again some great products at an excellent price point. The competition in this class is fierce an...

  • To be completely honest the NZXT Hades chassis priced in the under 100USD range is quite impressive overall. We did have a few quirks and issues but like we have said in our other reviews nothing is ever perfect. A few key items of note are the effici...

  • The NZXT Hades Crafted Series case is what I would call a Gold Series case. It has fantastic looks, great cooling abilities, and MASSIVE features. The ability to run all of my cables behind the motherboard tray is a HUGE plus and cleaned up the ins...

  • Good performance, Motherboard cutout for easy CPU bracket removal, 2.5" hard drive adapter, Cable management, LCD Temp readout, Dual channel fan controller,
  • Unable to mount liquid cooling radiator with provided mounts
  • NZXT has manufactured a good case and after some modification, Hades has found a place to call home with this reviewer. Beautifully sculpted and outrageous airflow for $89.99 US is astounding. I'd recommend this case to anyone looking for cutting edge...

  • Like nearly all of NZXT's current line of cases, I really like the looks of the new Hades. From what I've seen NZXT has been doing most of their newer chassis in all black, inside and out. It adds a much more finished look to a case when the inter...

  • NZXT Hades is a good option for the user that wants a case full of features (including speed control for the fans and a digital thermometer) but can’t or doesn’t think it is worthwhile buying a more expensive model. For its great cost/benefit...

  Published: 2010-01-21, review by: extremetech.com

  • Abstract:  Though both cases share many features, the Tempest EVO is best suited for cooling junkies and the Hades for those who are content just monitoring their system's temperature(s). From the front, the Hades has a distinct visual edge, and the Tempest EVO looks plainer overall. But the...

  • The NZXT Hades isn’t a bad case overall but it does have some glaring issues that cannot be ignored. The side fan just won’t let you install larger CPU coolers and there really isn’t much room in this case. If you’ve got a large video card then expec...

  • "Nine" Drive Bays, Included Temperature Monitor & Fan Controller, Excellent Ventilation, Filtered Air Intakes, Good Cable Management
  • Crowded at Top of Case, One Unusable Bay, Door Blocks Fan Controllers and Must be Shut to view temperature
  • The NZXT Hades case isn't anything too new or revolutionary from NZXT. It uses a fairly standard internal layout that gives you a total of nine bays in a mid-tower case. These nine bays include four external 5.25" bays, three internal 3.5" HDD bays...
