NZXT Hades
Feb 6th, 2010 | By StevenBrowsing NZXT’s website, I found this specification data on the Hades.
Listed below is an extended version of the Hades features, this information is also listed on NZXT’s website here.
- Expansion galore: Nine 5.25″ bay setup or Five 5.25″ and Four 3.5″
- Latest Hardware Support: VGA clearance room for 300mm cards like the ATI 5970
- Dual 200mm intake Large air system: 200mm front fan, dual top 140mm fan, Side 200mm fan, rear 120mm exhaust. NZXT includes the chassis with all fans except for one top 140mm fan
- Control the flow: Gaming, overclocking, or office work the dual 8W per channel fan control allows control over the dual 200mm fans that spin up to 150 CFM each
- Monitor your system: A three C/F temperature display at front panel allows the user to see temperatures inside the chassis even with the door closed. A slant on the door allows for easier viewing from above.
- Punched side panel: Besides aesthetics, the side mesh and extrusion allows for even greater and ease of wire management on the right side panel
- Meshed front: 5.25″ meshed bays, meshed door, and meshed bottom panel allows for air to flow into the system with ease.
- Wire Routing: Motherboard punched holes allows for quick CPU bracket removable and optimal wire routing.
- NZXT Solid State bracket allows for two SSD drives to be installed
- Pre-drilled water cooling holes on the backplate
- Front mounted 2 USB, Audio, and E-SATA ports
- Mounting holes for dual radiator at the top
- Removable filter at the bottom PSU
Overall I was quite impressed with the included features of the Hades. As with most new cases, a 2.5″ adapter has been included for your SSD’s. Also, the ability to add a 300mm graphics card is a plus for those who have purchased high end graphics cards. This amount of room should allow expansion without any problems. Notice that there are mounting holes for a dual radiator at the top of the chassis; we will touch on this later.
