14 DAY TRIAL // NZXT introduced yet another huge, imposing and pseudo-lifelike mid tower personal computer chassis designed in such away as to allow for the implementation of high-end gaming, overclocking or heavy-computing office work configurations. The case, dubbed the Hades, is spacious enough to accommodate even the largest 300mm graphics adapters and has a strong cooling mechanism with adjustable settings, as well as front panel display of internal temperatures.
The Hades has a bottom-mounted power supply and mounting holes for a dual radiator at the top. The product is built with a punched side panel, which enables easy wire management. In addition, motherboard punched holes allow for optimal CPU wire routing.
To ensure setups with great storage capabilities, the chassis has nine drive bays, as well as a solid state bracket that can accommodate two SSDs. The bays themselves, plus the door and button panel, are meshed, allowing for the air to easily flow in and out of the case. The front panel is built with three Celsius/Fahrenheit temperature displays and the slant on the door allows for easy viewing from above.
Of course, any serious casing features a good airflow system. Hades makes use of a dual 200mm intake Large air system, which employs two 140mm top fans to draw the air inside. The side of the case has a 200mm exhaust fan and the rear also has one, although somewhat smaller, namely 120mm. The fans spin at 150 CFM each but the air system is also adjustable and can operate in gaming, overclocking or office work modes. These adjustments are done via the 8W per channel controller.
Finally, the Hades chassis from NZXT has two USB ports, an Audio output and an E-SATA port on the front panel, and its PSU filter is removable in case cleaning is needed. It weighs 6.95 kilograms without the PSU and is built out of steel with black finish.
The product may be purchased through the company's official site for the price of $90.
