NZXT Hades Case Review

Submitted by Matt Page on Thu, 08/26/2010 - 07:16

Here we have an excellent opportunity to be somewhat narcissistic. Heck, with a review product titled Hades and the site name of BURNED iN, it will be hard not to do a little self promoting, like mentioning just how hot it is around here. But this summer LeBron James set such a new low in self-love that we are all still sick to our stomachs. So, we promise not to refer to ourselves in third person or do some self-promoting under the guise of helping a non-profit organization. We'll stick with what we do best, giving everyone a no-nonsense review of the NZXT Hades case. Of course we won't shy away from the occasional wacky comments, because that's embedded in us. All we need to know is whether the Hades enclosure is hot or not. Let's find out, shall we?

The bundle comes with plenty of little goodies expected by most enthusiasts. Not pictured is a preinstalled 2.5" bracket for those wishing to install an SSD. NZXT also tossed in 6 brackets for installing up to three 3.5" HDDs. You'll see all that a bit later when we get to the interior, but first let's peruse the outside of this case.
