NZXT Hades Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Computer Case Review

[AntaresYou]

In this case is it able to fit two 6870 msi oc edition?

[koda101ninja]

@AntaresYou well, it can fit 12" cards, so ya, the 6870 is only 10"

[bensinspade]

what would you recommend = Nzxt Hades or Fractal design R3?

[dyrdek2011]

i have this case but im getting a new case to make new pc and gunna sell my NZXT Hades case on ebay when av time

[88deathmetal]

Thank you for not mentioning anything about what sizes graphic card it fits!

[ympkilla]

as always design is good with NZXT

[Panda4Cash]

Would this case fit cooler master hyper 212 CPU cooler?

[counterafk]

what games does it handle? Black ops on highest settings and im happy xD

[88deathmetal]

@counterafk

It doesn't :P

It's up to parts you put inside it.

[callanoud]

Which case is better, the Hades or Tempest Evo? 

[88deathmetal]

@callanoud

Tempest Evo, but it also costs more.

[Navertun]

Will I be able to fit 2 GTX 460 in this case ?



[darkrevan16]

Will i be able to fit 2 GTX 560 Ti cars in this case?

[Fissz01]

@THE3ducator but i have 5 fans :(

[Fissz01]

so will i need a fan controller ??

[dumbanddanish]

anyone know the names of the cooling fans in it? the ones with the red led's?

[humakabula1]

@dumbanddanish

Model: DF2003012SEMIN

[humakabula1]

the power button is at the tip of the door

the silver button is reset

[KayaButterBread7]

@humakabula1 Will a Asus GTX560TI DC-II Top 1024M fit in this case?

[TheRammsteizer]

where do you put the temperature thing if you want to measure the CPU? Do you put it in the thermal paste or what?

[chicawazzzzzzza]

lol the reset button was top left of the power XD

[nightmare355]

I got this case and it's awesome! Just one little thing though, the official NZXT PSU doesn't fit correctly in the case because of a design error. :/

[brandonhughes7]

will it fit a nivida HD galixy graphics card.

[bloba313]

does it come ready to go?

I'm new to pc gaming so I don't know a lot about it.

[bleak85]

Hi, is it possible to turn/mount the side fan so it takes the air out or the case?

[xXHitechProductionXx]

love ur videos man!!

[Kennett17]

It has a reset button. Its just on the front of the tower just below the lights on the front door.

[CommyBravo]

thanks for the review, i learned what i needed to learn and this case is now competing with the element-g for my next purchase. [:

[TheVacantSins]

Can I use AM3 motherboard with this?

[adelwwe74]

@TheVacantSins yes

[kras85]

there is power button on the front center door

[scottjohnsonltd]

Hey PCWizKid, I'm looking to get this case with the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula (motherboard), I'm not 100% sure if it will fit in this case with 2X 5870's (Crossfire) on the board as well.

Thanks for the videos!!

[cjpalmi8]

how many hard drive mounts does it come with??

[cpuking2009]

the reset button is on the inside of the door at the top.

[hgfhdryrtd]

does include a power supply

[TheWoWRevelation]

I have an anti-static wrist band and mat, but this case is painted entirely. Is that a problem?

[crashG37]

THe silver button that you showed was the RESET button. The power button is on the plastic front cover right at the tip of the "V" in the middle.

[futurama516]

@crashG37 I have this case and when ever people review the case they all make the same mistake lol, guessing you might have the case then to know that.

[squanto273443]

Buyers BEWARE: that 200mm fan is really really nice but if you have a cooler master v6 or a water cooler h50 from corsair then you cant use it I HAD TO PLACE THE 200 MM FAN OUTSIDE OF THE CASE SO I CAN USE IT

[YoungMoney835]

it says this case is currently unavailable...

[q44ghj6]

Which is better this or the phantom?

[orestesdd]

How many video card one can comfortably fit into this case without interfering with HDDs installed?

[ehab007bob]

what is best tempest evo or hades ?

[mixed123456]

wizkid. i would like to buy this case but. if i put a cpu cooler like noctua nh d14. the side panel will close ?

[warischoy]

can it it a cooler master v10?

[teddy405139]

which case is better? The Cooler Master Storm Scout or the NZXT Hades?

[EpicPoseidonBeard]

good review

[Schnikerdoodle]

Looks like Darth Vader on the front.

[MrValtsu]

PCwizkid! will this work great with coolermaster tx3 processor cooler? i gonna get this and the cooler as well on my 2,9ghz quad core processor,thanks

[LynksysV]

great review only thing you didnt mention was the the clearance for a cpu heatsink, can it fit a hyper n520 or a hyper 212? i ask cause that side fan looks pretty big

[abrakis1]

Two questions:

Is it able to fit two 5970's in a quadfire configuration without having to adjust the case?

Is there enough clearance for hard drives and 5970's or might I have to move the hard drive to a different bay?

Thank you.

[PCWizKid]

@abrakis1 , Answer is No. You need a wider, full tower case for that instead.

[HackCausality]

@PCWizKid Could you fit them in a Cooler Master Sniper case?

[radiothax]

Don't know if this has been posted before, but that silver button is the reset button, the power button is on the door

[gards2]

@radiothax spent 7 hours today trying to turn the damn thing on using the silver button behind the door, rechecked everything (wiring) and in the end had to "short" the motherboard to power up the PC. Now you're saying it's the reset switch? thats BS mate. what mystery button on the door are you refering too?

[radiothax]

@gards2 the power button is on the door, right at the apex or top of the triangle as it were, i have this case and can assure you there is a button there, run your finger up the inside of the door till you get to the top and there is the button. you can see it at 0:42 in the video

[xerocool101]

heyo, will a CoolIT Eco mount correctly to the top/side of that case?

[NFSPlayer1311]

Wo kommen denn da die laufwerke raus, wenn man eine CD reinschmeissen will?

Immer die Tür öffnen?

[Lerppu86]

@Voraciousz No they're not all LED fans. Only front 200mm fan comes with red LED.

[Lerppu86]

Thank you for your excellent presentation. I chose this case for myself, when I watched this video. Great job man. And sorry about the CPU temperature to a misunderstanding :)

[KMelter]

This better than CoolerMaster 690?

[Vandius24]

DAMN NO WINDOW : (

[MacTechGerman]

@Vandius24 mod it

[poutanogamiasL]

Can u fit a Thermalright True Black Cpu cooler in there?

[Em0killer13]

will a thermalright Venomous X (about the same size as coolermaster V8) fit in this?

[yuri5677]

menacing looks

[IIRockstarrxX]

Can i fit a really big graphics card in it like a Nvidia GeForce GTX285 2GB

[DarkMangaman]

i'll buy it this summer

[punnyabrata]

In most likelyhood this is where my main rig will move into. Awesome Mid Tower case. I think HAF922 will have to make way for this one.

[17asce]

cool how much is this computer casing :D

[runescape0wnz22]

Thank God! It supports Micro-ATX.

[swedilibor]

Is the side fan position that it blows on the grafic card and motherboard chipset?

[TechLogin]

@swedilibor Yes, right to the graphic card, and also cools motherboard too.

[yuri5677]

@TechLogin does it support sli of 260 or 295

[TechLogin]

@yuri5677 It supports like all video cards, even HD 5970 thats a 310mm long.

[Alfred120]

hey PCWizKid do think i change the Side 200mm fan with a 200mm LED Case Fan?

[PCWizKid]

@Alfred120 yes you can.

[94thts]

Can the temperature display show temperatures in both Fahrenheit and Celsius?

[PCWizKid]

@94thts yes it can

[freiermuthj]

i think i am going to use this case for my first computer build. ideas/tips (pm me) i need them really!

[chaosquall1]

please tell me if i would be able to fit a ocz vendeta 2 cooler in their becuase the cooler is massive i had to remove my side intake fan to place it in my current system.

[chaosquall1]

@chaosquall1 •Heatsink Dimensions:(W)120 x (H)50 x (D)159mm

•Fan Dimensions: (L)120 x (W) 120 x (H)25mm

[htuljin]

Awesome CASE!

I will definitely go with this one for my next build. Overall look is great, Temp. display is also awesome. I like airflow potential & cable management options, too.

Review is very informative. Great job! Keep it UP!

[stylistar]

i'll defintely get this case for my next build

but guess wouldnt be any time soon

[mymom1234]

some questions...

does a Prolimatech Megahalems fit?

how do you remove the dustfilters?

where can i get an identical fan for the top?

[moonshiry]

hey guys will the xigmatek s1283 have problems fitting it in this casing?

[imnotfrommilkyway]

I'm gonna buy this case or the advanced CM690. My first choice was antec 902 but it's so popular with first time builders that my pc will be a generic firt builder PC. I mine to be unique.

[AdamDaMan2008]

Just so you know there is a power and reset buttin watch the video responce to see where it's hidden. ;P

~Adam~

[AdamDaMan2008]

@AdamDaMan2008 wtf i cant post my vid as a responce... retarded website..

[moonshiry]

i dont see how taking out the dust filter from the front fan is easy in any way.

[DecibelMasher]

Excellent review! It was very thorough and answered all of my questions. I needed a little reassurance before ordering this case and thanks to your review I'm going to buy it. Much appreciated!

[moonshiry]

does the side intake fan have a dust filter?

[xXxReptilectricxXx]

Its a cool case, but i have never like the case doors, thts why i bought the Tempest.

[Bozzar11]

good job :) I like this case, too and I think I will buy it soon

thx

[busybjorn]

It's a nice case but -in my opinion- there are too many fans.

[imnotfrommilkyway]

That's the point of modern chassis. It's considered lower quality if it has less than 5 fans in it.

[438426x1]

@busybjorn you can take out the fans if u want, and as long as they're quiet, the more fans the better... (unless they interrupt ur airflow path)

[Eragon86micky]

nice case

[julianbell90]

do you do voice overs after your done shooting, or as you are shooting you are talking

[PCWizKid]

@julianbell90 I do both types

[salva52]

@PCWizKid

How long between cpu and side fan ?

Because the cpu cooler 150 or 160 mm go inside ?

Thank you

[antivirushelp]

That looks Like a Server

[nuthouseproductz]

wow super cooling there.

[Ardonn]

Game over "mr" I love your vids wizkid. You explain well, remember whats worth mentioning, easy to hear that your well prepared. Since this is your job then your also lucky that you have a very nice voice to listen to which makes your reviews a joy. I'll be waiting for your reviews on the new amd cpu's when released if your gonna do some of those :) keep the good work up

[zver711]

I'm getting more and more impressed with NZXT. Quality is most definitely going up.

[Mr937595]

has he ever had a product that was not recommended at the end? seriously?

[PCWizKid]

@Mr937595 Why would I waste your time with crap? I will only do reviews of what I believe is worth while mentioning and that people would want for all budgets. You will never see me review something I would not recommend.

[Mr937595]

@PCWizKid Well state the obvious. I guess I am simply suggesting you develop a rating system of some sort. You wouldn't give a GTS250 the same rating as a GTX295? would you?? my point.

[PCWizKid]

@Mr937595 there is no need for a rating system on a video card. Look at the results it provides in the benchmarks. You be the judge if that suits your needs or not. To some people 30 fps is a 10/10, for others its a 6/10, so I will NOT give a rating, just inform you of what it can do and Recommend it based on what it delivers for the price.

[aloysius444]

@PCWizKid: i also realised that u recommend everything u review but i never that its because u dun review stuff u don't like.

[jameshodgetts1997]

@aloysius444 He probably gets payed to make good comments about products.

[magichristo]

@jameshodgetts1997 No, he gets payed to review the products. Notice he doesn't say that something low end is very good. He says all that we need and want to know, and he never lies.

For the low end products, he explains exactly what theyre made for and who theyre made for.

[cjgan80]

At first i tot it was a Alienware type casing , but then...

WOA!

[Cobija13]

I suggest in your future videos to play the fan noise on all the speeds so we may get an idea of what they sound like..it may help, but just a suggestion.

[dino88cro]

Can you please help me with my problem wizkid im waiting for your response for a week now and more

[jjamendoza]

Amazing case for $100.

[Twinturbo120]

I would buy this case If I had the money =/

[animatahr]

how much is it?

[wynston05613]

very nice, if the side had a winow i would buy it :3

[legendray2008]

"air circulation"

[legendray2008]

With that fan controller I dont see the point of 5 X 5.25 drive bays..

Very nice case .. excellent air ventilation .. quiet .. tool- less .. all black ..

[maples78]

is the door held with magnets ?

[PCWizKid]

@maples78, yes the door is held by magnets

[hahaha10001]

Have you ever consdered of making a volt-mod video for mid-end cards(ie. 4850)

[xxsilveryoshixx]

not a bad mid tower,

but i perfer full towers more xD

[xmurder95x]

this case looks like it want to kill someone :D

[mzr00001]

very nice for a mid tower

[SirDamned]

Weird how next to the power button, is the commonly seen symbol for a CD Drive for "Eject"

[aschris87]

i f**king love this case it has all you need to put a rig together and do some real nasty overclocking 2 its just awesomeness all in one box...

[isegoria1]

Grossly overpriced even at $99

[Eragon86micky]

Nice, Case!

[Norby19O7]

No reset button o.O

[videosurfer69]

Nice. But the case I'm really excited for is the Cooler Master HAF-X. Will come later this year. 230mm fan in front, 200mm on the side, 2 x 140mm on the top and 120mm rear fan. Black interior, window. Plenty of 5.25" bays. And 9 expansion slots for triple GPU-setups! Hope that PcWizKid reviews that when it comes out.

[z1pfL]

NZXT really changed past 2, 3 yr's

they've improved in build quality and they also got really nice lookin cases and new designs (if think about their old cases o.0)

[gorgi991]

nice case

[fmartinez21]

did not know NZXT was trying to compete with ALIENWARE case design.

I personally don't like it.

Lian-li or Silverstone for cases.

[kidowner]

@fmartinez21 what about antec and coolermaster? :P

[fmartinez21]

Yeah, you are right!

I had both of them previously

[hypercam258]

all their cases are too umm... commercial?

[elneuromante]

@fmartinez21 Lian-li and dragonlord for sure.

 It looks nice viewed side way though.

[ricochetrabbit86]

Lian-Li and Silverstone are the best at making cases.

[AgentHydra]

o sweet, I;ve been wanting to know more about this case... my next case must have black interior and good cable mngmnt

[Cairnsiee]

@AgentHydra Cooler master Cm sniper BE :)

[anzonix]

I hate how I can't afford to have this hobby, maybe if I got a summer job I could build my own PC.

[hogga1994]

PCWizKid can you do more grafic cards review? :]

[PCWizKid]

@hogga1994, yes always, coming soon

[hogga1994]

COOLER MASTER HAF 922 FTW!!!!!!

[PCWizKid]

@hogga1994, yes, another good case I reviewed a while back.

[KuruGDI]

The case as such is nice but I really don't want to have swing-open doors on my case. I just hate them...

[HemeHaci]

Does the side panel intake fan have a dust filter?

[PCWizKid]

@HemeHaci, yes it does, same as the front.

[FLORENAS]

Thank you

[coijoi]

cool case"

[KC919191]

a 5970 can fit in a mid tower case? o.o

[PCWizKid]

@KC919191 , many new Mid tower cases coming out in 2010 will support the large video cards now.

[Fowtowsjop]

that case is tight and legit!! :D

[lindsaymobil22]

nice case

pcwizkid i like the intro music u used in this video & last years videos! where would i get this music?

[shehanster]

@lindsaymobil22 check one of hez Q and A videos he has mentioned about the site he gets them

[r3mus13a]

nice ! looks superb

[PivotAX]

Nice looks awesome! :D

BTW i got you 23 new subscribers :D YAY

[PCWizKid]

@PivotAX, hey thanks for the subs, how did you manage that?

[PivotAX]

[Uchahi]
