Today we have something very special in the office, the latest entry to the already well stocked flagship range of NZXT chassis. The H630 is set to take a place on the podium of desirable chassis and will be going along side products such as the Phantom 630, and the Switch 810, both of which rightly earned our eTeknix Editors Choice Award.
NZXT has long been one of my favourite chassis manufacturers, and I know I'm not alone on this one either, they have a loyal and enthusiast community around their brand and their products, you don't have to look far on forums and tech websites to see some incredibly powerful and customised gaming rigs, but you'll notice a large chunk of them will be fitted into an NZXT chassis.
The Phantom range is loud an in many ways obnoxious with it's flashy lighting, huge panels, big windows and robust cooling systems, it's also pretty expensive too with models such as the Phantom 820 still costing around £200, yikes! Yet it is focused on the extreme performance end of the market. Then we have the Switch range, which offers many of the features of the Phantom range, but in a more refined and sleeker design, yet its still quite loud in terms of design and it's main focus is performance and style, with a price tag of around £140 it's also quite expensive, especially compared to rival brands premium models. So where does the H620 fit in?
"Beautifully architected, the new H630 was engineered for one simple purpose: provide enthusiasts the ability to build the highest performing systems while remaining audibly invisible."
There are two words that often don't go together in the PC market, extreme performance and silence, it's hard to get the maximum level of performance from your hardware without something (relatively) noisy to keep it cool, be that a fan, a radiator or both, either way, cooling is very important.
"Ushering in a new era of silent, high performance systems, the NZXT H630 leads the industry with a high-density sound dampening design that doesn’t impede its cooling capabilities. Fully enclosed in steel and combined with an intelligent vent design to minimize intake noise, the H630 offers a sleek, jaw-dropping design that will leave you and your components speechless."
With a price tag of around £120, the promise of high end component compatibility, extreme cooling and all in a minimalist sound proofed chassis, NZXT could be about to embark on something very special indeed, so lets dive in and see just what it has to offer.
Die seit 2004 bestehende kalifornische Firma NZXT stellt Gehäuse, Netzteile sowie Eingabegeräte für den designbewussten Gamer her. Wir haben diesmal ein Gehäusemodell im Test, welches den Namen des Gottes der Unterwelt trägt. Dementsprechend böse und aggressiv soll das Erscheinungsbild des NZXT Hades sein. Ob dies gelungen ist und ob es sich trotzdem noch um eine praktisches Computergehäuse handelt , erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
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 styling, great airflow and nice cable management features as long as you don't use liquid cooling and/or a large heat sink as the case will not close.
After working with this chassis, I can safely say that there's nothing hellish about NZXT's Hades mid-tower ATX case. It's feature rich with a good cable management design and a drive cage design built for maximum configuration options. The cooling performance is excellent, yet easy on the ears and the built in fan controllers allow the user to custom tailor the performance to suit the installed hardware.
The NZXT Hades is a great mainstream case with room for any video card on up to ATI's 5970, plenty of massive high-CFM case fans, a nice simple look and high end features including three thermal sensors and screwless drive bays, all for $99.99. If you want airflow you'll love the 5 fans as it a 200mm intake fan, dual top 140mm fans, a side 200mm fan, and a rear 120mm exhaust fan!
NZXT has just released a new mid-tower case, Hades, featuring a three-channel digital thermometer and lots of fans. Let's see if this product is a good buy.
NZXT was established in 2004 with a headquarters in Los Angeles and from the outset have aimed to create products which put consumers first. From their Crafted Series the Hades uses a mid-tower form factor with focus on cooling, expandability and compatibility with the very latest hardware. NZXT are not beyond taking chances with regard to the design and function of their cases and in a crowded marketplace with some very good competition this could separate this product from the rest.
NZXT has been making quality computer cases since 2004. They have become a popular brand among computer enthusiests, and for good reason. NZXT cares about style and functionality. Here at Benchmark Reviews, we also care about style and functionality, and when NZXT agreed to let us review its new Hades (HADE-001BK) mid-tower Chassis, we happily agreed. The Hades boasts such features as up to nine 5.25" bays, or five 5.25" and four 3.5" bays. It touts room for up to 5 cooling fans and large video cards, and it also features a cable management system; all for around $100. Will the Hades live up to the NZXT reputation of quality? Stay tuned to find out!
Last week we took a look at the NZXT Tempest EVO, and today we have up for review the latest in their Crafted series, the Hades. Not since the Lexa Blackline have we seen an NZXT case with red lighting. Whether this switch from the all too common blue LEDs has any significance in the naming of this case or not, red is definitely becoming more and more popular with the various case manufacturers. The Hades is a nine bay, mid-tower design that like many in NZXT's Crafted series, has sculpted front and side panels. Black is the only color available and there is no side window, however there are several other features NZXT has incorporated into this case that are worth a closer look.
Last month NZXT launched a new case called the Hades and it’s one that is aimed at the PC enthusiast with several features that one might appreciate. Among those features you’ll find wire management built-in, temperature sensors, fan speed controls and even a rack for your SSD drives. The Hades looks nice but once I got started installing my system in it I ran into a few problems that detract from my overall view of this case. So read on to learn more about the NZXT Hades…
