Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Door fan can interfere with larger coolers, Hard drive racks a bit involved
  • Slightly cramped interior, Troublesome cable management grommets, Drive installation more involved than most cases
  • Motherboard tray isn't removable, Cold! With all of this air exhausting out of the case, your legs and feet will be cold if your system is sitting under your desk
  • Nontypical size for fan mounts, Topmounted I/O ports don't allow tucking the case into tight spaces, Hard Drives mounting orientation could be facing to the side, Cable management grommets easily come out of their holes
  • Cramped quarters; hard drive mounting system is difficult
  • Not completely toolless (Hard drives require 8 screws each), Front USB ports are a bit close to each other.More expert reviews of the NZXT Hades can be found at Testseek.com
  • Some CPU coolers may not clear side fan
  • No reset button, Tons of fans are noisy
  • NZXT forgot the put the specialty screws for mounting the HDD. Can’t just go buy them from your local hardware store, I would be willing to pay a couple extra bucks for a larger, incolor owner’s manual. The one with the unit uses very small
  • Unable to mount liquid cooling radiator with provided mounts
  • Can’t use large CPU coolers or even average sized ones, Not really room for larger video cards depending on configuration, Not really much room inside of case at all
