We don't even know, but it is a budget offering from NZXT - will it be the base of your next build?
Computer cases don't typically receive the best treatment in the naming department, often named after random and obscure things that have no connection with form or function... can you tell where we're headed?
The NZXT Hades is one of these cases, and the tenuous link between ancient mythological Greek hell is quite a far cry - insofar as we can tell the only thing even close to hellish is the red glow from the intake fan.
Instead, the Hades appears to be a relatively affordable midrange computer case whose angular form is certainly eye-catching, though whether it's appealing is a very subjective call.
It appears well cooled and also integrates a fan controller with temperature measurement via diodes for monitoring specifically hot areas of the system, though tall heatsinks such as the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme appear to have clearance problems as explained on NZXT's page:
CPU Heatsink clearance: 131.5mm w/ 200mm fan, 165mm w/o side fan installed.
We'll subject the Hades to a full review in the next Issue of Atomic, but for now sate yourself by jumping into the gallery of pictures.
