1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,000
so today I've got kind of a random unboxing to do this is the NZXT Hades

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:10,160
they basically like dropped this off at our office they were like here's a

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:16,400
sample do whatever you want with it so I figured I'll do what I do best I'll

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:20,039
unbox it so this computer case includes

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,000
dual 200 mm intake fans dual fan control

6
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:26,800
triple temperature display wire management and a black interior I love

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,720
black Interiors now I know nothing about this case I have done zero research so

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,320
I'm going to be disc covering everything about it as we go along so if I say

9
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:37,640
anything wrong please forgive me make a comment in the comments and say I don't

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,399
know what I'm talking about or something cuz the reality of it is I do not okay

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,760
so we have nine external 5 and a/4 inch Bays four internal 3 and 1 half inch

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:52,480
hard drive bays and five external 5 and a/ qu inch Bas hold on a minute which

13
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:52,480
one is it

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:00,960
okay okay I don't get it seven expansion slots we have cooling fan options thanks

15
00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:05,280
for that it is included one 2 200 mm fan

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,680
one 120 mm fan one 200 mm fan and

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,479
another 140 mm fan is included for the top Dimensions etc etc etc bunch of

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,680
different languages okay let's flip this around and the latest Hardware is

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,320
supported including room for 300 or 30

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:25,000
cm cards like the ATI 5970 okay oh I get it here we go here we

21
00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:32,399
go so you can either have 9 5 and 1/4 in Bays or 5 5 and 1/4 in bays and four 3

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,240
and 1/2 in internal base cool I get it

23
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:38,600
control the flow gaming overclocking our office work the Dual 8 watt per Channel

24
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:44,560
fan control allows control over the Dual 200 mm fans that spin up to 150 C CFM

25
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:48,680
each monitor your system etc etc etc wire routing pre-drilled water cooling

26
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:52,920
holes on the back plate front M that's also for office work by the way okay so

27
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:57,439
I mean this computer case is clearly not for office work now they did not drop it

28
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,880
off unopened and I haven't opened it since so it's still technically an

29
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:04,320
unboxing Bo in even though I'm not actually breaking any seals I know I'm

30
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:09,679
bending the rules but what are you going to do let's flip this baby open or flip

31
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:16,280
it open flip it over and get it opened up so this is the Hades so I think I'm

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:21,319
turning it right side up right now and then I'm going to go ahead and take the

33
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,319
styrofoams off oh that's a pretty small case actually so this is clearly a mid

34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,879
Tower it's not a full tower it's not a micro ACX Tower take the oh it's kind of

35
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:36,200
nice looking actually okay so one thing about NZXT cases that you will notice

36
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:39,840
right away is that they are not subtle they do not take sort of the the

37
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,440
conventional approach when it comes to the Aesthetics so you can see this is a

38
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:49,599
very sort of forward leaning design it's very bold it has a front door which is

39
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,200
okay you can look right through it so that is a mesh front door that's going

40
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:57,959
to give you the best possible air flow because that's what this case is clearly

41
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:02,280
all about is delivering great airf flow once again you can see here at the front

42
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:06,239
this is all mesh and I'm I'm not sure if there's some kind of a filtration system

43
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:11,400
there or not but we'll get to that later okay so here we have our 4 5 and 1/4 in

44
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Bay here are our two fan controls okay so you got a couple little knobbies

45
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,040
there that's kind of nice there's your power button okay and then I think that pretty

46
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,560
much covers that in terms of front panel connectors you've got your two audio

47
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:28,920
connectors so you got headphones and microphone you got two USB and one e

48
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,159
SATA here on the top we can see either 2

49
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:33,519
140 mm fans or 210 mm fans it's nice

50
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:37,760
that they give you the option for that I really appreciate that and then on this

51
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:42,480
side you can see clearly where the 200 mm fan is located we got thumb screws

52
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:47,080
included with the case which is great because I do not have a screwdriver on

53
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:52,439
me I was not ready to take a panel off if I didn't if it didn't have thumb

54
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,799
screws all right so let's just slide

55
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:58,519
that back it's pretty standard as far as that goes so again more mesh here at the

56
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,920
front so that's going to be useful for air intake I mean if you got lots of

57
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,959
graphics card power going on back here behind the panel it's going to be great

58
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,959
to have more air coming in this way this is designed to blow down right on top of

59
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,319
the graphics cards it uses a three pin fan header so you can plug that into

60
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:18,479
either their fan controller or a motherboard header even all right so

61
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:23,840
let's get that panel out of the way oh it fell over okay it's all good inside

62
00:04:20,919 --> 00:04:27,160
we will find a user manual which is black and white there's nothing

63
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:31,400
particularly exceptional about this but it does give you some of the basics and

64
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:37,840
in terms of the case it comes in a few different languages okay so it shows you

65
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,280
how to how to remove the side panel

66
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,440
shows you how to use some of the wire management features shows you how to

67
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,720
install drives okay inside here oh this is kind

68
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:53,039
of neat actually okay well let's take the other panel off so that we can have a better look and you can see this one

69
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:55,720
also has uh mesh at the front for more

70
00:04:53,039 --> 00:05:00,400
air intake which is great finish on the case is overall

71
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:03,759
pretty good I mean it's it's not uh it's not the kind of finish that you'd see on

72
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,800
something like a silver Stone but it's a reasonably adequate sort of powder

73
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,240
coating finish you can see there's a little bit of specklin to it so that

74
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:15,520
will make it a durable and B very fingerprint resistant which is something

75
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:19,960
that a lot of high-end cases actually Overlook and it drives me crazy okay so

76
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:26,080
here we've got the fan the power connectors for our top 140 mm fan which

77
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:30,000
is included as well as our rear 120 mm fan and they've given you holes for 92

78
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:35,199
as well which is pretty nice okay and you can see these are connected

79
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:39,039
by three pin but you can also plug them

80
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:41,720
into this uh for MOX power all right

81
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:47,280
here they've actually gone ahead and they've taken the front panel connectors

82
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,520
which is your eata your um your power

83
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:53,120
your USB all that stuff and they've gone and they've routed it through the cable

84
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,280
management holes for you and put it where it actually needs to go so in

85
00:05:55,319 --> 00:06:00,479
addition to those other things that you or to the standard stuff that you have

86
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,960
here you have a coule what appears to be a

87
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,720
temperature sensor for your hard drive you've got a temperature sensor for your

88
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,720
CPU and then one other just random one for CIS okay you've got a couple more

89
00:06:11,479 --> 00:06:20,080
power oh yeah these are the power connectors for those fans you got your front audio you've got your front USB

90
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,599
you got your front isata okay here you

91
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,800
will find all of the accessories that you will need to mount a system in the

92
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,240
Hades case all right so let's see what they've gone and included with this I

93
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:36,880
don't have my knife great that's okay I'll just break

94
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,240
it okay I can't even break tape that's

95
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,319
pretty sad okay oh wow lots of Hardware

96
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,680
here okay so these are Drive Bay adapters thank you for that it includes

97
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,000
three of those excellent and I believe they've got one mounted already so

98
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:54,360
they've shown you how to do it just like that you've got a whole bunch of thumb

99
00:06:52,039 --> 00:06:58,440
screws for mounting those things there you go there's a bucket of thumb screws

100
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:01,800
as well as some hard drive screws okay and then you've got all of your standard

101
00:07:00,039 --> 00:07:04,800
mounting hardware so these black ones right here for mounting your Optical

102
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,680
drives these silver ones are for mounting your motherboard they've got

103
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,759
motherboard standoffs which are the little brass kind okay so that's all

104
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:17,120
pretty standard and oh I love this they've included a 3 and 1/2 to 2 and

105
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:22,599
1/2 in hard drive adapter so if you have an SSD drive or two maybe yeah it looks

106
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,599
like it might hold two you can actually mount it in this case by default and

107
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:29,879
I've got terrible light here I'm really sorry for that maybe if you move forward

108
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:33,039
a little bit we'll be a to see this better oh they've included a bunch of

109
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:38,000
zip ties too for cable management that's nice okay and then I oh yeah here at the

110
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,520
front so here at the front that's why there's all that mesh there can you see

111
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:46,479
through that way to the front fan oh you can oh that's great okay so there's the

112
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,440
200 mm fan that's included in the front that's blowing all through the case and

113
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,879
can come way out the back to all the included mesh PCI brackets it has a

114
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:58,159
bottom mounted power supply here are your water cooling holes it looks like

115
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:01,680
you can probably use 38 in tubing but I wouldn't expect to get half in tubing

116
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:05,400
through those holes overall build quality of the case feels reasonably

117
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:08,759
good I mean with value gaming cases a lot of the time you see them cheap out

118
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:13,159
on the steel or they'll they'll cheap out on like a support brace here or

119
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:18,039
something else there I mean really the standout features of this case are as

120
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:22,599
follows black interior you've got the CPU cutout for replacing CPU coolers

121
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,759
with a back plate easily and quickly you've got these wire management

122
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:31,680
features I love these things Corsair kind of did it first with their obsidian

123
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,959
800d but I I love seeing sort of more

124
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:38,159
value oriented cases coming out that have this feature because it makes your

125
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:42,599
wire management look so much tidier with zero effort you've got toolless mounting

126
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:46,320
for your 5 and 1/4 in Bays okay you just take those out and then you pop them

127
00:08:43,959 --> 00:08:54,920
back in wherever you want the drive to go and that concludes my unboxing of the

128
00:08:50,959 --> 00:08:54,920
NZXT Hades

129
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,680
case
