WEBVTT 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 00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:10.160 they basically like dropped this off at our office they were like here's a 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 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:20.039 unbox it so this computer case includes 00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:22.000 dual 200 mm intake fans dual fan control 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:26.800 triple temperature display wire management and a black interior I love 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.720 black Interiors now I know nothing about this case I have done zero research so 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 00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:37.640 anything wrong please forgive me make a comment in the comments and say I don't 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 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 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 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.480 one is it 00:00:52.840 --> 00:01:00.960 okay okay I don't get it seven expansion slots we have cooling fan options thanks 00:00:57.559 --> 00:01:05.280 for that it is included one 2 200 mm fan 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.680 one 120 mm fan one 200 mm fan and 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:11.479 another 140 mm fan is included for the top Dimensions etc etc etc bunch of 00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.680 different languages okay let's flip this around and the latest Hardware is 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:19.320 supported including room for 300 or 30 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:25.000 cm cards like the ATI 5970 okay oh I get it here we go here we 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 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.240 and 1/2 in internal base cool I get it 00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:38.600 control the flow gaming overclocking our office work the Dual 8 watt per Channel 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 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:48.680 each monitor your system etc etc etc wire routing pre-drilled water cooling 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 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 00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.880 off unopened and I haven't opened it since so it's still technically an 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.320 unboxing Bo in even though I'm not actually breaking any seals I know I'm 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 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 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 00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:25.319 styrofoams off oh that's a pretty small case actually so this is clearly a mid 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 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:36.200 nice looking actually okay so one thing about NZXT cases that you will notice 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:39.840 right away is that they are not subtle they do not take sort of the the 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:44.440 conventional approach when it comes to the Aesthetics so you can see this is a 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 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 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:57.959 to give you the best possible air flow because that's what this case is clearly 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:02.280 all about is delivering great airf flow once again you can see here at the front 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 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 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:14.000 Bay here are our two fan controls okay so you got a couple little knobbies 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 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.560 much covers that in terms of front panel connectors you've got your two audio 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:28.920 connectors so you got headphones and microphone you got two USB and one e 00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:32.159 SATA here on the top we can see either 2 00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:33.519 140 mm fans or 210 mm fans it's nice 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.760 that they give you the option for that I really appreciate that and then on this 00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:42.480 side you can see clearly where the 200 mm fan is located we got thumb screws 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:47.080 included with the case which is great because I do not have a screwdriver on 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 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:54.799 screws all right so let's just slide 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 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 00:04:00.040 --> 00:04:04.959 graphics card power going on back here behind the panel it's going to be great 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 00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:12.319 the graphics cards it uses a three pin fan header so you can plug that into 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:18.479 either their fan controller or a motherboard header even all right so 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 00:04:20.919 --> 00:04:27.160 we will find a user manual which is black and white there's nothing 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:31.400 particularly exceptional about this but it does give you some of the basics and 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 00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:39.280 how to how to remove the side panel 00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:42.440 shows you how to use some of the wire management features shows you how to 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.720 install drives okay inside here oh this is kind 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 00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:55.720 also has uh mesh at the front for more 00:04:53.039 --> 00:05:00.400 air intake which is great finish on the case is overall 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 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:06.800 something like a silver Stone but it's a reasonably adequate sort of powder 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:11.240 coating finish you can see there's a little bit of specklin to it so that 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:15.520 will make it a durable and B very fingerprint resistant which is something 00:05:13.320 --> 00:05:19.960 that a lot of high-end cases actually Overlook and it drives me crazy okay so 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:26.080 here we've got the fan the power connectors for our top 140 mm fan which 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 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:35.199 as well which is pretty nice okay and you can see these are connected 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:39.039 by three pin but you can also plug them 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.720 into this uh for MOX power all right 00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:47.280 here they've actually gone ahead and they've taken the front panel connectors 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:49.520 which is your eata your um your power 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 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.280 management holes for you and put it where it actually needs to go so in 00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.479 addition to those other things that you or to the standard stuff that you have 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:04.960 here you have a coule what appears to be a 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.720 temperature sensor for your hard drive you've got a temperature sensor for your 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 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 00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:22.599 you got your front isata okay here you 00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:26.800 will find all of the accessories that you will need to mount a system in the 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 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:36.880 don't have my knife great that's okay I'll just break 00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:40.240 it okay I can't even break tape that's 00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:42.319 pretty sad okay oh wow lots of Hardware 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:46.680 here okay so these are Drive Bay adapters thank you for that it includes 00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:50.000 three of those excellent and I believe they've got one mounted already so 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 00:06:52.039 --> 00:06:58.440 screws for mounting those things there you go there's a bucket of thumb screws 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 00:07:00.039 --> 00:07:04.800 mounting hardware so these black ones right here for mounting your Optical 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:07.680 drives these silver ones are for mounting your motherboard they've got 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.759 motherboard standoffs which are the little brass kind okay so that's all 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 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 00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:26.599 like it might hold two you can actually mount it in this case by default and 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.879 can come way out the back to all the included mesh PCI brackets it has a 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:58.159 bottom mounted power supply here are your water cooling holes it looks like 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 00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:05.400 through those holes overall build quality of the case feels reasonably 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 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 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:18.039 something else there I mean really the standout features of this case are as 00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:22.599 follows black interior you've got the CPU cutout for replacing CPU coolers 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.759 with a back plate easily and quickly you've got these wire management 00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:31.680 features I love these things Corsair kind of did it first with their obsidian 00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:33.959 800d but I I love seeing sort of more 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:38.159 value oriented cases coming out that have this feature because it makes your 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:42.599 wire management look so much tidier with zero effort you've got toolless mounting 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 00:08:43.959 --> 00:08:54.920 back in wherever you want the drive to go and that concludes my unboxing of the 00:08:50.959 --> 00:08:54.920 NZXT Hades 00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:58.680 case
