NZXT Debuts Hades Gaming PC Chassis
NZXT, a company built on realizing the dreams of gamers worldwide, is proud to unveil Hades, a chassis that provides an array of advanced features for the most demanding PC enthusiast. Airflow is optimized with 5 fans(dual 200mm intake, 200 mm front fan, dual top 140mm fans, side 200mm fan, and rear 120mm exhaust). NZXT includes all the fans with the exception of the top 140mm and also provides a dual fan 8W per channel controller giving enthusiasts freedom to manage intake and exhaust airflow. A three temperature display on the front panel allows the user to see the temperature inside the chassis even when the door is closed. Additionally, the meshed 5.25" bays, door, and bottom panel allows for air to naturally flow into the system with ease.
Hades also boasts premium expandability with up to nine 5.25" bay setup or five 5.25" and four 3.5." It also features VGA clearance room for 300mm cards like the new ATI 5970. The punched side panel and motherboard tray with rubber grommets on the motherboard routing holes enables advanced wire management and quick CPU bracket removal. Additional advanced features include a solid state bracket allowing for two SSD drives, pre-drilled water cooling holes on the backplate, mounting holes for a dual radiator at the top, and a removable filter at the bottom PSU."Enthusiasts and gamers have a lot to be excited about with the advanced airflow and control options that Hades brings to the table" said Johnny Hou, Chief Designer at NZXT. "With an array of options for limitless upgradeability, Hades has the performance and longevity that gamers desire."

Also would of liked to see a window on the side panel for this case. And it looks a tad on the small side, I could see this becoming quite cramped inside with your typical tpu build :p Edit: after reading it again, maybe it just looks on the small side?
Down sides to these side fans is they usually do not come with dust filters and then your options for a side window are limited.
I've never really liked NZXT cases, and this one doesn't do anything to change that, but the price is a step in the right direction.
NZXT has been releasing quite weird case designs lately... This case is more straight forward and I have to say, it looks pretty good.
A couple of things bug me though. The grommit cable management doesn't look that great, it seems like Corsair is the only company that pulled it off. And I didn't notice a hole for the 8-pin CPU power cable?
the Actual metal bit only costs 25 from ebuyer english chaps!
*edit* no looks like they've changed the drive bays.
