The Hoplite is a very solid chassis from Enermax - which may be surprising for some. While the exterior is cause for some concern in terms of construction quality the case scores big with the cool looks and well engineered interior design. The hot-swap bays along with the extremely well made tool-less systems for both ODDs and HDDs make the chassis a joy to work with. That said, the chassis still has a few minor shortcomings, which are by no means a dealbreaker, but do warrant mentioning. Enermax should remove the breakout mainboard expansion bay covers and replace them with separate ones along with thumb screws. Another area of concern is the limited space for cable management, but as you can see, you should be able to hide them well enough nonetheless. The biggest gripe I have is with the poor implementation of the top HDD dock. This feature seems rushed and users may feel cheated as it can not really cannot be called a dock. If Enermax manages to fix all these small issues and improve the quality of the plastic in their future cases, they may well have a winner on their hands.
