EVGA Hadron Hydro Mini-ITX Steel Black Chassis with 500W 80Plus Gold Power Supply

excellent product, excellent comunication, exellent amazon, I like amazon

As an avid and frequent PC builder, I will declare this: This case was one of the hardest cases in which I had to route my cables in. There is barely any room to fit any of my gigantic fingers in and this case tried my patience to the limit. However, I loved every single moment building inside that case, knowing that the outcome will be beautiful. I haven't actually added water cooling yet, but hopefully I will and update this post.System Specs:i7 4790k16gb Cosair Dominator Platinum 1600mhzMSI Z97i Mitxr9 290xSamsung 840 proI finished my build within 2 hours, but your mileage may vary.After I finished my build and booted successfully, I noticed something straight away.IMPORTANT!!!THE CASE FANS ARE NOT PWM AND THEY RUN AT AN OBNOXIOUS 1800 RPM WITH A SOUND RESEMBLING A LARGE HAIRDRYER AT LOW SETTINGI would recommend getting an aftermarket fan, as I have gotten the NZXT FN V2 fans and they have been serving me wellThe airflow is not bad, but make sure the fans are set to exhaust as you want the heat to escape, not be trapped and be mixed into your precious little componentsIMPORTANT 2!!!!The power supply was completely adequate for my i7 4790k + r9 290x build, but I dare not overclock until I can switch to a different power supply. Yes, the power supply can be exchanged for a different one, the form factor is 1U server power supply.Overall, I'm very pleased with this case and would recommend to another person. EVGA has done an amazing job at their first attempt at making a case. Will update if there is any problems...

PROS:-Included 500W GOLD PSU-Nice exterior design.-Impressive build quality.CONS:-With this case it seems EVGA has decided to battle against the OCD of the world. EVERYTHING in this case makes it impossible to have a clean and cohesive interior unless you are a pro modder.-No cable management whatsoever.-Ugly PSU cables.-I would have rather seen an SFX PSU than a 1U. There are more High-end Modular SFX form factor PSUs on the market.-PSU blocks what could be another place for fans or another radiator.-Drive bay is the absolute worst. Takes up tons of space, makes everything cramped. Hard drive connectors point upward to further battle any clean look. Could have easily made this bay removable for numerous reasons.. not a single positive reason to rivet it on with something like 14 RIVETS!-ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO FIT A CLOSED LOOP or AIO liquid cooler in this case without modification.-I would trade the disk bay in for more drive bays.-BRIGHT BLUE USB 3.0 RIBBON (WHY?!) cable that drags all the way across the top of the VGA and plugs into their own proprietary Z97 STINGER MOBO's USB 3.0 plug opposite (horizontal) of the natural lay of the (vertical) flat ribbon cable.-1980's grey HDaudio cable also takes this route and drags all the way across the VGA... just for good measure.. Ensuring that nothing in the case could match or look orderly.-Wasting of Space is made easy by the Proprietary fitting only for evga liquid reservoir/pump area toward the back of the case. Nothing else can be done with this area without modification. Utter waste unless you plan to buy everything EVGA.. which is their obvious intent here.

I bought this thing for really cheap on a warehouse deal. Fans where wrong and it was scratched but PSU worked and honestly that one part costs more than what I paid so I kept it. But this case is just too old. Not enough modern features and it needs an update. Love how small it is but I’ll be buying something a bit more modern. Maybe I’ll turn this into an aquarium or something.
