If you are in the market for a new mid tower case, the Enermax Hoplite seems like a decent case. Head on over to Legit Reviews for the full review.

The Hoplite ECA3220 can accommodate video cards up to 315mm (13.77”) long. It can also support CPU coolers up to 178mm tall without side panel fans, 160mm with side panel fans. So that means just about any CPU cooler on the market will fit in the Hoplite series and can still use the side panel fans.

Nice...thanks for the heads up.


For what it's worth, impressions of the review by someone who likes simple lines and curves.


Things I like:

  • LED off switch!
  • Fan control knobs are hardly visible
  • Easy fan access for cleaning
  • HD dock is subtle
  • Slide out PSU filter
  • Tool-less drive installation...with a slide-out hot swap bay!
  • Decent room in main portion of case


Things I don't like:

  • Way too aggressive looking...HAF-like
  • Unattractive logo badge...which is way too prominent
  • Limited space behind MB for cable routing
  • Only two top-mounted USB jacks...and they are (currently) USB 2.0
  • Drive cage looks like it will significantly restrict front intake air flow
  • Non-replaceable expansion slot covers
  • Would prefer they would focus effort/resources on better airflow and cabling rather than disco lights


Don't like outweighs like for me.
 
What is with the market being flooded with these doomsday, hacky modular, DOOM knock-off looking cases these days? I know it really is personal preference and they are obviously selling, but this and the HAFs and the LANboys are just so odd looking to me. I wouldn't want this in my office. But I could see it fitting in with someone who have a sci-fi/gaming decor. But I haven't fit in the demographic for years. :)
 
Oooh, neato. That FD Arc Midi is slick looking. I'm assuming you also like a lot of Lian Li cases? :)
 
With my experience of owning mesh side panels, it's going to get dusty, prepare to buy lots of filters.

HD looks promising.
 
I thought I was the only one that didn't want plexi-windows, neon, glow in the dark whiz bang cases. I am an adult that wants a sleek sexy, silent PC. My son... well he can keep his blue LED fans :)
