Enermax Hoplite ST Mid-Tower PC Chassis Review

Build time on the Hoplite ST took around 20mins, cable management could be a lot better but as I suspected, those slim cut-outs didn’t take long to become crouded and I see no reason why Enermax couldn’t have made the wider.

The Antec Kuhler fitted without too much trouble, the pipes were a little strained and the side panel was touching the radiator, but this is a very big cooling block with a pair of 120mm fans installed on it.

The SATA dock and fan controller cables felt poorly placed too, having to be routed through the top cable management cut-out. Two of the fan connections are really close to the top of the cable also, meaning they couldn’t be tucked away.

Even with these minor issues the system does look great now that we have the side panel back in place and we get a great view of our GTX 560 Ti through the clear side panel window.

Around the back everything else looks neat and tidy and those large ventilation slots in the expansion slot cover will really help with airflow for your graphics card.
