To sum up, the Enermax Hoplite has many decent qualities that are likely to win over consumers such as the snazzy Apollish fan in the front and tool-less hard drive bays. Build quality is very impressive. We would love to see this case in aluminum, but we can appreciate Enermax are acheiving a lower price point, making the Hoplite affordable to a wider spectrum of consumers.
When it comes to performance, the Hoplite is essentially what we would expect from a case like this. Despite being very loud when the fans are cranked up to their maximum, they remain relatively inaudible at lower speeds whilst retaining an decent level of airflow. The temperatures are perfectly acceptable, especially considering the reduced noise level when the fans are on a low setting.
The Hoplite is a very new product that has only just hit the market and UK pricing has yet to be confirmed. That said, Enermax informed us just before going live that retail pricing should be £90-95 inc vat (or less), which is a very strong price point indeed.
KitGuru says: A great quality chassis design offering fantastic value for money. We would love to see a more expensive aluminum version of this design released later this year.
