Enermax Hoplite Mid Tower

Now when most people think of Enermax most would think of power supplies and fans. Cases? Not so much. But Enermax does have cases and today we are looking at the newest addition to their Mid Tower line up: the Hoplite Series. Now, I say series because there are 3 versions of the Hoplite: The ECA3220, ECA3221 and ECA3222. The differences between the models are in the internal drive cage arrangement and whether or not it has the top drive docking station. The model we are looking at today is the Hoplite ECA3220.

The ECA3220 has 4 external 5.25 bays, 2 external 3.5 hot swap bays, 1 top mounted 2.5/3.5 drive dock, 4 internal 3.5 bays and 2 internal 2.5 bays. The ECA3220 also has includes a front intake 120mm blue/red combo-LED fan that has external lighting and speed controls and a rear 120mm exhaust fan. There is also space for two 120mm fans on the side panel and two 120mm or 140mm fans or dual 120mm radiator in the top.

The Enermax ECA3220 can accommodate video cards of up to 315mm (13.77) in length. 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.
