I would like to thank EVGA for lending us the review sample. EVGA is well-known for their NVIDIA-based graphics cards and recent power supplies. Instead of going head to head with the crowded case market, they decided to offer an especially small form...

We can't help but like the Hadron Air despite its hefty price tag. EVGA has done a superb job of crafting a seemingly physics-defyingly small case that can still house a seriously powerful system. The use of a custom PSU is the real trick here, with...

The Hadron Air is a good PC case for building a powerful system around a mini-ITX motherboard. Many users have it already and we see mostly great recommendations. Despite being already two years old, the Hadron Air has everything you will find on the...

I really like the compact design, which is very efficient at getting high-end parts in a small volume. Not only that, but the Hadron Air has some sleek exterior looks and features such as the slot loading optical drive. The glossy front panel could...

Zahlt es sich für die Nutzer aus, dass nun auch noch EVGA Gehäuse anbietet? Die Frage mag etwas provokant sein, aber angesichts des kaum mehr zu überschauenden Angebots an Gehäusen hat sie doch ihre Berechtigung. Und um sie gleich zu beantworten: Ja,...
