ENERMAX HOPLITE ST ECA3261-W ATX Case

Detroit BREAK DOWN
(I’m from the MotorCity and J Giles fan):

A stripped down view

No the HOPLITE did not self explode, but I figured I would tear it all down as if I was going to mod it. It was rather easy to get it to this state and it gives us (you and me) a great look at everything; even if it is all at once. I was able to get the case torn down to this state almost with out a single tool. The only thing that was not tool-less here was the rear fan and front fan door, front fan, top I/O bar and the SATA docking port connector (13 screws). A Phillips and 15 minutes we have this.

Further Break down:  Acrylic side panel comes off with out the need for tools.

I wish all side panel acrylic windows used tool-less button lock rubber rivets.

Front Fan Door for access to fan between front and internal drive bays is a very smart.

The front bay covers can come apart to replace the foam sponge filter. I want to point out the mesh here is bendable and feels it would last many bends. I just finished working on one of the most expensive, premier, popular cases on the market and that mesh broke 1st time bending, this is pliable and strong.

_{Editors note: OK does this look like part of a snow Storm Troopers mask or what?}
