The Enermax Hoplite arrives in a rather plain looking box. Enermax have chosen to go down the eco-friendly route which I would openly encourage. Let's face it, this box will be going into storage once the case is out anyway so in regards to case artistry it isn't something I am overly fussed about. Inside we have the Hoplite, covered in a clear plastic bag and held in place with polystyrene pillars to ensure full protection during transit.
Enermax Hoplite packaging
So with the Hoplite removed from all its packaging we can finally take a look at this new release. For those with enthusiasm for gamer style cases the Hoplite certainly has some physical attraction. It has very bold looks and some excellent contours. The significant side - left, has a protruding panel which has perforated panelling allowing you to attach 2 x 120mm fans.
The alternate side also has a protruding panel but this doesn't have any openings in it but does have the added benefit of providing additional clearance behind the motherboard for cable management.
