The Hadron AIr

We review the cutest and most tiny chassis from EVGA, the recently introduced Hadron Air. A small mini-ITX form factor chassis that will house the smallest, but also the biggest stuff inside your computer. Heck even a high-end graphics card can even be installed. So yeah, it ain't mid, not full but mini and is intended for small form factor PCs. The Hadron, ladies and gents, is 305mm in height and 169mm in width and that makes the EVGA Hadron chassis small, it's probably the smallest chassis we've tested to date. Ah yes, then there is that name, Hadron. As in the Hadron Collider, where small particles create rather big explosions? We like that. It is an interesting release from EVGA alright as slowly they have moved from an all graphics card selling company towards a total PC solution, graphics cards, gaming peripherals, motherboards, coolers and now chassis as well.

The Hadron is currently being offered in two flavors, the AIR and the Hydro, with the latter obviously being cooled with a liquid cooler. The Hadron has a fairly okay tool free and stylish design and comes with a see through side panel as well. Based on the mini-ITX motherboard form factor you could pair the chassis with an Intel Core i7 Haswell CPU, and Z87 motherboard. Heck, even a full size GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card would fit in there as well, as we will show you later on in this article. To power the components you will however need a small power supply, as such the chassis has a pre-installed and rather flat PSU. It is a 500 watt Gold rated power supply. The Hadron is a sexy boxy chassis that measures 305mm in height and is 169mm wide in size. The shell has been made mainly out of black steel and looks and feels sturdy.

But sure, let's have a closer look shall we?
