Aerocool Aero-800 full side windowed case

[KingNosser]

Been a short while since I've been on here, but I've got myself a new case and for the price it's a steal at £40, I am rather stunned how good it is for the price and feel in the budget minded builder it's perfect, so good in fact I feel Mr Logan needs to review it if he hasn't already, case comes in white/blue/black/grey.

I picked up the blue version, has all the basic's a nice full side panel window, it's light and sturdy even thou steal, all the edge's are rounded off nicely no fear of cuts, behind the motherboard seems tight but if your smart with the cables it'll not cause you headaches.

The thing I feel the reason tom needs to review it is the water cooling options, imo thou no expert it seems 100% possible to fit 2x240 rads one in the top of the case and the front with a set of fans, has a nice tidy look due to the PSU cover and it's a good upgrade for me.

I honestly feel in the budget this low nothing comes close unless you go upto the £65 mark for say a S340 or similar case, also feel it'd make a nice cheap case as a practice modding case, but for the price of £40 I love this case it's just top notch for the small outlay.

Just thought I'd post for those that may be interested in a very good budget case, the only small let down is no grommets, but has plenty of ssd mounts and features you dont normally see in this price range at all.

For me it's a silver value for money award case and deserves peoples attention

I've just finished my first custom build in one of these, so I haven't got much experience of cases but I got it from overclockers for £34.99 which is a bargain, considering what you can spend on a case. I like the idea of a blue case instead of the normal black, and it just happens to match the colour of my M3 as well

Only thing I've done is replace the standard two fans (one black, one blue LED) with corsair jobs, mainly because I'm a bit OCD and I wanted 140mm's in the front. I've gone for a 240mm H100i GTX in the top but you can fit a 280mm rad in the front.

Gratuitous whoring picture:







Cable management is good, no sharp edges as you say, good airflow from what I can see, for £35 it's a bargain imo.

How good is the paint on that case?

 

[Mr.Jimbo]

Not bad. A little orange peely up very close, but presentable. Good coverage, and (biased) an awesome colour!

The only thing I might do is paint the feet black, although you don't really see them, they're moulded, rather than painted, in that blue colour and the finish isn't quite the same.

Most aerocool cases do really feel like crap if you've worked with other brands like corsair, fractal,NZXT and others. Most of the time no options for cable management or very little till a point that you'd some times prefer everything inside instead of hidden at the back cause you just cant.

Out of Aerocool's options, i find the DS200/DSCube's the best amongst them, the Aero-1000 is one the better ones too, havent had a Aero-800 yet but i assume it will look and build the same at most of the aspects ^^
