Complete System
The final build on the AeroCool Aero-1000 is really nice, a very clean-looking build overall and aside from removing the top hard drive bay to make room for our massive Sapphire R9 270X graphics card, I ran into no issues.
With the top hard drive bay removed, there’s little obstruction between the front fans and our graphics card. Excellent cable management is also helping to minimise any obstructions to the airflow.
Even with the top hard drive bays we still have two 2.5″ drive bays and a two 3.5″ drive bays, more than enough for most system builds and you could always use adaptors to put more drives in the 5.25″ bays if you really needed them.
You can see how much I needed to remove that top bay, our Sapphire R9 270X is one of the larger cards on the market. Also, now that it’s removed, you can see all that extra space for a front mounted radiator.
Overall, this is a really nice looking build with great airflow and cable routing.
The cable routing in particular stands out here, or more precisely, it doesn’t, as when we look through the side panel window, all I can see are the lovely components such as the graphics card and the motherboard; not the boring cables.
