Final Thoughts
Price
The Aerocool Aero-800 can be picked up from most major retailers, although we found it at Scan.co.uk for a very reasonable £38.98, which is amazing value for money given the quality and features the Aero-800 has on offer.
Overview
I must admit that I’m very impressed with what Aerocool has achieved here. The budget-friendly part of the market is no stranger to competition and for years, there has been a lot of products from a huge range of brands for anyone to pick from. However, the Aero-800 is by far one of the best very chassis I’ve seen in this price range and that’s great news for consumers.
When it comes to picking a chassis for your build, you’re going to want something that looks great and in my opinion, the Aero-800 fits that bill perfectly, both inside and out. The front panel has a neat and tidy design, there’s plenty of ventilation without looking too “extreme” and there’s a large and tinted side panel window. Overall, it would look just as comfortable sitting in an office as a workstation, as it would be fitted with a pair of GTX 1080’s and a water cooling system in someone’s bedroom.
Build quality is pretty robust too, with a good thickness to the steel panels, nicely finished plastics and a good quality paint job throughout. The addition of cable routing, a PSU shroud, and dust filters certainly sweeten the deal, as do the two pre-installed 120mm fans. Overall, you’re going to have a hard time finding anything better for this kind of money.
While this is an affordable product, I’m pretty confident that it’ll prove a hit with those who are aiming for more expensive system builds too. The quality is good, the design is smart, and it’s got some nice features. What money you save on your budget with this chassis can always be put towards a faster graphics card or more powerful CPU.
