Aerocool Cylon RGB Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Complete System


A cheaper chassis this may be, but it’s certainly capable of housing a nice system in style. The build went without a hitch, and while the cable space looked limited, it really wasn’t. Of course, the PSU shroud helped a lot in regard to the cables.

GPU clearance is excellent, with room for multiple expansion cards. Furthermore, long graphics cards are unlikely to cause any issues either.

Cable Routing

The routing hole placement for the motherboard could be better. However, it still provided enough room to pass cables through after installing the motherboard.

You can fit a pretty good size CPU cooler in here. Our Noctua N14 was about 1mm from the side panel. But hey, if it fits, it fits. A 120mm AIO in the back or a 240mm AIO in the front would also work really well.

Fans

Plenty of room for airflow from the front. However, no stock fans is a kicker, so if you’re not putting an AIO in the front, pick up a 120mm fan or two at the checkout.

With the window back in place, the chassis is very reflective. The reflectiveness is mostly due to the dark black interior though. Turn the power on, and that will change.

RGB to the Max

The LED button on the front panel controls the lighting. Hold it for two seconds, the lights turn out. However, tap it once, it’ll cycle through a range of stock colours and then some effects. The colour cycle flowing mode is stunning though, as you’ll see in the pictures below. Without a doubt, this is one of the slickest looking front panel lighting systems you’ll find in this price range.
