Final Thoughts
Price
The Quartz Pro Tempered Glass RGB E-ATX Chassis is available now on Amazon for just £159.25. Of course, that’s not a small amount of money, but it’s still a great deal given the build quality, features, and overall size of the chassis on offer. It’s about the same price as the Corsair 570X, Anidees Crystal, Phanteks Enthoo, and a few others, while offering equal or more features than any of them.
Overview
Aerocool has knocked it out of the park with their latest chassis. Quite a few E-ATX chassis that offer tempered glass and RGB look pretty outlandish. Many brands try to define their own unique style in the enthusiast market. However, Aerocool has played it pretty safe here. They’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, and stuck with a fairly traditional design. That’s actually just the kind of thing I would want from a chassis of this size.
Design and Build Quality
It may be a big black rectangle, but the devil is in the details with this one. The use of two tempered glass windows really smartens up the premium vibe of this chassis, and the dark window tint helps hide all the boring details on the interior. When you fire up the lights, they glow through with a warm and subtle light that doesn’t look as disco frenzy garish as some other RGB products on the market.
Cut from thick steel, and heavily reinforced, the Quartz Pro looks and feels like the premium product you would expect at this price range. The chunky design is going to lend well to those installing heavy-duty and enthusiast hardware. If you’re installing a few large graphics cards, and a lot of thick radiators, you’re going to want them to be in a stable chassis that’s going to literally take the weight, and the Quartz Pro will not have any issues, no matter what you install.
E-ATX
There aren’t many new E-ATX products each year, so it’s always nice to see these bigger chassis from time to time. Even more so for those who want to go all out on their water cooling setup, as the bigger design means bigger radiators. Of
Added Value
The Quartz Pro offers a lot of great features in return for your investment. Aside from the above, you also get a built-in fan speed control, a USB controlled RGB hub, dust filters on every air vent, four pre-installed high-quality fans, rear I/O guide lighting, modular storage and more.
