aerocool aero engine rgb b

   Just like the recently reviewed DA601 Mid-Tower by Antec the main selling point of the Aero Engine RGB Mid-Tower by Aerocool is its front fascia which thanks to the single 120mm RGB LED fan mounted on it vastly improves its looks. Of course, its tempered side panel also adds to its looks but the turbine-inspired fascia is without doubt what sets it apart from similarly priced cases. Interior space on the other hand could be better since being able to mount up to 155mm tall CPU coolers is a number we haven’t seen in a long time. I was also surprised to see that Aerocool doesn’t list any front/top radiators (you should be able to mount an 240mm radiator even on the PSU shroud) in the specifications list but as you can see in this review it’s possible. That being said you can still mount up to five drives, eight fans, 371mm long graphics cards and 180mm long power supply units inside the Aero Engine RGB so not all is bad in that regard.


   Everywhere we looked on the other side of the Atlantic the Aero Engine RGB is not available so currently you can only find it inside the EU for a price tag of 51.11Euros (Amazon.de). This of course is a very fair price for what you’re getting in return and even though the Aero Engine RGB is far from perfect thanks to its fascia, tempered glass side panel and somewhat sufficient interior space we really do think you should give it a chance.
