AeroCool case pros/cons?

Aug 26, 2015 10:28AM PDT

Upgrading from Antec 100 Window to after many hours of reading reviews and research, finally narrowed it down to this case by Aerocool.

Looks super cool and seems to eliminate the need for countless screws, unlike the Antec. Smaller and better airflow, as the HDD in the Antec block front airflow, and the side vent with fan blows hot air back to the GFX/CPU area... Rubber pads are nice but weather stripping does the same job.

The most important feature is case modding. Antec provided a blank slate to let the imagination run rampant. A dremel, time, and brainstorming creates true works of art. That said, the AeroCool does look quite 'busy.'

If you've had experience using this case, could you please share pros/cons?

PS:
Antec: good cable management (medium difficulty), heavy and bulky for mid-atx, nice big window, poor airflow from front with HDD stacks & PCIE RAID card, and nice tray to put keys/wallet/mouse.
