Aerocool DS Cube Computer Case Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2014-03-21

Taiwanese case manufacturer Aerocool is known for its affordable enclosures, however that doesn't necessarily imply the products are inferior in design nor quality. Sadly our last encounter with an Aerocool product was not that stellar. The full tower GT-S case was overpriced, especially looking at the build quality and cooling performance it delivered. This more humble looking DS cube could change our state of mind; featuring mATX and mITX compatibility, the provision to install an optical drive, being water cooling ready and even normal sized air coolers can be installed in this Dead Silence Cube. Could this DS be one of the main competitors in the HTPC or portable mini game PC market? Time to open the box to discover the Aerocool's Cube offering.

A Closer Look

After removing the side panel we can spot the two main compartments of the Dead Silence cube. The top compartment houses the most vital hardware: motherboard, graphics card, processor and cooler. In the bottom part we find room for the storage devices and the power supply.

 

 

 

 

In the top part there's room for an optical drive and floppy drive or card reader. Take note that this rack can be removed to support longer graphics card and/or allow easier installation of a high end water cooling system.

 

 

Two slide-able 3.5" HDD trays and two 2.5"HDD/SSD are foreseen for your storage devices, alike similar cube cases this is more then plenty for most users.
