Review on Computer case AeroCool Flo Saturn by Stanislaw Kobylka (S ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

My system unit is under the table. And in order not to collect dust from the floor, it is attached to the countertop on the reverse side on a special bracket. The body is located to the left of the workplace. That is, a conventional system unit was directed towards me with a deaf side, which always made its maintenance difficult: for example, in order to clean the dust filters, it was not enough to remove the panel, it was necessary to remove the entire system unit from the mount, disconnect the wires. In a word, uncomfortable. With a system upgrade, I decided to fix this inconvenience. Anyone looking for cases with a left-hand motherboard layout knows that the choice is small. In addition, in few places it is possible to set the criterion "left location of the MP / right window" in the selection conditions. And to find such a case, and even with some kind of "zest", is even more difficult. For those who are puzzled by the same choice, I recommend paying attention, in addition to this case, to the following options: - bq! Dark Base PRO 900 rev.2, models 801 and 700 - Corsair Carbide 600C Inverse ATX Case - Thermaltake Core G3 In my case, they did not fit in size (bench mount has its limitations), although the options are interesting, especially solutions from be quiet! with the possibility of a complete rearrangement of the entire filling. As a result, I stumbled upon this novelty, which I am very happy about - the case is worth every spent. From subjective in layout: A large video card becomes a divider of the internal space of the case into two parts and airflow, incl. blowing the processor, logically, should worsen. In practice, the system (AMD Ryzen 7 3800x with a rather compact cooler be quiet! DARK ROCK SLIM BK024) shows about 40 degrees in idle and up to 65 degrees under load. Those. in general, good performance and some problems with cooling have not yet been observed. Case fans, as I already wrote in the shortcomings, are not controlled by the system and always work at a fixed speed (1000 rpm). The system remains quite quiet, but I would like more control, so I plan to replace them in the future.

Pros
  • + Layout of the case (with the left location of the motherboard and, accordingly, the right window, a vertical video card and the top outlet of the connectors). + Cold. + Quiet even despite the constant operation of the cooling system (see drawback). + Convenient arrangement of elements, good cable management. + Dust filters can be removed without opening the housing. + Interesting design. + Plenty of space in the top cable compartment. The bending of the video cable (DVI) with the lid closed does not cause any concern to me. It is no more than when the wire, in the usual arrangement of connectors, bends down under its own weight. (I read a very expert opinion about this case, that the bend is too strong and how scary it is to live).
Cons
  • - Power supply of case fans on molexes with two wires from each, respectively, operate only in a fixed mode without PWM (system-side control). "We didn't get greedy, we saved money." )) In the future, I plan to replace them with motherboard-controlled ones. - (not a drawback, but a "wishlist") I would like to keep the logic of the upper cable exit in the case of the power supply, so that the entire bundle comes out of a single place, and the bottom is completely free. In my "under-table" version of the placement of the body of wires, it would not be visible at all - pure zen.

With its pros: The case is excellent, everything is well blown) Some cons: If you put dropsy, then there will be no such blowing
