Review on Computer case AeroCool CS-101 400 W, black by Boyan Lalov ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I can't say that I was completely satisfied with the product.

It doesn’t fit in my head, as in the second decade of the twenty-first century, such a not the last company in the case building business as AEROCOOL, which also produces separate power supplies, can put in its case, which is positioned as an HTPC, a power supply with an unregulated fan . The howl of this eighty-millimeter carloson, continuously thrashing at four and a thousand revolutions, is simply incredibly embittering, especially against the background of the upper eighties, which is absolutely silent (stopped the squealing bastard with a toothpick). Of course, a lot is decided in this world - you can power the villain at 5 volts, you can generally replace it with a four-pin one and connect it to your mother, but do I need this for the four thousand I paid with my own hands? In addition, the power supply is sealed with a warranty sticker. Therefore, I can recommend the case only if you have it standing somewhere in the closet. Ears could not stand it, spit on the warranty and dismantled the power supply. Inside is a "thin" eighties with a non-alternative two-pin connector. It is pointless to power it with 5 volts, since at low speeds it will not blow through the power supply. I replaced it with the usual "thick", which with a creak and interference, but got in. Powered it up with 5 volts through Molex and there was a long-awaited silence. The system has an INTEL Core i3 6300 processor and an SSD. There is no video card. Even in theory, at its peak, the system cannot consume more than 75 watts, so the 400 watt power supply just smokes here. Four months have passed - the flight is normal.

Pros
  • Elegant and strict appearance. Well organized interior space. Qualitatively rolled and painted metal.
Cons
  • Power supply fan.
