Great value for money, one of the best offers.

For a year and a half, it has collected more than one workstation on the i7-6900k + 1050Ti. An honest PSU in terms of power, not gold, but pulls a 3D workstation for days without any complaints. Immediately upon assembly, I replaced all coolers with super-quiet Noctua ones, including the PSU. We managed to shove a standard 80x80x25 cooler inside the PSU, slightly deforming the PSU cover, but getting excellent airflow and silence. Yes, I had to modify a little myself, but what do you want for…

Pros
  • Great compact case for home and office. Convenient arrangement of elements inside. USB 3.0 on the front. Possibility to place the body lying down. Excellent internal organization. Modern unobtrusive design. Honest power supply. Price.
Cons
  • Noisy coolers in the PSU and bundle. But everything is solved by replacing inside the PSU with a quieter one (thankfully it is on the connector), and two additional ones in the case above and below solve the remaining problems with noise and cooling. Installing a video card requires the lack of fixation of the bar, otherwise there is a chance to damage the mother.

The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

I was looking for a compact case to put it under the TV and watch movies (I used the components from an old computer on a 775 socket, asus gt610 with passive cooling). How did you solve the noise problem? Based on the previous review. I disassembled the PSU, replaced the stock cooler (15 mm) with a regular (25 mm) 80 mm powered 3pin (I used longer screws to fit it). I connected the 80-ku through the zalman fan mate speed controller to the 4pin connector of the motherboard. I removed the case…

Pros
  • 1. Compact (can be placed vertically and horizontally). 2. Spacious (mATX motherboard, 70mm cooler fit easily, ssd\hdd (2x2.5) and hdd 3.5\dvd drive). 3. Nice appearance. 4. Power supply and case cooler included. 5. Price.
Cons
  • Noisy power supply.

Excellent, high quality case. verycommpact, the main criterion was exactly the size to place horizontally on a small shelf. All options werecomnsidered, incl. vertical blocks like this one, and I knew in advance that it would be necessary to "" some legs so that the ventilation window from below would not overlap in a horizontal position. It turned out that there was no need to fence anything,commplete with the block there are small legs on double-sided tape for horizontal placement. Inside…

Pros
  • Equipment Metal quality and processing Internal ergonomics Nice appearance

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

Ideal for office and general home use. If there is a connector for M.2 PCe NVMe on the motherboard, the entire office / home PC assembly fits on the installation of the processor, RAM and M.2 SSD on it and screwing it to the case. Has pros: - Compact, hidden cable management, removable box for HDD/SDD and CD-DVD devices, and under it there is room for 3.5 "HDD - Quiet 80 x 80 fan with two ways to connect: either to a molex with two pins, or to the motherboard with three pins (it's better on the

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

Unfortunately, Aerocool is discontinuing the production of the entire line of mini-cases. And you can find them only in the remains. White people have completely disappeared. To the delight of bright offices, there is such a thing as a spray can)))))

Pros
  • Small, inexpensive, stylish in this format. Has a built-in PSU.
Cons
  • There is none of them.

I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

Someone does well, and someone sculpts incomprehensible crafts. I have no complaints about the Aerocool case. I have always liked this company for its devices. Now I took the body to work. Two disks, a disk drive, a mother with a CPU stood up like family. I also sawed a few fans into the case. Also placed. I had to play around a bit with CPU cooling, pick up a powerful and low cooler. And that's it.

Pros
  • The case is narrow, compact, additional fans are already installed, the original placement of disks.
Cons
  • Didn't meet.

Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

Has pros: one plus is that there is a power supply, separately for this case is not cheap. Has cons: the place is small, but everything that I wanted to install was included, if the assembly is for a gaming computer, then you need to select a low-end video card

My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

As previous commenters have repeatedly pointed out, the default fan in the power supply is terrible. I just don't understand why, from the point of view of some, this is a Very Big Problem. Hands forgot which end of the screwdriver to hold? So it seems that separately computer cases are bought by people who assemble the computer themselves. Yes, low-profile 80mm fans are rare. But we don't need a dozen, we only need one! I bought Akasa Slimfan AK-FN076. He stood in his place as if he had…

Pros
  • Very tiny mATX case with a fairly powerful power supply for a very reasonable price
Cons
  • Disgustingly noisy fan in the power supply

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

Took for the "mother" ASRock B550m Steel Legend. Due to the specific location of the power supply unit (it is located not at the back, but at the front panel), power was not immediately included in the "mother"; BP interfered. I solved the problem by moving it a little. I don't consider it a disadvantage. Rather, it is a feature of the combination of "mother" and this case.

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

Very comfortable. I installed an old hard drive and a DVD drive in it, everything was cleaned up, If necessary, you can install a low-profile video card, with such a modest case size, this is very good. Has pros: Appearance. Universal sizes. The presence of a power supply Powerful power supply. Included are small nice little things, such as self-adhesive legs for a horizontal arrangement, stands for a vertical arrangement, enough screws to mount any device, an adapter for connecting USB3.0…

The product is of poor quality, I do not advise.

Got to replace the processor, planned Core I5 ​​2500 (95W) + GT1030 did not pull the power supply began to whistle and turn off. Core I3 2130 (65W) + GT1030 works stably. Very loud fan noise. I had to open the power supply and change the fan to a low-noise one with a loss of warranty. Pros below: Compactness. Design. Possibility of horizontal and vertical placement. Different cons: The power supply destroyed all the positive emotions from a good case. I bought it because of the 400W power…

In general, a cool case, I assembled a gaming machine with a gtx 1050 ti. It turned out the size of a prefix, but it is 2-3 times more powerful. I had to look for sale and install PWM fans. Otherwise, either noise or extreme heat. It would be ideal if there would be such a case for itx boards, without a DVD bay. But what is - that is, this one is also good. PSU is noisy but cools well Pros below: Nice little case a little bigger than xbox You can put 2 fans without a Power supply included…

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Very compact body with excellent internal organization. Enough space for any device. All wires are pulled through the back wall. Fits 1xCD, 1x2.5' SSD and 1x3.5' HDD. But! In my case, I had to fit a CD and two 2.5' devices (SSD and HDD 2TB). I had to collect screws with washers of different sizes in order to attach the 2.5 'hard drive to the 3.5 '. The power supply, though powerful, but with an unregulated (! ) fan, constantly thrashing at maximum speed. It's 2022 in the yard, and here is…

Pros
  • Compact size. Excellent internal organization. Cable management. Capacity for many components. USB 3.0 on the front. Ventilation. Stands for vertical installation or legs for horizontal. Design. Not thin walls.
Cons
  • Extremely noisy PSU fan. Too bright power button LED.

I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

It seemed to me that the price-quality is a solid 5-ka. After the assembly, only positive impressions remained. Yes, the power supply is noisy, but it's not critical for me. Has pros: Case materials are of good quality. All sharp corners and edges are rolled, never scratched during assembly. The kit comes with a bag of screws needed for assembly. Its cons: The power supply is noisy. Somewhere in the reviews I read that it can be upgraded.

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…

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

Nothing special, there are positives and negatives.

I redid the ventilation scheme: I completely removed the case fans, removed the drive bay 5.25, turned the power supply upside down, removed half of its case along with 80x80 and fixed my 4-pin 92x92x25 fan, set it to 1000 RPM in the BIOS for both fans. It became much quieter. The air sucked in by the processor cooler is quite enough. G4600 barely reached 45 degrees.

Pros
  • Rare compact size
Cons
  • Noise level PSU for the office, for the house you want quieter

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Having dug a little Market found this power supply: "Chieftec SFX-450BS 450W" - only with positive reviews. After checking the attachment points (according to the pictures) and the place of the power cable socket, I bought it without thinking. It fit perfectly, without any remarks at all . . a very quiet and powerful (for its form factor) power supply, with a controlled cooler speed. The only thing is, if you have CPU power through an 8 pin connector, you will have to purchase a 4pin to 8pin…

Pros
  • I decided to "repack" the HTPC computer from the Antec case into a more modern and compact one, the choice fell on the AeroCool CS-101 400W Black. In terms of ergonomics, it fit perfectly, right under my configuration: mATX + SSD 2.5 "+ HDD 3.5" + CD-RW.
Cons
  • For a home theater (HTPC), the "native" AeroCool SX-400 400W power supply turned out to be unrealistically noisy, I tried to modify it according to the recommendations of previous reviews - I put an expensive and silent cooler Akasa AK-FN076 into it. But the power supply turned out to be "defective" at the component level, the whistle of the chokes became clearly audible, even when scrolling in the browser, the whistle sharply manifested itself and "cut" the ear.

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

Probably for half an hour I endured the noise of the power supply fan, after which I decided to throw it out and put it back to normal. But, for starters, I decided to try replacing the fan on it. Since the fan inside is narrow and I did not find such for sale, it was decided to put the fan outside the power supply. So, a step-by-step solution to the problem (without additional costs): - removes a regular fan from the power supply unit; - assemble the power supply; - we mount a fan on the…

Pros
  • Beautiful appearance, compact, convenient assembly A large CPU fan fit normally (I installed Deepcool GAMMA ARCHER PRO)
Cons
  • Very noisy fan on the power supply. Either change the power supply, or modify the design.

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

Great! I am satisfied. Compact narrow body. Just right for my workplace. The three fans installed inside do not interfere with calm communication at all, I am thinking about working issues. There is simply no noise. The power supply calmly pulls all the hardware and the load on the latter. No questions. I'm thinking of taking the same one home. I'm tired of the fact that at home the system unit takes up a huge space . .

Pros
  • Its compactness. Fitted a video card, two hard drives. It worked out great. And the presence of a 400-watt power supply added to the joy of buying a case.
Cons
  • No.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

Cooling for a percent took this: . I don’t play games, but I took the percentage without integrated graphics, so this video is here: . It turns into a low-profile one very easily, everything for this is included in the kit. I made improvised dust filters from gauze (mb old stockings are better for this), cat hair now does not get inside and is brushed off with a slight movement of the hand. Obviously, this worsens air circulation, which is why a fan was added. It is not a guide to action. :)

Pros
  • Compact. Adequate price. USB 3 on the front.
Cons
  • Compact. Adequate price. USB 3 on the front.
