Aerocool DS Dead Silence Cube Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 11 years ago
Interior
The chassis interior is packing plenty of features and has room to mount a mini ITX or micro ATX motherboard, with room to spare on the right for long graphics cards above the slide out HDD bays.
The four expansion slot covers are ventilated and should provide enough room for a multi-GPU configuration if you have the right motherboard.
A slim 600RPM 200mm takes care of airflow into the chassis.
There are two slide out HDD bays at the bottom, each of which can support 3.5″ or 2.5″ drives.
Around the back we can see there’s some extra 3.5″ hard drive bays at the side of the PSU mounting area, as well as plenty of space in the lower half that can be used to route excess cable through the few cable routing holes that surround the motherboard area.
With the top panel removed we see the top fan mount is slightly elevated, this gives better clearance within the chassis and will come in handy for those using water cooling loops. The only downside here is that if you are mounting a 240mm radiator in the top is that you will lose the 5.25″ drive bay.
The front panel may have a 200mm fan installed, but you can remove this and installed a 120mm or 140mm if you wish.
