Aerocool DS Dead Silence Cube Chassis Review

Complete System

Total build time on the Dead Silence was around 45 minutes, which is twice as long as a build normally takes me, but this can be attributed to the small work space and tricky cable routing that was required to complete the build. That being said, I didn’t really experience any major issues with the installation process aside from the fact that it took a little longer to complete.

The GTX 560 Ti isn’t a small card, but it certainly has more than enough room to breathe here, easily enough room for another GPU if you have an SLI capable Micro-ATX motherboard. You can even remove the FDD bay to increase the headroom and length to 350mm.

There is plenty of room behind our PSU also and it was possible to connect the modular cables after installing the power supply.

Around the back we can see that cable management is pretty good given that there are no actual places to hide cables completely from site. I have however used the FDD bay and the rear storage mount to “stuff” excess cables, but this really wasn’t essential as there is plenty of room below the motherboard to hold excess cables and still maintain a good airflow.

With the side panel back on we see our GTX 560 Ti in all its glory, I must admit it does look fantastic through the window and this chassis could really pop out with some cheeky back lighting on the interior.

With everything back in place we see the chassis in all its glory, everything looks neat and tidy and it looks pretty snazzy with the ventilated top panel and windowed side panel.
