Aerocool DS230 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Introduction

One of the most successful product ranges from Aerocool is without a doubt their Dead Silence series. The DS Cube chassis, the DS200 mid-tower chassis, and the DS fans, have all won awards from many sites around the world, including from myself here at eTeknix over the last few years. They delivered silent performance and stunning aesthetics, and that’s something Aerocool are keen to continue with the release of the Aerocool DS230 Mid-Tower Chassis.
