Packaging and Hardware:

We can tell right away that the case is geared to saving you money.  There are no fancy high-color graphics on the box and even the packing material has been cut back.  Instead of the case being packed tightly by Styrofoam on both ends, Aerocool uses cardboard boxes with Styrofoam in the corners only.  It serves its purpose and cuts on cost.

There really isn't a whole lot to expect when it comes to additional hardware for a case.  Especially a case that has so many tool-free features.  You get screws for the motherboard, a speaker, a faceplate with a 3.5" floppy cut-out and four HDD/Fan adapters.

External View:

Is black turning into the new beige?  It seems like every case I see is black, even Dell and HP.  I'm going to start painting my cases beige to be different.  Back from my mini-rant.  Aerocool didn't spend a lot of money on a piano-finish paint job.  However, there are a couple of highly polished areas on the front cover.  Above and below the I/O area, you can see some green and white highlights on the highly reflective area.

This is a steel case and does not have the flimsy feel of a cheaply made case.

The mesh in the front is perfect for a large intake fan.  Every drive bay cover is mesh with filter material attached.  You'll need to make sure you keep this area clean to ensure good ventilation.

Looking down from the top, you can see another mesh area.  You can just leave this exposed the way it is or mount a couple of fans.

The on/off switch is a rocker type switch.  The top half turns the computer on and off and the bottom half is the reset area.  The I/O panel only includes two USB ports and a mic and headphone port.
