Aerocool releases new gaming case

With all the new CPUs and graphics cards that came out this past month, it makes sense that many users will end up creating new systems from scratch, and Aerocool provided a case for this exact purpose.

Since gamers and enthusiasts often want their systems to look as good as they run, they look for high-end enclosures.

It is for this reason, in part, that so many companies have succeeded in making a name for themselves on the IT market.

Aerocool Advanced Technologies recognized, of course, the effect that AMD's Fusion, Intel's Sandy Bridge and NVIDIA's GTX 560 would have.

Thus, it provided the Sixth Element, a PC case said to be “an ultimate gamers' choice” according to the product page.

It is a mid-tower model with simple geometric shapes, sharp lines and support for micro ATX and ATX motherboards.

There are two HDD cages, each of which can house up to three 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs, plus four 5.25-inch bays (for ODDs, fan controllers, etc.). One of these cages can be removed if the video card is too long to fit otherwise.

Furthermore, a top-placed I/O panel grants access to an eSATA connector, a pair of USB 2.0 ports and two audio ports.

For cooling, a pair of 140mm fans are set on the front and the top, respectively, with LED lights colored blue, red or white, depending on the model. Finally, a pair of pre-drilled holes exist at the back, for watercooling.

The three versions of the case are Aerocool Sixth Element Black (blue led fans), Red (red fans) and White (white fans). All of them measure 510 (H) x 197 (W) x 530 (D) mm, are made of 0.6mm steel and will start selling in March, for 80 Euro. Until then, the official website has all information available.

I love the case, it looks amazing and is definitely in my wish list, however at this point not adding USB 3.0 is a huge letdown, there is no reason to put in the best known hardware, especially when it's backwards compatible.
