14 DAY TRIAL // Enermax is definitely determined to put on a show this year. As part of its 20 year anniversary campaign, the company has already unleashed such items as the Aeolus N14 laptop cooler and the MODU87+ power supplies. Now, the outfit decided it was time to ramp up its effort in the PC enclosure field, which is why it brought out its latest gaming mid-tower chassis. The new product goes by the name of Volcanus and, unsurprisingly, boasts a flame-themed design.
Enermax seems to have gone just half-way with the flame theme. Though it etched the motif onto the side of the enclosure, it left the entire exterior coated black. On the other hand, end-users can make up for the so-called lack of color by choosing whichever Apollish Vegas fans they wish. Said spinners were only released last month but they turned heads thanks to their colorful LED lights.
The Volcanus has a honeycomb-mesh front panel, obviously meant to enhance cooling efficiency. This mesh covers not just the large spinner, but also the five exposed 5.25-inch optical disk drive bays. There is also a front I/O panel that provides a number of USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port and audio connectors. As for the inside of the chassis, Enermax threw in several tool-less drive bays and expansion slots, HDD rails with rubber grommets (which serve to reduce vibration) and, of course, the fans.
More specifically, the casing is equipped with a Front Apollish Vegas 140mm propeller that has either red or blue LEDs, depending on consumer choice, and 11 LED modes. The other spinner present is set at the rear and measure 120mm. Naturally, end-users that want the full information on the product may simply visit the official product page on the company's website. Those willing to buy it will have to part with $79.
