Aerocool Cylon case review

The Front and Top Panels

The front panel of the Aerocool Cylon is solid, with a translucent diagonal stripe with RGB LEDs.

Figure 3: front panel

Removing the front panel (just pull it) you see the metallic panel where you can install up to three 120 fans. There is no air filter here. You can install a radiator up to 240 mm.

The top panel has a mesh area in the rear, and the panel with buttons and connectors on the front.

The mesh area is protected by a filter, held in place with a magnet stripe. Figure 6 shows this opening without the filter. You can install a 120 mm fan here, or a 140 mm slim fan.

On the front of the top panel is the area with the power button, earphone and microphone connectors, two USB 2.0, one USB 3.0 port, reset button, HDD activity and power LEDs, and SD and Micro SD card reader. The button next to the front edge controls the frontal RGB LEDs, changing colors and patterns.
