Raidmax Aura Case Review

Conclusions

Raidmax Aura is a mid-tower case targeted to the average user that wants a case with a fancy color. Here is a summary of what we found about this case.

Strong Points

• Available in very unique colors, targeted to the female audience.
• Magnetic lock for the front door.
• Good really screwless mechanisms for fastening disk drives to the case.
• Screwless mechanism for fastening daughterboards to the case.
• No sharp edges that could cut our hands or fingers while building the PC.

Weak Points

• Side fan and power LED are blue, not matching the color of the case.
• Fans use standard peripheral power plugs, not allowing you to monitor their speed.
• Paint job could be a lot better; we found painting flaws on several parts of the case.
• Expensive for a mid-tower case which only unique feature is its color.
• While the number of hard disk drive bays (three) is enough for the average user, high-end users should look for a different product.
• Other mid-tower cases provide more features.

In summary, its overall quality could be better and its price could be lower. What really counts against this case is its price, being more expensive than other products that provide a better overall quality, like Antec Three Hundred – even though you probably won’t find cases on the market with the same color selection.
