Aerocool Cylon black (ACCM-PV10012.11)
 | Expecting restock $166.33 The main feature of the system unit is the unique design of the front panel. The front part of the case is divided in half by an RGB LED strip, and one of the sidewalls has an acrylic viewing window, while the glass itself is tinted. The chassis allows you to install an ATX motherboard and all its junior derivatives: micro-ATX, mini-ITX. The case received a good cooling potential. In total, there are 7 places for installing fans, but only 1 fan is supplied as standard — a 120 mm cooler for the rear panel. The manufacturer also left the user the opportunity to use the water cooling system. Aerocool Cylon can be considered gaming, as the internal space of the system unit allows you to use a graphics adapter up to 371 mm long. To install a long graphics card, you will have to leave one of the...ventilation slots on the front panel empty. Regarding the installation of hard drives, the user has 2 places for 3.5 "and 2 for 2.5" devices. There are hints that the case belongs to the low-cost class: the use of rather thin metal, limited space for cable management and the absence of a dust filter on the front panel. |

small work of art
Aerocool's Cyklon is a small piece of art that looks much more expensive than its real price. The front panel of the case is plastic, it consists of two triangular volumetric parts, diagonally separated by a transparent plastic insert, under which the LED strip is hidden. The left side panel is made of clear acrylic and is light and quite thin at 4mm. Despite its thickness, the panel behaves very well in operation, and if it is treated with a minimum of frugality, cracks can be avoided for many years. The only drawback of the acrylic insert is its unhealthy love of dust.
13 backlight modes
The backlight of the case can work in 13 modes: seven monotone (red, green, blue, yellow, white, purple and cyan) and six preset programs: a long colour-changing wave, a wave with a set of pale colours, an RGB wave and rain modes (you can choose the direction, either from bottom to top, or vice versa) and “breathing”. The system remembers the last selected backlight mode and displays it when the PC is turned on.
Ease of use
Aerocool Cyklon is made in the Midi Tower form factor, its interior space is divided by an L-shaped cover. Under the lid there is a standard connector for the power supply and a pocket for drives, in which you can put two 3.5-inch and two 2.5-inch devices. The case supports ATX, Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX motherboards and graphics cards up to 371mm in length. In other words, almost any gaming hardware will easily fit here, and there will still be room for a stash.
Support for any cooling systems
The case is cooled by seven 120 mm fans. It is also possible to install liquid cooling with a 120 mm radiator. Plus, the filters are easy to remove and clean. One is located under the power supply, and the other is magnetic — on the top of the case near the navigation panel.
Despite the fact that Aerocool Cyklon is made of rather thin materials, with proper care it can last a very long time, and its elegant design in a pack with LED lights deserves the highest praise.
