INTRODUCTION

   Up until rather recently interior space, build quality and airflow levels were arguably the most important things to look for when out in the market searching for a new PC case. Nowadays however this has changed and so features like tempered glass panels, ARGB (or plain RGB) lighting, liquid cooling support and front USB-C connectors have become of equal importance for many consumers (primarily enthusiasts and gamers). As a result most PC cases to be released lately by the majority of the manufacturers pack most if not all of those features. One such model is the Aero One Eclipse Mid-Tower by our friends over at Aerocool and today we've placed it under our microscope.

   Aerocool is a Taipei-based, global computer components company with an outstanding record in product design and innovation. Driven by the mantra ‘Be Cool, Be Aerocool’, Aerocool strives to provide innovation in design yet deliver an affordable solution to PC users worldwide.

   The Aero One Eclipse Mid-Tower by Aerocool is one of their best looking models to date not only because it's available in two colors (black and black/white - there's also a mini version available for micro ATX / Mini ITX motherboards) but also thanks to its 4 pre-mounted Eclipse 12 120mm fans (12 addressable RGB LEDs each - 1200RPM/32.1CFM/1.27mmH2O/19.8dBA) and its tempered glass side panel. Of course much like most recent mid-towers by Aerocool the Aero One Eclipse also features a PSU shroud (dual chamber design), drive cage with two 3.5" drive trays, three 2.5" drive mounting areas, top/front magnetic air-filter, removable bottom air-filter and enough room for up to 7 fans (or 2x140mm and 4x120mm) and/or two radiators (240/240/280/360mm), 161mm tall CPU coolers, 180mm long power supply units (220mm with the drive tray removed) and 327mm long graphics cards. Yes, the Aero One Eclipse is a rather compact mid-tower but it does look very capable, on paper at least.
