INTRODUCTION
Between design, interior space, features and needless to say build quality what do you put first when out to get a brand new PC tower/case? It all comes down to needs really and even though i too would like to have a good looking PC tower next to my desk due to my job which requires swapping hardware components on a daily basis, interior space is far more important. Most people however are usually after PC towers/cases which combine a good chunk of all of the above and that's a lot harder to find, especially when cost is also an issue. Aerocool has always been one of those manufacturers who tend to the needs of consumers on a budget and their latest Cronus ARGB Mid-Tower released under their ThunderX3 brand promises to deliver on looks, interior space, features and build quality at a lower price point than its competition.
Designs and creates gaming peripherals including gaming chairs and is a division of Aerocool Advanced Technologies Corporation based in Taipei. We aim to deliver new products for the gaming community that break new market standards and complement the eSports scene. Quality, design and technological excellence are the pillars sustaining our philosophy.
At first glance the ThunderX3 Cronus ARGB Mid-Tower clearly focuses on two areas, design thanks to its front RGB panel (X-shaped), single rear 140mm ARGB fan and left side panel made out of premium tempered glass and interior space. To be more precise the Cronus ARGB features a dual chamber design and sports enough room for either three 3.5" and/or five 2.5" drives, six 120mm or five 140mm fans and/or two 240mm radiators, 180mm tall CPU coolers, 387mm long graphics cards and up to 223mm long power supply units (roughly 380mm with the drive cage removed). ThunderX3 also equipped the Cronus ARGB with a total of 10 PCI expansion slots (7 horizontal and 3 vertical), 6-port RGB fan hub (compatible with ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light and Gigabyte RGB Fusion) and a vertical GPU bracket. So, the time has finally come for me to get close and personal with the latest Cronus ARGB Mid-Tower by ThunderX3.
