CONCLUSION

   Thanks to its X-shaped LED RGB illuminated fascia and its rear 140mm ARGB fan the Cronus ARGB Mid-Tower by ThunderX3 is one of the most unique towers I’ve seen in a while. It also has plenty of room for most things you’d ever want to squeeze inside it and that too is very important when looking for a new PC case. Build quality is also very good although the fascia is quite the same as with 90% of what we see with PC cases today. Unfortunately, not all is perfect and of course I’m talking about airflow levels. Sure, by using a single rear fan ThunderX3 allows end users to use their very own at the front or even a radiator (and noise levels are almost non-existent) but what about people who have neither? So yes, even a single front fan would be a huge improvement compared to now so I truly hope ThunderX3 looks into this.

   At the time of this review (and just a few days away from August) the Cronus ARGB Mid-Tower may not be available on the other side of the Atlantic but it’s available in the EU for 86.98Euros (Amazon.de) a price tag which is balanced for such a tower. Still unless you use a radiator you will need to equip the Cronus ARGB with at least a front intake fan to actually create airflow inside so that’s something which will increase its total cost. With that out of the way the Cronus ARGB offers looks, interior space and a good set of features at a good price point and all of those are more than enough for the Golden Award.
