CONCLUSION

   The AQUILLA Mid-Tower by AQIRYS may not be a completely new concept (we’ve seen similar designs in the past) but due to its higher build quality and number of available features it actually stands out compared to most. For build quality you just need to look at the fascia (silver for the black version and white for the white version) and the side panels whereas in terms of features the side hinges which allow for very easy opening of the panels and the 4 pre-installed 140mm ARGB fans with their fan hub/controller and the multiple lighting modes are more than welcome. Also having enough room for 240/280/360/420mm radiators at the front, top and right side is certainly not something we see a lot with mid-towers and i dare say the same goes for its GPU, PSU and CPU cooler size compatibility. Yes, room for just 4 drives is far from stellar, noise levels could be better (although not really excessive) and i also have to admit that i didn’t like the fact that the rubber feet of the AQUILLA were all not glued on properly but the latter at least is something you can easily fix by applying some glue of your own (if this is not an issue with my sample that is).

   AQIRYS just recently finished working on their online shop so you can acquire your very own AQUILLA mid-tower directly from them for just 129.99Euros (shop.aqirys.com), a price tag which is more or less alright for this particular model. Yes, as expected the AQUILLA just like all other products by AQIRYS is available only in the EU but that’s something we’ve seen many times in the past with EU based manufacturers. That being said the AQUILLA delivers on everything a quality mid-tower should and for that it gets the Golden Award.
