CONCLUSION

   At first glance the Xpredator X3 Devil Red Edition seems to combine looks with quality and plenty of features so when we heard it was on its way here we couldn't wait to get our hands on it although as always i was a little bit skeptical since this is the first time I’ve actually used anything from Aerocool. Aerocool has been around for quite some time now and just like Raidmax they focus a lot on the exterior of their products so in this area either you will love the Xpredator X3 Devil Red Edition the moment you see the black/red color combination, the large side window and the top fins or you will not, i doubt there's a middle ground here. Build quality is also very nice and the 2.5" hot-swap slot along with the two fan controllers, the 8 drive trays and the room for up to 9 fans and/or two 240mm/280mm radiators are features we don't see a lot. The only problem with the XPredator X3 Devil Red Edition for some people could be the room it has for graphics cards since you can't use one longer than 310mm in length although i can't think of a current model that's over 300mm long (some older ones are however).

   Since the XPredator X3 Devil Red Edition midi tower is the very first product from AeroCool to make it here i didn't know exactly what to expect in terms of pricing (i have seen their products being sold for years now but i never paid much attention) however the current price tag of USD129.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 108Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) is actually quite good. Of course to some people it may sound as a bit high but it's actually quite good for what you're getting since the XPredator X3 Devil Red Edition midi tower looks good, is sturdy, has plenty of interior space and many useful features we don't see much. Now I’m not saying that you can't find better towers in the market since you obviously can but at around that price point there aren't really many towers that can compete with the XPredator X3 Devil Red Edition which is why it gets our Gold Award.
