We take a look at the budget Aerocool case that redefines what it means to be budget - starting with the price tag...
Aerocool have a reputation for affordability, but we haven't experienced many of their products that disappoint - from the excellent Gatewatch to the GT-1000 heatsink.
Of course both of these are rather old and can't actually be bought any more, which brings us to what you can actually buy: the Aerocool Bx-500.
Described in full as the slightly awkward-to-pronounce "Aerocool PGS B Series Bx-500", this case is listed in the "Ultimate Gaming Series" section of Aerocool's website, which considering the $180-odd price, suggests it offers quite a lot to the enthusiast.
Indeed the images on the product page make it look quite exceptional, pictured with more 120mm red LED fans than seems practical, and suggesting it's quite the capable machine - of course, it doesn't come with all the fans as stock.
We've reviewed the chassis in Issue 117 of the magazine, which will be hitting newsagents next week, but until then feel free to see the Bx-500 in our gallery of photos and postulate your own theories in our comments section below.
