Aerocool DS 200 White Edition [EN52629]

But the look of the DS 200 is already speaking for itself. In the relatively conventional form of a mid-tower cast, but like the skilful design strokes of the pen, with which Aerocool manages to produce Unverwechseltbarkeit. So is approximately lid and front panel vertical wells from the outer surfaces, and this can not only visual accents, but also meets functional purposes: in these trenches air intake openings are present, which cause the fan fresh air can suck into the case without but too exposed to be and to have their operating noise to pass through a Meshpanel outward.

On the cover Aerocool gives users a matter of choice whether he may use a solid cover piece here or prefer to instead wants the Airflow attach more weight by simply touches the supplied Meshpanel. While Meshgitter and the pre-insulated side panels are black, front and top look very refreshing in this variant in white. In addition Aerocool relies on a leather-like coating that feels great and a slightly matt color quality results. The discreet brand logo at the bottom and two ODD aperture breaking up the flatness example, hardly on, everything seems fortunately all of a piece.

Up then provides a round-shaped LCD display between the control buttons and the USB ports (including two USB 3.0) for a certain something. On the LCD, the temperature of a sensor inside is displayed in either degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit and in one of seven selectable colors. Around the display are arranged four buttons, which allow the selection of voltage levels for the fan control. Up to three fans with a total output of 25 watts are in white-black AeroCool DS 200 may be connected thereto and can thus be between completely disabled and set full power.

In the interior, especially the various drive housings catch the eye, so a total of two optical devices, five large hard disks (or 2.5-inch drives), and in addition two small SSDs sheetingable, most of which are decoupled without tools and with rubber washers. Per supplied adapter framework, a 5.25-inch bay also accommodate an external 3.5-inch device such as a card reader and if the other slot is equipped with an optical drive, this is in the stowed position drawer virtually invisible, what is a self-opening and closing stealth bezel in white makes.

The middle HDD cage for up to three hard drives is removable. Thus, the maximum graphics card length from 29 to a whopping 41 cm stretched. But may also cause a 4.5 cm thick heat exchanger in the 280-mm or 240-mm dual format are set on edge behind the front. Yet another is in the ceiling space, when using the mesh-top panel. Accordingly, the rear also features two hose openings for water cooling. Who is dear to air cooling, but does not come off, because in addition to the rear 120 mm fan and the two front fan slots (one occupied the factory with a 140mm fan) can also 140er/120er-Fans two or a large 200-propellers are used in the cover.

Filter behind the front panel and the power supply place in the soil (for PSUs to 22 cm) keep dust away and are removable for easy cleaning. Many rubberized holes in the tray allow convenient cable laying and thumbscrews at the seven PCI slots and at the side panels are no less convenient for installation or replacement of hardware components in the DS-200 Tower. And despite the insulating mats, the Aerocool large area attaches to the two outer walls, stately processor cooler can still be used with 17 cm height in the DS 200.
