It has been a while since we have had the pleasure of reviewing any items from our friends at AeroCool USA, we just recently found out that the Spam Assassin settings on our mail server had been acting a bit to aggressive and had been blocking a number of friendly emails and those from AeroCool USA was one of them. Today we have the pleasure of reviewing one of the high-end cases from AeroCool's Performance Gaming System's Group B series.
If you haven't visited AeroCool USA's web site recently check it out and you will see that the Performance Gaming System cases are broken down into sub-categories by letters. Starting with the letter V = Value series, R = Professional series, S = Aluminum series, B = Ultimate gaming series and finally the letter Q = compact series.
The BX-500 falls under the letter B = Ultimate gaming series so come along as we check this case out.
