AeroCool used the makes sure the customer knows what they are
getting before they open the box by taking two full color photographs of two
different styles of the cases. They then go on to list the features of
this case and surprisingly the list is quite long, since this case can not be
described as run-of-the-mill-case. We will go into greater detail about what
sets the AeroCool Zero apart from most cases the farther we get into the review.
Looking at the AeroCool Zero Degree for the first time I was
taken aback by the exceptional finish on the exterior of the case, the black
finish appears to be nearly flawless and adds a very masculine look to the
case. Combine that with the brushed aluminum accent pieces used on the
case and end up with a very professional looking enclosure that will be at
home in a office or a gamers desktop.
Adding detail to the case is the solid brushed aluminum
door which has been painted black to match the case, but it is used to cover the nine bay opening of the case. The door has a
pair of scalloped cuts made in it at the top and bottom of the door giving
it a balanced appearance as well providing a means to allow more air to
circulate into the system.
Located in the center of the door is a another
opening that is covered with a tight wire mesh and has a nice AeroCool
emblem in the center of it. This is just one more method the case
is going to draw air into the case through the nine bay covers.
You will notice that the top drive bay cover has an
opening in it already in the event that you would want to add a floppy
drive or a card reader of some sort, we will be adding the AeroCool
Infinite Card Reader when we put the wraps on the case.
You can see that part of the reason that the top of the
door has got a nice relief cut into the top of the door is to allow you gain
access to the controls and connectors of the accessory panel without
actually opening the door all the way itself
Here you can see a Red and Green LED that indicate Power
for the system and HDD Indicator, a pair of USB 2.0 connectors, microphone
and headphone connectors and finally a reset and power switch which are both
make from brushed aluminum.
