Aerocool Cylon RGB Case review - it's only £35?

Today KitGuru reviewer Ben Smith takes a look at the new £35 RGB case from Aercool. Is the Cylon RGB a bargain at only £35 or are there problems under the skin? Read our full review over on Kitguru here: goo.gl/3xFpHR
EDIT: Yes, we know there is no such thing as Acrylic glass, its one or the other - its acrylic. Ben just made a little slip in the dialogue.

I have the same case and that was the first thing i tried when i plugged in my PC the first time. Worked lika a charm.

[@panossaridis8807]

mitchjk11 it’s sata, the other connector goes to the led board behind the front panel

[@PHDarren]

I can confirm this too, I have the Bolt and it's the same.

[@miniclip0703]

From what I've seen online you can indeed turn off the RGB strip on the front without disconnecting the cables, apparently, you just hold the RGB mode selector button down for a bit and it'll turn the lights off till you press it again.

[@Paddhie]

Confirmed. got this case myself and that´s exactly how you turn the RGB off. Pressing the button once again turns it on again, letting you return to the rgb mode you had activated before turning it off.

[@muragane44]

@@Paddhie i got the case too but the front is always off but why? :/

[@Paddhie]

well if you got the front LED's connected to your psu, you should be able to turn them on. if it doesnt work, try another plug from your psu. if it works with another plug, one of your plugs may be damaged. if the led's wont work on any plug, they´re probably damaged and you should send it back to vendor to get a new case.

[@aydengeiger3269]

What am I looking at

[@arthurdanielles4784]

I had an unused B250 mining motherboard so bought the cylon case and built up the system using a pentium CPU threw in 8Gb ram win10 64 bit with a 500Gb SSD 500w power unit and sold it to my sister who wanted one simply for general use (I did put in a fan at the top IN and the fan at the rear OUT plus Intel stock cooler. Plus a oouple of RGB strips interior as the case has the tempered glass. System runs at about 32 - 50 degrees absolutely no probs. As you say the RGB is really good and my sister loves the appearance of the unit overall. So, great review. Oh and I got over the internal SSD connectors by using straight power plugs NOT the L shapes ones.

[@AncientGameplays]

Well, by experience, at least in this case, the motherboard's 8pin cable can pass behind the motherboard, so, no need to cross the cable like that :D

[@dan3a]

I actually passed my 4 pin (yes, it's old) in a strange hole just above the mobo

[@chulxify]

Ancient Gameplays Hey man, how has your experience with airflow in this case been?

[@jonnyhogan1921]

awesome vid! i was afraid it was a cheap knock off case for a quick cash grab but im super excited now. youre a huge help thanks!

[@sunmoon2b]

Have ypu bought it? How's the airflow and quality?

[@jonnyhogan1921]

@@sunmoon2b in the midst of typing, i am currently building my new rig. pros: looks great gives you plenty cable mangement holes cons: fan mounts in the front are flimsy air intake in the front is meh the psu shroud feels more in the way than not and isnt removeable also the clear side panel is plastic and feels cheap/ flimsy. as a first time buyer of a case meant for flash than function............... it passes, barely. this case is noticabley small when working on it. now its a mid atx case but i cant but feel like my hands get stuck too often trying to get the cables managed. honestly i do like this case, i just dont think reveiwers have given all the flaws proper screen time. if it ever goes on sale grab one. either than that get something with an actual glass panel from a more respected brand. hoped it helped.

@@jonnyhogan1921 I would buy a phanteks p350x or a carbide spec 270R instead of this then. Thanks.

4:03 putting a fan there in pull configuration will give you worst temp then not having a fan in there in first place. that fan isn't doing anything other then reducing the amount of air GPU fans can blow on GPU heatsink. NEVER install a fan that pulls the air away from front of a fan that's blowing air on heatsink/radiator.

[@Marcus-bp7jb]

long time ago, but where do you want your fans to be? in the top and near the rgb or?

[@lukebrown4865]

The fan on top of the shroud is meant to increase cool air going to gpu otherwise it clashes with the oncoming air from your psu

[@meliornmusic6458]

Those CPU temps are amazing considering that is a stock Wraith Stealth, nice build!

[@ianmoore1099]

I will be getting this case since it is affordable and doesn't seem like such a bad case.

[@Arashmickey]

I'm here for the case and I don't get bored easy, so here's my take: this was plain, like vanilla ice cream or maybe fresh water. Relatively slow but not bothersome. Not monotone but not rousing. It's a good review, all the facts and you do express what the case does for you, which helps. Also, we're all holding back because it's a budget case, but if they send an amazing case back from the Future and you're not hyped, then it's a bit weird. It's a good review but I guess if people want more entertainment I can understand. Anyway... fan mounts on the PSU shroud! If it helps thermals enough hopefully more cases try that. Either way this could easily be a top 3 budget case to send back 10 years in a time machine.

[@jw8361]

I have the mini version of this case and I was thinking of putting fans on the front of the case I wanted to know how effective they are as there is a front pannel

[@user-fo3hb7hq9q]

I have a question. So I just recently lost the top layer part of where the graphics card is supposed to go, like the thing that you take off before you install the graphics card. What do I do, does it matter? I’m really worried it might like being in more dust in or something lol

[@swrillkitty5617]

It should be fine, if anything its letting a bit more air in. but just when airing out your pc make sure to get the graphics card
