AeroCoolAeroEngine PC case BEACH SLIM Única Black

This is a good case if you want something small and neat for a front room. However there are some issues which overall make it harder to recommend.The front panel has a spring loaded panel for an optical drive. I think this case would be very hard to use with an optical drive because there is so little space inside, and the flap is a slightly different colour plastic. Also it is very flimsy, mine broke off very easily indeed which has left the front of the case in a bit of a state and the flap now doesn't fit properly. I'm probably going to return because of this. It's a shame because it's not really necessary and spoils the look of the case.Inside you can squeeze everything in well enough. The supplied case fan is very quiet which is good.The main problem though which isn't really a fault of the case is that it seems very difficult to find a power supply of the right size which is quiet enough. It needs a small PSU, either an SFX or micro ATX type - normal ones won't fit. The only one I could find at a reasonable price was a CIT one which is really noisy and the usual trick of replacing the fan is also difficult because it's all so small. You can get SFX power supplies which are silent but they are very expensive.So all in all it's a less than ideal solution - I'd suggest trying to find a small case which will take a standard PSU which will be much easier to run quietly. I'm also looking at alternatives to the power supply.So 3 stars from me - good idea, but let down a bit in execution. There is another Aerocool case (CS-101) which is the same chassis but a simpler front panel so I might try that one instead.

OMG this case was a nightmare, nothing sees to fit quiet right, got a seasonic SFX psu, while it fitted it seemed to be the wrong way around, even though it was right, to light up with fan holes, the cable crosses the back plate and only 'just' reaches the psu.Installing the gpu, oh what fun that is, only way I could figure out to fit this was to remove the bracket, talk about a WTF moment, there is a brace bar going across the back you can't remove so getting cards in is a total nightmare.I used a mATX board so couldn't install a fan on the left hand side boo, motherboard 12v cables wouldn't reach, had to use extenders.Just this whole build seemed to fight me all the way, it's all going to be a really tight fit and as for cable managements, well that's out the window.I wouldn't recommend this case, sorry, it's a shocker, I have plenty of years experiences of building PC's and this is one of the worst, and I built 486's in cases that nothing came apart in, back in the day.

This is the best case you can get right now if for some reason you are stuck with a mATX motherboard, but still want a somewhat slim build (AeroCool also has CS-101 actually, but this one is newer & better).You can only install low profile (half-height) PCI Express cards, but that was fine for me (GTX 1650 is fine for a lower end build).Build quality is solid, it seems better than you'd generally expect for £34. It's also very nice to have 2x USB 3.0 in the front.Overall the case seems like a very decent deal.A tribute to AeroCool customer service.After I finished my build, I had a problem with one of front panel USB's. Amazon offered a partial refund or a return, but I didn't want to redo the whole build, so I reached out directly to AeroCool. They were able to solve the issue within couple of days. Very nice.

Picked this up to make into a media center...idea as its looks good stood up or placed flat..comes with feet and stand to do both..this case it more for a very compact system...has space for cd drive if need be..comes with a nice led at front..when the button is pressed will change colour or have all the colour to go at once..nice feature this can be turned off and it does save which colour the case was set on. Quite easy to install the motherboard. No brackets as such for the hard drives but you can fit them with screws and it takes all types drives. Just remember as this is a small case you will need a smaller than normal power supply size and low profile card it you go down that route. Recommended. For me its all set up with kodi and my retro game and placed flat under my tv.

Really nice, simple but striking case, looks great on my TV unit and fits nicely into the gap I had to work with as well as having extra space for ventilation, USB ports on the front are good quality and the RGB lighting is simple and attractive as well as fairly easily adjustable, only complaint I have about this case is for some reason it didn’t include instructions in the box for layout internally which was a bit odd to work out for power supply installation, but once I figured that out then it’s been great. It looks sharp, was low cost and the inclusion of the vertical stand mounts in the box were helpful also. Would certainly recommend and would buy again for another build in the future. Overall rating I would say is 99/100 with the lack of instructions losing it a point.

If you want to use modular PSU and Blu-ray at the same time don't buy it. A nice value for money, well made for the price.

Very good
