Aerocool's Cylon Mini in Detail
The exterior of the
Cylon Mini from Aerocool is striking with its slim profile, elegance is the watchword in this case. Even the
acrylic glass side helps lend the mini case a premium look while affording users an unobstructed view of their installed hardware. If additional airflow is required, the case supports up to three fans, an 80 mm fan in the rear comes included from Aerocool. The black front panel comes with a stylish plastic stripe in the shape of a backslash which is then illuminated by RGB-LEDs. Users have
a total of 13 different lighting modes to choose from. A switch located to the chamfered side of the case's front allows users to switch between different effects and colours.
The I/O panel is located on the top of the case and includes, besides power- and reset buttons, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports. Two 3,5 mm jacks are included for HD Audio and microphones.
In order to keep the interior of the case supplied with fresh air, two 120 mm fans can be installed behind the front. Aerocool has installed an 80 mm fan in the rear to help exhaust warm air from the case. This can also be swapped out for a 90 mm model if preferred. The case supports
GPUs up to 300 mm long, while CPU coolers can be up to 147 mm tall.
In addition to
two 3,5" bays, users also have the option of installing 2,5" drives near the ATX-format PSU. The drive cage supports
three additional 2,5" SSDs or hard drives while the reverse of the motherboard tray provides even more options. Micro-ATX- and Mini-ITX format boards are compatible. In order to protect the case from dust, Aerocool has thoughtfully included
removable dust filters in the roof and base of the case.
