Roundup @ X-Bit Labs
Zitat
The overall verdict is disappointing. The AeroCool Zero is in fact the only system case among the reviewed ones that can be really regarded as a top-class product, but its over-sophisticated design, which has no practical purpose today, may scare the potential customer away. When it comes to the ExtremEngine 3T and to the AeroEngine JR, there is nothing in them except for the exterior design. One needs to love this design to spend so much money for such an archaic and ascetic chassis.

The large 25cm fan increases noise, but only helps in cooling the South Bridge better. But you can cool that Bridge in a much quieter and simpler way. Such solutions may only be interesting for people who are assembling a system with passive heatsinks because Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors allow doing that. But don’t forget that this large fan works quietly only at a rather low speed. This should be enough for the above-mentioned CPUs, but may not for a top-end graphics card with a passive heatsink.

das aeroengine jr. hatte ich zuvor, so übel ist es nicht, allerdings kein vergleich mit der sr.-variante.
im übrigen mag ich persönlich sowieso keine miditower mehr, es fehlt einfach an platz, man hat schnell ein kabelwirrwarr und daher hat man auch messbar höhere temperaturen als in einem grösseren gehäuse.

abgesehen von funktionalität (vorhanden oder auch nicht) find ich diese turbinen einfach enorm häßlich!
