This review is from: AeroCool V-Touch Pro with 400mm fan and Touch sensor Temp/Fan controller (Personal Computers)

My son and I rebuilt his old computer into this new case, and we are very impressed with it! The 400mm fan is extremely quiet and pushes a lot of air. Now, my son can do his college work and fall asleep if he needs to for short periods of time during those "all-nighters." Before, his case was very noisy, and his young ears picked up the higher frequency of smaller fans, affecting him as a dog whistle might affect a dog. The fan works well and is not flimsy at all--as I thought it might be--because it is reinforced all the way around at several places equidistant from the center. I will call those reinforcements "circumferential rings."

We added a "SilverStone Case Fan with 120mm 9 blades 26.6 Db FN121 (A)" to the back of the case to help exhaust hot air. I believe that adding this fan to the case is sufficient for all of the situations that my son will encounter using this case, including playing games. We have had this computer running now for a couple of months, and the combination of both fans has never been audible to me even when I get right near the case. However, my son has yet to have time to actually stress the graphics card with a gaming session. It is possible that in such a situation, the noise level will go up if the SilverStone has to kick up in speed and the graphics card fan speeds up. We only have an MSI R4890 ATI graphics card in there, so it doesn't have the capability to really heat up the case. But if it did, the noise level doesn't really matter during intense gaming sessions of Left For Dead 2. Those zombies, chain saws, etc. make a lot more noise than computer fans can make.

The case is sturdily built and easy to use. We especially like the front-panel display, which is a touch-screen. It is used to turn on and reset the computer and also controls the displayed output of three temperature probes (the probes are also included with the case). I never really got into measuring the temps of cases, but if you want to, this has the capability already built in. You can set the probes to display in degrees C or F, and set an alarm level if any of the temps get too high. The case just looks cool sitting there with the panel slightly glowing in yellow, red and blue. When you touch the panel it glows brighter and is very responsive.

The drawbacks are very minor: 1)The tape provided to adhere the temperature probes to various places in the case is totally useless for such things as graphics card heat sinks and other irregular surfaces. Be prepared to fashion a better solution if you really want to measure the temps. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the temperature measurements either. 2)The touch screen is at the bottom of the case, so if your case sits on the floor like ours does, then you have to reach pretty far down to use it. Most cases have their buttons toward the top. 3)This is a mid-tower case, so it doesn't have the room of a full-tower case inside. It also doesn't take the space of a full-tower case on the outside either!

I have built many, many computers in the last 20 years, so I think that I can speak with just a tiny bit of authority when I say that this is a pretty nice case.
