AeroCool Playa Slim

Advantages: Cable management is possible. The inner edges of the case are well finished. 13 RGB lighting modes.

Disadvantages: The 5.25 "compartment cover is glossy, although the entire case is matte. The standard case fan is loud enough (1600 rpm). The fans (both the top and the bottom) are attached to the case with only two screws. You cannot turn off the backlight from the button, you will have to climb into body.

Comment: In general, I liked the AeroCool Playa Slim case and was satisfied with the purchase, but there are little things that spoil the overall impression, but they cannot be called shortcomings, for example, the case itself could be more compact (8 centimeters shorter), and the thickness of the walls - more (at least 0 , 8 mm), there are no cable ties included (for cable management) and the bolts for the SSD go 1 mm longer, because of this the SSD dangles, we had to look for other bolts.

Advantages: 1) really beautiful design 2) the backlight pleased, you can use it as a night light) 3) ease of assembly everything is instinctively simple

Disadvantages: 1) the material is not to say that it is quite thin, but they could have made it 1-2 mm thicker 2) there is no manual in Russian, if I had not found on the forum how the backlight turns off and on, not the fact that I would have figured it out myself (hold down on 2- 4sec on and off the same way) 3) the regular fan is a little noisy 4) MAIN DISADVANTAGE !!! if you assemble a less expensive assembly like me, then you have a choice of either a compartment for 3.5 disks + a drive or a good power supply unit with removable cables (I generally keep quiet about SFX L, it will not fit in that case) in my case THERMALTAKE Toughpower SFX fit, BUT I had to sacrifice a basket since otherwise it rested on the wire latches (the basket is on 4 rivets, it's not a problem to drill) 5) only low-profile video cards in the Russian Federation will fit in it, the best you will find 4 gig Asus 1050ti LP (you can order 6 gig 1060)

Comment: it's worth taking. BUT take a motherboard with support for M2 SSD disks and you can put a 2.5 disk with a second disk, it is not attached to the basket, but next to it (you can put a 3.5 disk in mine, but I did not have it, I did not try it) assembled a good assembly of the msi h310m gaming motherboard in this case plis i5 8400 6 cores frequency 2.8 2 strips of 8 GB PSU for 450V M2 SSD for 240GB 2.5 SSD for 500GB vidyuha 1050ti 4 GB in principle satisfied

Advantages: - Simple and concise design. At the same time, it looks like a game console, which compares favorably with most slim desktop solutions. - RGB-backlighting is very appropriate. It looks unusual, especially for such a budget case. - Acceptable quality of finish and workmanship inside and out. There are no sharp corners and edges that cause scratches and cuts when assembling the computer. - I was pleased with the possibility of quite accurate cable management. All cables are gone behind the wall, only the necessary connections are removed from the interbody space. After assembly, the inside is neat and nothing extra sticks out. - Can be installed both vertically and horizontally. It will look good and appropriate both on a table with a monitor and as an NTRC under the TV. - Not bad (for an inexpensive case) delivery package. I was especially pleased with the presence of a USB 2.0 -USB 3.0 adapter, a speaker, and even such a convenient trifle as a rack tightener. Stands for vertical installation with vibration-damping rubber inserts. Soft rubber feet for horizontal installation. - Good ventilation and airflow in a relatively cramped case. Two mounting points for 80 mm case fans, one is already included in the kit. As a result, you can place rather powerful iron without fear of overheating. - You can install at least three SSDs and / or hard drives. For such a compact case, this is very good. And if you use the DVD compartment, then even more, as needed.

Disadvantages: - No air filters. I had to cut it out of a thin mesh and set it myself. - Thin and rather soft metal of the walls. - The backlight is not switched off with the button. - There are no rubber, or at least cardboard washers in the fasteners, no cable ties. - Noisy standard case cooler. Replaced with 4pin Aerocool F8, put the same for blowing. Both of them generate less noise than one regular one.

Comment: For this money, there are no critical shortcomings. But there is an opportunity to build a quiet, but very vigorous and nimble, and nice looking PC. What happened: - Power supply unit 450W SFX Chieftec SX-450BS. - ASUS H81M-Plus. - Intel Core i5-4570. - 8Gb (2x4Gb) DDR3-1600. - 120Gb SSD + 2Tb HDD. - DVD-RW. - Low profile ASUS GTX 1050Ti OC. I'm happy with the result. I recommend this case for the purchase of a compact and solid multimedia and gaming (entry-level) PC.
