TestFreaks and Tweaknews have posted reviews of the AeroCool AeroRacer Pro PC case.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • TestFreaks:

    "The AeroCool AeroRacer Pro could be a great case for overclockers looking for good airflow, this thing will give you a huge amount of it.

    The AeroRacer is well made, and there’s a lot of room in it as well for most any system.

    The lack of intake and exhaust fans is something that doesn’t matter too much when considering the performance without them.

    This case comes in at a little over $100, which I think is a bit much really, the only real feature is the 40cm fan, other than that the case offers not much else to deserve such a high price tag. You can easily get a comparable case for about half price, just without the 40cm fan on the side."

  • Tweaknews:

    "AeroCool's AeroRacer Pro turned out to be a mixed bag. I like the exterior finish treatment and the overall look of the case. The cooling performance was very good although I think a few minor tweaks could enhance the airflow while reducing audible noise. I even like the large power button with its chrome bezel and blue backlighting, but the “ENGINE START” business seems a bit gratuitous to me.

    The trouble really starts when we get inside the AeroRacer Pro. The thin steel construction and stamped expansion bays don't do much for me, and the case is a bit flimsy without the side panels to give it some stiffness. The expansion bays don't quite line up, the tool-free card retention mechanism is problematic and the entire back panel is easily distorted when breaking out the I/O shield blank."

Aside from the huge freakin' fan, there is not much that is noteworthy about this case.
