Aerocool LS5200 Mid Tower Case Designed for Watercooling - Black

really good case for the price!very well made and feels solid once put together, videos online make it seem like its cheapo plastic made and low quality. but its solid as a rock, no rattles no loosely kept together parts. pretty happy actually.this dose support a 360mm radiator BUT only in push. NOT push pull, youy can however have push pull using 5 fan.i have no used the fan control so can not make a honest opinion, but it seems sturdy. (well made no loose buttons etc)The power button seems sort of.. loose? it can twist from left to right...the filters are good and tight. everydayi have to rub the dust from the front of mine due to the intake fans being there..however this was the only case below £100/150 that supports a 360mm radiator I can find.This is not the most flashy of cases. but if smart well made function is what you need, this case is for you.

To summarise everything in one sentence: A good, reasonably priced, middle-of-the-road case that will go with any colour scheme, fits most med-large sized components while keeping them cool, but suffers from limited room for cable management so I recommend a modular PSU and as few storage devices as possiblePurchased this as a replacement for my Thermaltake C22 I got for my new rig I built at xmas because my 6600k clocked at 4GHz and my stock GTX 970 were struggling to stay below 78°C under load and had idles of high forties to mid fifties. I bit the bullet, presumed my case was the issue and thankfully i was right. I had a lot of very specific requirements and most mid-range cases didn't seem to have what I needed and those that fell into the price range and aesthetic I was looking for were unavailable for immediate purchase and prime delivery. (I get very impatient when it comes to my PC, don't judge.) But the LS5200 case hit every single requirement I had and came with the odd one or two extra features that I probably won't be able to ever go without now I have them. It does have two flaws that could have ruined the deal for me. Thankfully it didn't, so this case will sit proudly on my desk till I finally lose the plot and go all out on full custom loop water cooling.Pros:- Breezy, filtered ventilation on the front panel that holds upto three 120mm fans.- Easy-access removable PSU dust filter.- Filtered ventilation for exhaust with room for upto 120mm or 140mm fans along the top with adjustable positioning. (You can have a 120mm fan centralised down the middle of the top or have it closer to the side panel-side of the chassis for example.)- Room for a potential 240/280mm radiator in the future.- Clearance for just about any tower cooler at about 170mm. (Currently using an Arctic Freezer i32 with room to fit my flat hand between the copper nubs and the sidepanel. Would easily fit the holy Coolermaster Hyper 212.)- A power supply basement to hide ugly cable management.- A pair of 2.5" SSD or Hard Drive mounting brackets on top of the basement to put them on display.- A pair of 2.5" SSD or Hard Drive mounting brackets on the rear side to keep them hidden.- Three 3.5" Hard Drive tool-less mounting brackets beneath the basement cover.- Will fit a full sized ATX motherboard with the lowest expansion bay still given enough room.- Comes with 3 120mm fans, (one black at the rear and two red in the front by default.) They're decent enough. Definitely not the worst.- Mostly-metal construction. The front panel, the top panel and feet are plastic.- Top and front panels are easy to remove. They still have those squeezy-peg-things that a lot of chassis have but this can't won't require you to invest in new finger tips or resort to squeezing with pliers just to pop them off for fan installation.However, there are a few cons that haven't hindered my overall love for the case, but it did make me wish for a few changes.Cons:Lets start with the picky, nitty gritty stuff:- The front I/O panel is probably standard with 1 USB 3.0 port, 2 USB 2.0 Ports, Separate Audio/Mic inputs and two fan controls but another USB 3.0 port would have been desirable.- The power button is very mushy with a lot of wobble to it. Not much of a problem but its enough for me to fear that it might break, get stuck or buckle if it's jabbed with enough force at a slight angle. I guess time will tell.- Those god awful ketchup and mustard coloured cables from all three included fans and the front panel I/O connections that ruin the aesthetic of any build that isn't red or yellow.- Might require you to adjust front panel fans if you have them installed and have a 3-fan GPU.- The fan control on the front feels as structurally flimsy as the power button, doesn't have any markings to show you which position does what.All of the above is picky stuff. Things only someone hellbent on aesthetics and a big, dumb heavy hand would be affected by. The next two issues however might be potential deal breakers for some:- My second biggest gripe is the amount of clearance for a 360mm AIO liquid cooler on the front panel. There isn't really any. Length-wise there's plenty but you would have to have very low profile 120mm fans and an equally low profile heat sink for it to fit down into the basement unless you want to risk getting crafty and cutting a larger clearance. A 240mm or a 280mm radiator will certainly fit on either the front or top though and you're probably not looking to put a £150+ cpu cooler in a £50 case anyway.- And finally my biggest problem with this case. The one thing that's probably holding it back from getting a full 5 star: The amount of room beneath the basement shroud is absolutely tiny. Thankfully i have a modular Power Supply Unit so I only use one of each type of cable, but if you have many drives or a lot of molex-powered peripherals and accessories I would say be prepared to get creative cable management or a cutting tool.

Bought this for £50 free shipping, Not sure why it keeps changing in price which is a put off.. Fits 240mm Rads for cooling & is built well.. Plenty of space & gets plenty of air.. If you can pick this up for around the same price its well worth it..

Best value for money case. Spacious interior with neat appearance! Definitely must buy it.

Very nice and large PC case.It looks great, only one fan in the back.Has 4 spots for ssd's and 3 places for HDD.Not too bad for €60 ish euro.I uploaded a review to youtube,, just look for Emerald Isle PC's channel

No problems with it, looks beautiful and very spacious. Very good cooling too!

great case for anybody seems to fit everything

Great case. Only downside is one of the LED Fans lights have stopped working but the fan still spins.
