AeroCool Also Announces the Unique GT-RS Chassis
In addition to the Cyclops Advance Black, AeroCool announced availability of two other cases this week, beginning with the GT-RS. It may come across as a cube-shaped micro-ATX or even a mini-ITX case, but is actually a cleverly designed ATX compact tower. Measuring 236 mm x 353 mm x 320 mm (WxDxH), the case seats a standard ATX motherboard upside down (BTX-style), but uses its width to accommodate PSU and drive bays along the plane of the motherboard. There's still room for standard-height graphics cards.
The case is split vertically in the middle, with its left-side compartment holding the drive bays: one each of exposed 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch; two discrete 3.5-inch, and 2.5-inch, each. There's room for CPU coolers as tall as 121 mm, and graphics cards as long as 300 mm. Ventilation includes two 120 mm front intakes, a red LED-lit 120 mm fan is included, and which can hold on to a 240 x 120 mm radiator; a 120 mm bottom intake, a 120 mm top exhaust, and an 80 mm rear exhaust. Front panel connectivity includes two USB 3.0 ports (standard header), two USB 2.0/1.1 ports (standard header), and HDA audio jacks. Expect a sub-$100 pricing.

This is a very nice design, but really, ports and switches
topside are just ( seriously UNNEEDED ) dust magnets.
May I suggest all case makers consider some other option
to making cases with ports, switches and even fans on
top???
Now that I've vented on that topic, can I make a suggestion,
... make cases with standard 140mm fans... please...
ie....Seperate (thermal) chambers for main hardware & psu/drives on the other side....
ie....Corsair Carbide Air 540...meh :D
