Aqirys Aquilla Case

Darksaber · Mar 7, 2022

The Aqirys Aquilla aims to woo the potential buyer with an impressive list of features while keeping an affordable price point. With its four 140 mm fans, solid material mix, and remote-controlled fan/ARGB controller, there is a lot to like about the case on paper, which had us excited to take a closer look!

If the Corsair 4000D Airflow and the Montech Air X decided to have a baby...

I'm not a big fan of this trend of using fancy front panel designs that appear porous but actually aren't on closer inspection. It's hard to eyeball, but I'd guess at least 60% of that front panel is solid material. And yet the slits are large enough that dust is allowed to pass through anyway, which necessitates a separate extra dust filter. So you have a high-impedance front panel in front of a dust filter, never a good combination. This isn't the worst example of this I've seen (corsair's 220T "Airflow" comes to mind), but I'd still rather see a more open front panel design.

This case also proves that most airflow challenges can simply be overcome with moar fans though. Having 4x140mm fans in its stock configuration is what keeps it competitive in these comparative benchmarks. So I guess it's hard to argue with the results.

A metal mesh with 1mm holes isnt a dust filter.

In my view an excellent case and effort for the man on the street. Budget-minded and priced just right. Thank you Aqirys for the timely competition with almost identical look-alike enclosures from Corsair 4000D, Phanteks Mesh, Cooler Master, etc. In the old days we all were worried about having to spend more RGB money on fans versus what the actual case was worth. With the Aqirys I can wait a few years and then purchase name brand fans if wanted or having the extra cash in my pocket. I also love the Aqirys case which now affords me in spending 'new-build cash' right away on functional hardware components instead. I am sure the Aqirys will ultimately find its way to the USA and I can grab one at the local computer show for around $75. I now wish that someone would finally step up to the bar and give NVIDIA some real competition in the same vein and manner. Sure as hell we deserve it by now!
