GIGABYTE Rolls Out Aorus AC300 Glass Mid-tower Chassis

btarunr · Feb 4, 2019

GIGABYTE today updated its Aorus AC300 case with a new model featuring tempered glass panels and addressable-RGB LED lighting, and an updated front-panel. The new AC300 Glass, as its name suggests, dons a 4 mm-thick tempered-glass left side-panel, replacing the original's steel panel with acrylic window. The RGB LED embellishments of the case, such as Aorus logos on the front fascia and PSU compartment, and inserts along the front, now come with 3-pin addressable-RGB connectors, so you can control them with any aRGB LED control software, such as GIGABYTE RGB Fusion. For those without RGB motherboards, there's also a simple internal controller with a button on the front panel that toggles between lighting presets. The updated front-panel now features a USB 3.1 type-C port (standard header), in addition to a VR-Link HDMI port, two standard USB 3.1 type-A, and HDA audio jacks. The company didn't reveal pricing.

I dunno.. It's like an eagle with the tip of its wing folded over like it's making a fist.. And it does resemble a G..

My GFX is gigabyte and I have a 1"x1.5" case badge with this thing on it and I'm still uncertain of what it is.

I think it's supposed to double as an eagle with its mouth open, but also an eagle flexing his bicep... so it's like a gym bro hawk.

Other than having a USB-C port on the front I/O, I don't really see anything but anutha lame yawnfest here.......

Just about as boring as that so-called foozball thingy last nite

Based on it being on pretty much everything Gigabyte AORUS branded on sites like Newegg, guessing it is one of the logos associated with their AORUS line of stuffs. No idea of why they chose that for a logo.

I hate when there isn't effort put into product images, the PCI-E power cables are missing. And that ugly MADE IN CHINA on the back on the case.

Even less I get that what's ROG logo supposed to look. Looks more like an angry look to me.
