Aerocool has chosen a very specific path by offering the Strike-X Advance chassis at a very competitive price point, with four LED equipped fans and fairly elaborate looks and red interior. To do so, you will have to turn a blind eye in terms of quality and cannot expect to see any true innovation within the case.
The Aerocool Strike-X Advance is clearly to be used as a basis of a budget gaming rig. This is further underlined by the fact, that the chassis barely holds 295 mm graphics cards which will blocks multiple HDD bays. Another confusing aspect are the two individual USB connectors, but Aerocool has told me, that the newest revision of the chassis should have an internal USB 3.0 header. Interested buyers should ensure that their case is up to date in this regard.
The biggest downside is probably the overall quality which feels a bit crude at times, but all in all, the X-Strike Advance offers the mix of cool looks, basic functionality and good cooling out of the box. This makes it a good alternative for those on a tight budget, wanting a spiffy looking gaming enclosure.
