The Aerocool Tor aims to offer an interesting mix of materials, some cool lighting, and a price tag that makes it interesting to the lower mid-range market. It does deliver on that promise as you get glass panels, three fans right out of the box, and cool RGB effects with a remote control at a sub-US$70 price tag.

Additionally, you are able to install more fans or upgrade to liquid cooling easily because of the vents in the front and top of the chassis. Aerocool has also managed to include a magnetic dust filter on top and a metal shroud in the interior. Considering the Aerocool Tor also allows for both long GPUs and large CPU coolers, it checks off all the boxes.

On the flip-side, Aerocool had to make a few compromises to be able to afford such a price tag by opting for a case frame that is trying to hide some entry-level elements underneath that cool mid-range feature set. The biggest issue for some may be the tight PSU bay as things were already iffy with the compact Antec unit—this is probably the biggest thing you want to watch out for. On top of that is the somewhat outdated I/O with two USB 2.0, but only a single USB 3.0 port. We can say that USB 3.0 has now established itself with even more affordable motherboards, and a case should reflect that change. Last but not least, the frame feels a bit simple and thin in places, which could be a source of disappointment for buyers as Aerocool does an excellent job of marketing this case to the mid-range market.

However, circling back to its affordable price, these issues don't carry nearly as much weight as they would if the Tor were priced $20–$30 higher. Keeping that in mind, the Aerocool Tor is actually quite the cool chassis for those looking to spruce things up with plenty of bang for your buck.
