The Raijintek Aeneas is one of the larger mATX cube cases out there. While many other brands offer smaller variants for such boards, the Aeneas manages to give users the best of both worlds when it comes to size and compatibility. This is where the Aeneas manages to score big, allowing CPU coolers of up to 180mm in height and long GPUs without having to sacrifice any cooling in front. That said, the enclosure is clearly aimed at air-cooling users, though it still allows for radiators if you sacrifice the optical drive bay in the process.

Overall, the Raijintek Aeneas is easy to assemble and comes with some nice functionality while also sporting a few visual elements, like the blue LED lighting elements you may toggle on or off with the button at the top. With the choice between a windowed and solid chassis and white or black, the Aeneas is a great albeit somewhat large chassis capable of impressing with its very good price-to-performance ratio and solid build quality.
