The Xigmatek Aquila does have two thing going for it: quality and a timeless look, which other companies that use the same body may not really manage to deliver on, and while everything is easily installed and you do get some great compatibility with larger GPUs and CPU coolers and the ability to install fans or a radiator into the Aquila's ceiling, other brands offer the same. Those other brands also tend to do so at a slightly lower price as their golden middle between functionality and space sacrificed fares better. The Aquila is missing a second fan, a more expansive I/O, and the 3.5" drive bay, which are all things they could have easily included. On top of that, though, Xigmatek has chosen to modify the top panel, eliminating the possibility to install fans without sacrificing the only external drive bay. Those are things you unfortunately cannot upgrade yourself, which makes putting the chassis above those by the competition difficult. We can only recommend the Aquila due to its better construction quality in Europe as the price difference between the Aquila and its competition is not very large. But, being much more expensive in the US, other—completely different—cube cases may be more interesting overall.
