BitFenix AEGIS Review

Exterior


At the front of AEGIS the panel is completely closed off – there are no 5.25” drive bays. This fascia is entirely plastic with a glossy finish, ICON version of this case comes with an LCD which allows the user to display a logo of their choice (more on this later). Running along the edge there are areas of ventilation for the front cooling fans (not included) to pull in cool air.

Around the back, there is an area at the bottom for mounting the PSU, five PCI expansion slot covers and a 120mm rear exhaust fan. At the very top there are two circular rubber grommets for tubing.


Up at the top there are a number of buttons and ports which include the following:

• Three-speed fan controller
• Large power button w/ BitFenix logo
• Reset button
• Two USB 3.0 ports
• Headphone and microphone jacks




The top panel is entirely plastic. Towards the middle of this fascia there is an indentation which contains a perforated mesh panel – this panel can be detached from the top to gain access to the mounting locations but the entire fascia can also be removed too. At the top, we can install 3x 120mm or 2x140mm cooling fans – none are included.


Flipping the case onto its side, we can see that the underneath section has four rubber feet to prevent the case from slipping around on smooth surfaces and there is a large detachable dust filter – this filter has magnetic points so that it can be easily attached/detached.
