Introduction
I would like to thank
Aerocool for supplying the review sample.
Aerocool is known for creating entire case ranges with various color choices. The DS family is no different, and the cube variant on our test bench today isn't either, as you can have your pick of nine different colors. Aerocool actually dubbed these cases "Dead Silence", which suggests that their purpose is to quieten down a fully operational system quite significantly.

Packaging
Both of the cardboard box's larger panels feature the front of the chassis and some promotional text. You will also find a list of specifications in English on one and specifications in other language on the other side. One of its two slim sides is pretty much devoid of any information aside from a blue sticker to connote the color within to potential buyers and warehouse employees.
Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place nicely, while a plastic bag has been applied to keep scratches and fingerprints away.
