Alright, first off, let me run this by you—less than 80 euros, four fans included, six USB ports, can handle all the water-cooling you can throw at it, and offers cheap expandability if need be. That sounds too good to be true? Well, not anymore. The SilentiumPC X90 is not just a sexy case in the eyes of this editor, with its clean and sleek looks. It is also a very potent chassis which may not try to re-invent the wheel, but combines a feature set that rivals those of the big players at a much lower price. It is no secret that the Aquarius X90 is geared toward the liquid-cooling user, as its name already implies, but even air-cooling fans should find this chassis quite interesting as it ships with four fans right out of the box, and hardly any cases nowadays offers six USB ports. Sure, most won't need it, but those who do will love the X90 for it. Sure, the build quality is not as great as with some of the bigger names out there, but it is good enough to take on anyone in the same price category. Any way you look at the Aquarius X90, it is sleek, it is sexy, it has a great feature set, and it clocks in at less than 100 US dollars, which makes it easy to look past some small issues when securing its dust filters.
