AeroCool Unveils the Klaw Mid-tower Case
Three vertical stripes of RGB LED diffusers resembling claw-marks give AeroCool's latest mid-tower its namesake, the Klaw. Measuring 228 mm x 461 mm x 445.5 mm, this rather wide-looking case serves up room for graphics card up to 37 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16.4 cm in height. Quite a lot of the extra width is spent in freeing up a 23 mm-wide crawlspace behind the motherboard tray. Inside, you get a conventional horizontally-partitioned layout, with the bottom half almost entirely enclosed. Storage areas include four 2.5-inch mounts, two on either sides of the motherboard tray; and two 3.5-inch drive bays in the bottom compartment that can each support 2.5-inch drives.
The lighting system of the AeroCool Klaw is 'smart,' in that the three RGB LED strips take in 3-pin addressable-RGB inputs, plugged into a LED controller board, which itself connects to your motherboard over 3-pin ARGB or 9-pin USB 2.0 headers. In the ARGB mode, you can use your motherboard's lighting control software to control these strips. Ventilation options include either three 120 mm or two 140 mm front intakes; two 140 mm or 120 mm top exhausts, and a 120 mm rear exhaust. Front panel connectivity includes two USB 2.0/1.1 ports, one USB 3.0 port, HDA jacks, and a button to cycle through presets of the LED controller. AeroCool didn't reveal pricing.

But yeah. Well done!
Perhaps not the other side panel..not sure, too difficult to tell.Nope, 2 full tempered glass side panels according to the site. (Aerocool Klaw)Bit of clearance on the side panels..
Painful! They literally added TG as an afterthought.
