Following the success of the original Aquarius concept, SilentiumPC decided to present a bit smaller model, the new Aquarius M60W. This understated chassis is all about minimalism and build quality. Targeted at hi-end workstations or gaming PCs it's made from incredibly rigid 0.8 mm steel and features a large side window for showing off the components.

Like it's bigger sibling the Aquarius M60W also offers extensive support for both AIO and custom watercooling systems. Up to three radiators can be installed including a whopping 360 mm variant in the front. Simplified internal layout improves airflow and aesthetics of the complete system. Specially formed cover next to the motherboard tray instantly hides all the cables making cable management easier than ever. Another metal cover on the bottom separates the PSU and HDDs from the rest of the components.



Extra width allows the Aquarius M60W to accommodate CPU coolers up to 175mm high and graphics cards up to 410 mm long. It also offers space for up to five SSD/HDD drives (3 × 3.5" and 2 × 2.5") as well as two 5.25" drive bays which are completely removable if required.

Superior airflow is ensured straight out of the box with 3 × 140mm pre-installed fans. Additional two 120/140mm ones can be installed up top. All the fans are connected through a 5-port hub to a front-mounted 3-step controller which allows setting airflow-noise level just right. Easy to remove and clean dust filters seal the front, top and bottom openings.

Highlights:
  • Minimalistic exterior and interior design
  • High quality construction with 0.8 mm steel
  • Simplified interior layout for greater airflow and stealth look
  • Enhanced cable management options with internal cable cover
  • Bottom chamber cover for PSU & HDDs
  • Extensive AIO & custom water cooling support
  • Supports graphics cards up to 410 mm long and CPU coolers up to 175 mm high
  • 3 × 140 mm fans pre-installed, total up to 5 × fans & fan controller included
  • Large window side panel

i remember when NZXT released this case as the S340. O_O pretty much the same thing, not that cases differ ALL that much, but this bad boy is REALLY close. minus the HDD and cable cover.

i was trying to find proof, you should really use the unfilled version of the case to compare, that diagonal cutout sure is a copy

don't forget the Aerocool Aero-800
a piece of plastic/metal shouldnt count at all, it's just a paradigm to hide psu cables, look how extremely different the rest of the case is (& i'm not even talking about exterior)
