Xigmatek Aquila

Darksaber · Jul 27, 2014

The Xigmatek Aquila aims to become the compact cube chassis for a mATX board while delivering good quality and timeless looks. Will it manage to float the price / performance boat, or does it end up capsizing by leaning out to far into one direction?

Not for people who straighten picture frames hanging on walls.

Very unimpressive case in all respects.

I like the looks (and I don't even mind the window for some reason), but it's too expensive.

"Micro-ATX in a fairly compact chassis" - this is false! it should be to negatives as "a bit too large for Micro-ATX, the bulk is on pair with normal ATX cases ". 40 liters for M-ATX is twice as much as core 1000 or Sugo sg10/9... just because it is m-ATX does not make it compact... and if it is not compact and limits one just to M-ATX - it is definitely a drawback

and not an advantage
