A Closer Look - Inside

To access the interior, simply remove the thumbscrews holding each panel in place. Aerocool has equipped the Klaw with a shroud to cover the PSU bay. Unlike the Tor, there is no acrylic layer on it, though, which is fine considering you have three RGB-equipped fans and the fancy front lighting elements anyways.


On the backside of the motherboard, you will find several openings for cable routing, but no grommets to hide the wires completely. Aerocool placed two metal 2.5" trays alongside the fan/RGB control PCB here. Interestingly enough, you can not only control these elements with the remote and button on top of the chassis, but also the embedded buttons on the PCB itself.


In the front, you will find two 3.5" drive trays underneath the shroud. While the whole cage can't be removed, you should still have enough room here to install a thin 240 or 280 mm radiator as there are plenty of mounting possibilities.


The PSU bay underneath the shroud is pretty straightforward. Above it are the seven basic expansion slots, and the previously mentioned 120 mm fan with a ring of embedded RGB LEDs.


Looking at the ceiling, there are two additional LED-equipped fans, set to push air out the top for a total of three units within the Klaw.


All the cables within the Aerocool Klaw are of the default variety with the exception of a 3-pin fan header and RGB LED connector combo cable from the PCB. It will allow you to control the RGB and fans with your motherboard, which makes the proprietary 5-pin connectors of the RGB fans alright.
