Introduction
I would like to thank
Aerocool for supplying the review sample.
The Aerocool P7-C1 is quite the large and menacing chassis. Aerocool targets both high-end gamers and professionals with the "Project 7", as it is also called. The slogan of "Exploring the unknown" further adds to the mysterious, futuristic vibe they are going for. We received the black version of the chassis for review.

Packaging
The Aerocool P7-C1 ships in a black, fully colored cardboard box. On its front are a simply mention of "Project 7" and the tag line, while the back essentially teases the chassis alongside some text. Both sides are covered in information: one holds the same marketing paragraph in other languages, while the other has the specifications table.
There are two large foam spacers on the front and rear of the chassis. These are reinforced with cardboard sheets, and a plastic bag has been put over the case itself to protect it from scratches and fingerprints.
