A Closer Look - Outside

The Aerocool Tor Pro is meant to be an understated case with RGB elements, and the design is spot on. If you are looking for the case equivalent of a white T-Shirt that lights up at night, the Tor Pro is size XL. The two glass panels are covered in a thin layer of plastic for added protection.


Looking at the front, you can clearly see the uniquely square RGB frames surrounding the three pre-installed fans. To access these, simply pull the front cover off. All the fans within the Tor Pro come with five leads—two for the the actual fan and three to control the addressable RGBs. In the rear, the chassis looks a lot more traditional. Interestingly enough, the metal frame of the Pro variant is excellent, being extremely sturdy unlike the Tor which feels a bit thinner overall. In terms of layout, the PSU is mounted in the top of the chassis, which is quite unique, giving you loads of space to work with internally—perfect for a chassis of this size.


The main side panel is made completely out of glass, but Aerocool has chosen not to put black framing on it, so the overall look is distracted from a bit by the mounting and tooling holes of the case frame. The opposing side panel is made out of steel and features a cool air vent on the very top to allow the top-mounted PSU to breathe fresh air.


There are eight expansion slots on the bottom of the Tor Pro, which are actually fairly deep into the case frame. You can install up to two 140 mm fans above these, or even opt for a 280 mm radiator if you like. Out of the box, you will find an aRGB-equipped 120 mm fan here, set to push air out the back of the case. Next to that is the 90° turned PSU bay with a single set of mounting holes, so you will always have the fan facing the metal side panel instead of the interior of the chassis.


The unique layout doesn't allow for any cooling in the ceiling, but considering the many other options, this is not a drawback at all. Unlike the Tor, the Pro features two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0, and a USB-C connector, besides the usual audio plugs. A set of power, reset, and RGB buttons rounds up this extensive set of I/O.


On the bottom, you will find a magnetic dust filter that covers additional mounting possibilities for fans or liquid cooling.
