Introduction

I would like to thank Raidmax for supplying the review sample.

With the announcement coming late last year of a new full size case, Raidmax has finalized their latest gaming chassis, the Aeolus. This gaming chassis weighs in as a formidable mid-size tower ready to flex its list of features and specs. Fresh from the last Raidmax case review, the Blackstorm, I'm excited to walk through this time and showcase another gaming chassis contestant.

Package and Contents

Raidmax has a nice design to the outer packaging. The front and back are both laid out with partial views of the case while listing the key features on the back side. The sides are identical and cover only the basics of the specifics.


Opening the box I peel back the top to reveal a nice and tightly packed case. It's well guarded with foam strips and custom lining. Under the foam is a plastic suit to help keep any marks or scratches to a minimum.

Contents

This case is sent off with the lightest pack of extras I've ever seen. A handful of screws in a small plastic bag make up the entire contents. At first I thought Raidmax was trying to pull a fast one on me by trying to hide something under a HDD bay, but none was found. Not even an instruction manual was included and when I searched their website I could not access the URL under the Aeolus's download section.
