Introduction
I would like to thank
Xigmatek for supplying the review sample.
The Xigmatek Aquila is one of many cube cases on the market with the ability to hold a mATX board and fully sized components in as little room as possible. While it may not be the smallest chassis out there, its look is truly timeless as other manufacturers, like Aerocool or DeepCool, have approached the same enclosure in a much more elaborate, specialized way.

Packaging
The Xigmatek Aquila ships in a fully color cardboard box, with an image of the chassis and some text on the front. Turning the package over, you will find additional pictures which point out the enclosure's features. One small side panel details the two different color options and which configuration can be found within, while the other panel lists the Aquila's specifications in multiple languages.
Two Styrofoam spacers hold the chassis in place nicely, and a plastic bag has been applied to keep scratches and fingerprints away.
