AeroCool V3X Advance Devil Red Edition

The V3X Advance impresses with its stylish black front, featuring a robust mesh grille at the bottom and three glossy black 5.25-inch bays above it. Accordingly, the same number of optical drives can be installed inside. Crowned above the drive slots is an I/O panel with one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port, audio connections, status LEDs, as well as a power and reset button.

The tidy appearance is characterized by pleasant symmetry and clear lines. The left side panel includes two fan mounting spots in a slightly outwardly curved area, which can accommodate optional 120mm models. If these are not used, CPU coolers can reach a height of up to 170mm, which is remarkable for such a slim case, thanks in part to the bulge.

Another 120mm fan slot is located behind the mesh in the front, which in this Advance version is equipped with a red-lit fan, while a pre-installed 80mm fan at the back helps expel warm air. This efficient airflow cools the installed components. In addition to the maximum of three 5.25-inch drives, the Aerocool V3X Advance Black Edition can also accommodate up to four 3.5-inch hard drives and two 2.5-inch SSDs.

The interior is completely black, including the tray that supports ATX and Micro-ATX motherboards and features a large cutout for easy cooler replacement without removing the board. Additionally, there is the drive bay where hard drives are mounted conventionally and SSDs are sometimes attached from the side. The optional power supply is located at the top rear and actively contributes to warm air expulsion with its fan.
