Aerocool JetMaster Jr. ATX Mid-Tower Case

The JetMaster Case Inside and Out:

The jet turbine on the front of the case makes it look like it is ready to take right off the desk! The shape of the jet turbine air duct, and the low restriction recessed fan grill are perfect for maximizing airflow. The front door swings open to reveal 4 x 5.25" and 2 x 3.5" drive bays, and the power & reset buttons. The rear of the case is your standard layout, the rear fan grills can fit 2 x 80mm or 1 x 120mm fan, also the PSU bracket has two sets of mounting holes to ensure the PSU is oriented correctly. The cable running out the very bottom bracket is for the front Firewire connection, the cable runs out the back and plugs into a rear Firewire port on your motherboard. This is actually a smarter approach since not all motherboards have internal Firewire headers.

The side of the case has a large acrylic panel w/80mm fan, and louvers along the top and bottom for extra ventilation. The side panel is removed via two thumb screws, and a nifty handle on the back helps free the panel and gives the user something to hold on to. Inside the case there is ample room to fit a full sized ATX motherboard, along with plenty of hard drives and other accessories. One thing I personally like about this case is that it does not use drive rails! All the holes are pre-drilled in the proper locations for mounting all the common drive types. There are 6 x 3.5" internal bays available, which are directly behind the front 120mm fan.

The bottom left corner of the case has holes drilled into it for easier access to the screws that hold down the PCI cards. Also pictures are the connectors for the front USB ports, audio ports, and standard front panel connections. The second picture is looking inside the case towards the front 120mm fan. Cooling can be changed up by mounting either a 120mm fan or 4 x 80mm fans on the metal frame. The included 120mm fan is mounted on the plastic front bezel. The front I/O ports are located on the right side of the case and include 2 x USB, 1 x Firewire, headphone & micrphone jacks. The dial above the ports is not a volume control but actually a mini fan controller! How sweet is that?

Installing a system in the case was fairly quick and easy. All the corners are rounded off to prevent cutting cables (or your hands). The 80mm fan on the side panel gives off a nice blue glow, and the custom fan guard tops off the look. The front "jet turbine" glows blue from the LEDs embedded in the 120mm fan, and the center cap glows red. It would of been nice to have the power LED a matching blue too instead of the traditional green, but that can easily be swapped out.
