Re: Xigmatek Aquila #4

Looks quite nice, but I don't like that the motherboard is not parallel to the ground. Looks kind of odd

Re: Xigmatek Aquila #9

I definitely prefer the one from Aerocool, but in this case, there really is a lot of plastic. I kind of don't like the concept of wrapping a case in a plastic bubble.

Same here, Aerocool is better imho.
