Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| Aerocool's Dead Silence is a sleek little case, which is available in different colors. Unlike what you might think, it isn't a small case at all, and with the right precautions, you should be able to install high-end video cards. The build quality is pretty good and the materials are pleasant to the touch. The bundle is adequate too. | - Bundle - Price - Colors | ||
| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| The Dead Silence is made of SGCC and ABS where as the basic structure got painted black and and the plastic panels are available in different colors. Although the side panels are quite light and thin, which is never a good sign, we did not observe stability issues with this case. Apart from that there are no sharp edges at all. As for the mounting, we found some problems during the installation of longer graphics cards as well as with the power supply. These issues are related to proper cable routing and stem from the simple fact, that in there isn't too much space in this case. Although it is mentioned that the maximum length for PSUs is 160 milliemter, this makes for a rather tight fit. | - Build quality - Tool-less - Soft Touch | - PSU space - GPU space | |
| Design | + | - | |
| The design is always a subjective aspect, however, we believe that, with the DS Cube, Aerocool managed to get a sophisticated design created for those who seek silence but are also willing to have a good internal cooling. As mentioned in the previous pages, the space inside the Dead Silence Cube is sufficient but at the same time there is not too much space. We particularly enjoyed the upper zone dedicated to the installation of radiators and heatsinks, since it offers plenty of room for both. Regarding cooling, the bundle includes a 200mm and a 120 mm fan which are pre-installed with the case and there is space for additional two 120mm fans at the top. | - Design - Water cooling solutions |

| Recommendation | + | - | |
| If you are looking for a small case, which is compatible with mATX motherboards and lets you build rather powerful gaming systems, then the Dead Silence from Aerocool should be considered. On Geizhals.eu, the Aerocool Dead Silence Cube is listed with prices starting at 62 euro excluding shipping costs. In our opinion this price is definitely reasonable. | -
