Overall the Aerocool GT-R Black Edition is a very capable, well priced chassis.

The build quality of the GT-R Black Edition is surprisingly high, considering the £50 price point. It is important to remember the cost when comparing directly against competitors such as Fractal Design and Corsair.

The Aerocool GT-R Black will easily withstand multiple rebuilds and rough handling. A large percentage of budget cases are made from extremely thin plastic which deforms and marks easily, even after only limited handling.

The design of the GT-R Black Edition is bound to split opinion. We feel gamers will like the aggressive panel design, but some people may want something a little less ‘in your face'.

Aerocool's latest releases have consistently performed well in our cooling tests and the GT-R Black Edition is no exception. The option to add an additional four fans certainly offers the enthusiast crowd enough flexibility to incorporate powerful processors and graphics cards.

Retailing for £51.58 inc vat, the GT-R Black Edition is approximately £10 cheaper than the Aerocool Strike-X Xtreme Black Edition. At this price point we feel the GT-R Black Edition offers excellent value for money.

Pros:

• Inexpensive.
• Great cooling performance.
• Good build quality.

Cons:

• Snap-off covers.

Kitguru says: A competitively priced case with plenty on offer for demanding users.
