You get a number of clues about the Aerocool Dead Silence DS200 just from reading the name. This is a mid-tower ATX case that promises your new gaming PC build will be very quiet. I know the name says ‘Dead Silent' but the marketing material actually refers to Super Silent. Yes those are capital letters and yes that is a bold claim that we will examine during this review.
The Aerocool brand name makes it a safe bet they haven't forgotten about cooling and to that end the DS200 comes with a 140mm fan at the front and 120mm fan at the rear.
We were initially told that the price of the Aerocool Dead Silence DS200 would be £80+, putting it up directly against the likes of the excellent Phanteks Enthoo Pro. Just before going to press today however, Aerocool us that the price will be set at £74.99 in the United Kingdom – which on paper makes it appear very competitive indeed.

How can a review littered with so many negatives, especially important ones like cramped conditions, mediocre cooling and lack of cable space be awarded a must have award. I mean I know its plastered all over the main page but I really think without the advertising this would have scraped a worth having at the most. Just my thoughts, review was great as always.
I think Levisevis that the price is the reason it scores high, its pretty cheap considering what you get, so the negative points can be overlooked a bit. I do know what you mean though. I hope advertising doesn’t affect scores here, but I can see the selling points on the earlier pages which really do look quite good to me.
Excellent review guys 🙂 for excellent product 🙂
