AOpen A600 Aluminum ATX Case Review

AOpen has been building computer cases for as long as I can remember, in fact when I think of my very first non-generic case, the AOpen HQ08, I still get a warm feeling inside. AOpen puts as much time and effort into designing their cases as they do everything else in their diverse product line, so we've always had pretty positive experiences looking back. Consumers have become very aware of the temperature of their computer components; everything from the RAM in the motherboard to the videocard GPU, and of course the processor can effect how well a PC performs... especially an overclocked PC. As computers run pretty hot these days, many people have equipped their cases with large 80mm or 92mm fans to help keep ambient case temperatures cool by circulating more air, faster, through the case. Instead of applying that same theory to the A600, and introducing the often abundant level of 'whoosing' sounds that goes with it, the Aopen A600 uses just one single 120mm fan to do the job of many smaller fans.
