Aerocool has delivered the goods with the Dead Silence DS200, making only a few minor compromises. On the one hand the DS200 is very quiet while on the other the cooling could be a little more effective. This seems like a sensible trade-off and I feel that Aerocool has delivered a PC case that will suit the mainstream customer.

I found the compact nature of the case could get a touch restrictive during the build stage. I would have loved to see more space behind the motherboard tray and perhaps another 10mm or 20mm at the top of the case above the CPU cooler. It is hard work to keep the cables tidy with this case, however you can achieve decent results with a bit of time and care.

Having said that I can forgive these minor quibbles as I simply love the colour options that Aerocool is offering. You are making a grave mistake if you buy the DS200 in black when you could choose blue, red, white, orange or green instead.

We don't have any store links yet for the Aerocool Dead Silence DS200 however we have been told before publication that the pricing will be £74.99 inc vat for the plain black version and £76.99 for the coloured versions. These coloured options are vibrant and attractive, and for only £2 more, it really is a no-brainer.

Pros:

• Superb looks, especially with coloured front and top panels.
• Very competitively priced.
• Impressively quiet.
• Tool free drive bays.
• capable performance.

Cons:

• Limited clearance behind the motherboard tray.
• It is hard work to make the PC build reasonably neat and tidy.
• You don't get a power supply shroud.
• The drive towers are fixed in place and cannot be removed.
• No SSD mount on the rear of the motherboard tray.

KitGuru says: A great mid-tower case that performs very well. We prefer the coloured versions and would opt for one of them before the plain black version. At £2 more it seems like a steal.
