BitFenix AEGIS is an exciting watercooling-optimized mATX chassis that could become the next signature release from the company. It's vibrant color options may not suit everyone's pallet but we appreciate the different approach BitFenix has taken with this $119 case for a more traditional gaming appeal.

The addition of the BitFenix ICON 2.8? display on the front panel allows you to drag and drop a JPG file to customize the front face. As a concept it is fun and interesting, but requires further perfection as aside from showing images with limited viewing angles, no brightness control and poor colors, lacks any real applications. The source code is open for developers to tinker with what to display, but until we see a proper UI to roll out for temperature showcase or hardware usage etc, the BitFenix ICON will be nothing more than an idea waiting to prosper. Those not liking the ICON display can save some cash and look into the AEGIS Core model with a simple BitFenix logo embedded into the bottom portion of front panel.
