AeroRacer Chassis Delivers Maximum Airflow with 400mm Fan

I’m one of the furthest things from being a ‘chassis guy’, but once in a while a news item will hit my inbox that actually makes me stop to look. When I saw the words “400mm side panel fan”… you bet I had to investigate. Such a chassis comes from a company called AeroCool, the model being AeroRacer. The chassis’ main benefit is of course to provide insane airflow, and with a fan like that, who would doubt it?

AeroRacer is undoubtedly one of the most unappealing-looking cases out there, but it’s not meant to be pretty. It’s meant to be functional, and cool the heck out of your components. The 400mm fan is so large, that it takes up almost the entire side panel, so while it should provide great airflow, it’s also sure to be a conversation starter as well.

Given that the fan itself is so large, you’d imagine that it’d be slow, and you’d be right. It runs at a constant 400RPM and is extremely quiet at 12 dBA. Despite the slow speed, it still manages to push air through the chassis at 250 CFM. So if you need the ultimate airflow scheme for your next chassis, look no further. I’m still debating on whether a standard chassis with an ordinary house fan would look better though…
