Introduction:

The 3d Aurora, one of Gigabytes newest high-end aluminum cases. It is a little bigger than your standard tower, with lots of room for all your goods. Since I follow news about new products fairly closely, I thought this case seemed to have more than the usual buzz about it. From the previews, it looked like a quality case, so I took the opportunity to check it out for myself and see what all the fuss is about. It turns out, there's a good reason for the buzz. It's a very good product.

Features:

  • Extended body for 10% more space

  • Best fit for NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800, no exceed than 12.5 inch

  • High-end brushed aluminum panel and body, ultra-light

  • Multi-functional window(steel mesh-vent; acrylic-transparent)

  • Enhanced strength rear plate with nickel coating

  • Dual security locks(front and side panel), protect value system hardware

  • Build-in one blue LED illumined silent intake fan with filter

  • Build-in two blue LED illumined silent exhaust fans

  • Support liquid cooling system with pre-modified dual tube outlets

  • Patent pending customized light beam projector

First Impressions:

   The packaging for the Gigabyte Aurora 570 chassis is both colorful and informative showcasing this unique chassis` features and benefits. There was some slight damage to the cardboard box thanks to the delivery service, however, no damage to the actual case inside thanks to the inner protection.

Since the case is almost entirely aluminum, with just a few bits of plastic on the front bezel, it is very light. Even though it is lighter than my Lian-li PC-V1000, it feels almost as strong. The finished is fairly standard brushed aluminum, and the unit I received has a high quality black finish.
