[section_title title=Closer Look – External]Ā Closer Look – External
Taking a look at the front of the box and the first thing I noticed was the image of the AGOS itself with its branding to the left of it in a 3D text. Across the top it lets us know it is a mid tower and part of their Genesis Chassis Series. Ā Under this we can see the Rainjintek logo and a nice list of features.
On the back of the box we have the Raijintek and AGOS branding again with another picture of the case, this time with the main side panel off giving us a little look inside. To the left of the image is a nice little paragraph explaining what Raijintek feel the case represents with a full specifications list below the case. In the bottom left hand corner there is also some contact information should the need arise for it.
Nothing much on the sides of the box, just a couple more images of the case and on one side it let’s us know if we have the normal AGOS or the white version, I of course have the white version for this review.
Included inside the box aside from the case are a few screws to help get everything installed, a POST speaker, some zipties and of course a user’s manual.
On the front of the AGOS one of the first things I noticed was the Raijintek “R” logo towards the bottom. On the top there are 3 x easily removable 5.25″ bay drives with the front IO panel being just to the left. The front IO panel includes power/reset buttons, 1 x USB2, 1 x USB 3 and a set of audio jacks (mic/headset).
Removing the front of the case reveals one of the included 120mm fans and a spot below it for another (not included). As you can also see the cables for the front IO are connected to the front panel so it’s best to be gentle and careful when removing it so as not to rip any of the cables out.
Taking a look at the side of the case and there is a vented side panel that will allow for 2 x 120mm or 140mm fans, a nice touch to help improve the airflow in the case.
Taking a look at the other side it is plain white as most would expect it to be.
From the back we can see one of the included 120mm fans, motherboard cutout, 7 x PCI expansion slots with 2 x water cooling holes next to them and to finish it off the cutout for the bottom mounted PSU.
The top of the AGOS is also vented allowing again for either 2 x 120mm or 140mm or a 240/280mm radiator could also be installed instead allowing for an all-in-one cooling setup or the start of a custom loop for water cooling.
Looking at the bottom we can see the feet have a nice height to them to help raise the PC off the floor to allow for better airflow. With better airflow though comes more dust, which is why Raijintek have of course included a bottom mounted dust filter to protect the power supply and prevent dust getting into the case if you decide to put an extra fan into the bottom of the case.
[…] I will be looking at one of their newest PC cases, the ARCADIA. Following on from the AGOSĀ I have previously done, it will be nice to see how the newer ARCADIA compares. The ARCADIA […]
