Gigabyte 3D Aurora Case
Packaging and Bundle
Published: 5th November 2008 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £70.49 |
Packaging
The Gigabyte 3D Aurora comes packaged in a smart looking blue and black themed box. On the front of the box there is an extreme closeup of the prominant front part of the chassis. On the rear of the box, Gigabyte has included a number of text boxes with images highlighting the major features of the 3D Aurora.
On the left-hand side of the box there is an image illustrating both the silver and black versions of the Gigabyte 3D Aurora, and on the right-hand side there is a multi-lingual layout of the chassis specifications. Opening up the box, we are immediately greeted by the chassis manual sitting neatly encased in the polystyrene inserts. Upon removing the chassis from the box, we can see that it is well protected from impact and scratching, thanks to the inclusion of the styrofoam inserts and plastic bag.
Let's take a look at what Gigabyte has bundled in with the 3D Aurora, shall we...
Bundle
The bundle is actually housed within the Gigabyte 3D Aurora itself, but I've removed it so that we can see it. The black storage box below holds all the goodies nice and securely.
As well as the manual, Gigabyte has included the following:
2x 4-pin molex to SATA power cables
2x sets of keys
Motherboard stand-offs and screws
Tool-less HDD and 5.25" mounts
Spare screen for 3D feature
Sticky tabs for cable routing

Admittedly it's a small bundle, but Gigabyte has provided everything that you'll need to get up and running in no time. Let's head over the page to have a closer look at the Gigabyte 3D Aurora chassis in more detail...

Nice review, it's a good case but I still prefer my Aurora 570 Even though it is a tank and I want something smaller

Yeah it's a nice case and certainly worthy of a look if you're in the market for a new one. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the review
Nice review, good pics too.
I've had one of these for a couple of years now and I decided to give it a good clean out inside.
Does anyone know if you can change the front filter? Mine's a little dusty and I think it's impairing the air flow across the HDDs and into the system causing some minor over-heating issues...
It looks like you should be able to get it out, but the LED wires have been glued in (during manufacture I presume) and the glue overlaps the corner of the filter holding it in. Before I get all Stanley knife on it thought I might find out if anyone knows if it can be replaced.

Thank you mate for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Regarding the dust filter question: it most certainly should be able to be removed and cleaned. If the glue has managed to get on the corner of the dust filter then simply use a pen knife to gently remove it.
