On Figure 4 you can see the front panel from AeroRacer Pro and, on Figure 5, the front panel with the door opened. As you can see the paint used is very shiny, giving a very nice aspect to this case. AeroCool printed “Engine Start” on the power switch to make it look like a sports car.

On Figure 5 you can see the four external 5 ¼” bays present on this case. As you can see, this case has a separated external 3 ½” bay for floppy disk drives, which can also be used internally by a hard disk drive if you don’t have a floppy disk drive.

Finally we have the rear panel on Figure 6. It uses the traditional ATX layout, adding however a space for installing a 120-mm fan, which doesn’t come with the case. It also has a place for you to install a serial port connector. You see, several motherboards are not coming with serial ports anymore. Some have the serial port, but it is only available on an external bracket and not on the rear panel. This bracket will of course take up one of the expansion slots on the back of the case. On this case, however, you can remove the D-sub connector from the bracket and install it on the available hole for this connector (located between the place for the 120-mm fan and the top expansion slot), so it won’t use one of the expansion slots. This idea isn’t new: old AT cases used this scheme, but it’s been many years since we’ve last seen a case having this option.

Let’s now see how AeroRacer Pro looks like inside.
