GameMax has launched the Aeris 330, a compact mini-tower PC case designed to appeal to users seeking a more subtle and practical design. With a growing demand for smaller PC builds, the Aeris 330 offers an affordable and less aggressive alternative to the company’s typically bold aesthetics.
Subtle design with customisable front panels
The Aeris 330 is available in both black and white colour options and comes in two distinct front panel configurations: tempered glass and mesh. This allows users to choose between a sleek, visually striking design or a performance-oriented airflow setup. While the case maintains a subdued look compared to other GameMax offerings, traces of the brand’s signature style remain visible. Vertical ARGB lighting strips are integrated into the front panel and can be seen through both the glass and mesh versions.
Compared to the CLAW 360 and T20 models, which prominently feature claw-like design elements and aggressive styling, the Aeris 330 takes a more reserved approach. Its design focuses on simplicity and function, catering to users who prefer a cleaner aesthetic without sacrificing visual flair altogether.
Solid hardware support and storage flexibility
Despite its compact size, the Aeris 330 offers commendable support for high-performance components. It accommodates graphics cards up to 330mm in length and CPU coolers with a height of up to 155mm. Power supply units (PSUs) of up to 160mm in length can also be fitted into the case.
Storage flexibility is another key strength of the Aeris 330. Depending on the user’s configuration, the case can house either three 3.5-inch hard drives and two 2.5-inch solid-state drives, or five 2.5-inch SSDs and a single 3.5-inch HDD. This level of storage capacity is impressive for a chassis in this size category and should meet the needs of most mainstream users.
The I/O panel features standard connectivity options, including one USB 2.0 Type-A port, one USB 3.0 Type-A port, and a USB 3.0 Type-C port. A combined audio jack for headphones and microphones is also included, though some may find the port selection slightly limited compared to more premium cases.
Cooling potential and pre-installed features
Thermal performance has not been overlooked. The Aeris 330 supports up to eight 120mm fans. Four 120mm ARGB fans are pre-installed with every unit, providing immediate airflow and lighting out of the box. For those interested in liquid cooling, the front of the case supports radiators up to 360mm in size, while the top panel can accommodate up to three 120mm fans or a 240mm radiator.
This makes the case a practical choice for users building compact yet powerful systems with sufficient airflow for gaming or high-performance applications. The pre-installed fans, combined with options for further customisation, make the Aeris 330 an attractive option at its price point.
Affordability is one of the Aeris 330’s key advantages. The mesh version in black is priced at US$57.99, while the mesh white model costs US$61.99. For those preferring the glass panel version, the black option is available at US$59.99, and the white variant at US$63.99. These prices convert to approximately S$75.27 to S$83.05, making the Aeris 330 an appealing choice for budget-conscious builders.
Local availability and specific regional pricing details have not been announced yet. GameMax is expected to provide further updates in the coming weeks regarding the distribution of the case.
