The inside of the X-Infinity uses an all-aluminum body, which helps to lighten the case for portability purposes.

The included PSU is manufactured by L&C (a.k.a. Deer), and is rated at 350w, and the above amperage ratings. I would perhaps use this PSU for a low-demand system, but for anything high end, take a look at some other options. Antec TruePower, Zalman, Thermaltake, and Seasonic immediately come to mind.

At the back of this case, we see that it contains one fan spot that suits an 80, 92, or 120mm fan. The stamped fan grill they use is the same as on the Aspire X-Dreamer II. It looks to be slightly restrictive, so you may want to break out the dremel and cut those out.

Aspire has included a PCI back-plate that can be used to route cables to the back of the case. You can remove this, obviously. Also, note how the design is not tool-less in any way. This is not a major ordeal, but it's becoming a trend in many cases. However, the Aspire is budget-priced at around $60 with a PSU, unlike the PSU-less $100+ Beantech or $150+ Damier, so keep that in mind as well.

The internal drive arrangement allows for 4 3.5" internal HDDs, and two external 3.5" devices.

Sorry for the awkward photo here (my tripod is too large to fit inside the case). As we can see, this case allows for two 80mm intakes to cool off some of your hard drives. These fans are not included, however. Additionally, the two intake fans use the same restrictive stamped grills as the back-- unnecessary restriction, when the bezel doesn't allow for any prodding fingers or animals anyway, why put stamped grills there? Never understood that myself.

Finally, at the top, we see that the X-Infinity allows for 4 5.25" drives-- enough for most systems.

The Aspire X-Infinity, like the X-Dreamer II, also has a removable motherboard tray. While I don't like it quite as much as the one found on the Igloo 10, it is certainly a great inclusion into such an inexpensive case, and allows for much easier parts-swapping.

Visible here is the entire back of the case. Note the Lian Li-style ventilation grill by the PCI slots.

While we're at it, here's a close-up on the back of the power supply. It's a basic layout-- one 80mm fan, a power switch, and a voltage selector.

Here are a few accessories included with the case.
Now that we've shown you the entire case, we're going to build a system in it! Check out the next page for more.
