The unique front panel is almost entirely open, allowing air to spill into the case. That’s not the case with the Aegis RS 12. In a tempered glass mid-tower like the NZXT H510i, airflow is a problem. The only addition is an angular front panel with an MSI badge in the center, and it goes beyond looks. The case itself isn’t too impressive, matching a similar size and form factor as any mid-tower ATX case you could find. They’re MSI’s own fans that come with frosted blades, allowing the RGB to evenly shine through.Įnough with the unicorn vomit, though. This is overkill for fans, and they were a bit loud during testing. The lighting is so pronounced because MSI includes a lot of fans in the Aegis RS 12 - six in total, split across the front, top, and back. The machine looks great when it’s all lit up, and there’s even a dedicated LED button to change up the lighting if you can’t bother with software. There’s nothing too special about the machine when it’s powered off, but the first drip of RGB shows you why MSI is known for superb lighting. In terms of looks, the Aegis RS 12 is a showstopper.
