Freedom Xone Chassis

Akasa are now running from strength to strength throughout the International market as suppliers of some of the most awesome coolers, PSU’s and Chassis.   Picking up market share world wide when new offices open, primarily Akasa focused on European and Far East markets but their growth now is being felt throughout the US and other markets ringing a few alarm bells from other makers who thought their market share stance was firm.  

We have been using Akasa chassis now for many years as the robust build quality of the high-end models is exceptional.  Entry level chassis we have also found to be very good and the Akasa Zen which we first displayed back in September 2006 has been a faithful companion for many articles and papers.  

When the call came that a new entry level chassis was ready to come to market this most certainly caught our attention and today we look into the Akasa Freedom Xone (Xone has a numerous set of conations to it, mostly relating to the music industry).

With the aid of Akasa's marketing, we now will have a look at what Akasa have to say about their new Freedom Xone chassis and it's functionality.

Akasa Freedom products are designed to unleash the performance of your system. Freedom Xone is a cutting edge midi tower case delivering superb cooling. A  “Black is Black” case with sleek black interior.  The striking appearance of the mesh front panel with pure white illumination provides constant airflow.

The cool black chassis uses zoned thermal management including base mounted PSU and smart cable management giving that clean tidy system. All round easy access including rear entry to the motherboard for heatsink backplate fitting and tool free HDD installation makes system building a breeze. Full size hi-performance VGA cards are accommodated and kept cool with side panel ventilation.
