I came across this Aerocool DS cube while researching, they had done some fancy casing (not to my liking) previously. But their new DS cube case is nice, simple and logical design. I think they referenced it after Bitfenix prodigy case which is a mITX case which is not suitable for me. The DS fits right with its mATX design. For the unboxing and features, it can be easily found online so I am not doing any videos on it. I also got 2x aerocool 14cm shark fans (red LED) for top ventilation.
Another thing I wish to change is my CPU cooler, due to it compact size. It struggles to cool my CPU if I am doing any CPU intensive stuff. Otherwise it is pretty good cooler. With a new case and a taller clearance for CPU cooler height. It is time to change it, I choose Zalman CNPS9900. This design has been in the market for quite some time but they had been updating its kits to following the latest mounting holes for the CPU bracket. Personally, I like the design and it looks cool with it red LED fan. Do take note that mounting the bracket with cooler is a pain in the ass, they should change the mounting kit similar to my previous cooler which is a breeze to install. But the effort is worth it once it is installed.
Below is the pics for the case and CPU cooler.

Mini review:
After everything, the case cable is pretty good with only relevant cables running to my MB. It improves the airflow greatly and I am using the mesh top cover since I have fans running on top to exhaust the hot air. And my new cooler is doing a good job in keeping my CPU cool.
