The case as a showcase
Aquarium (fish-tank) cases show internals from multiple angles. Front and side panels use tempered glass, and the center pillar is often removed for a wider view.
The style went mainstream globally with brands like Lian Li and Hyte. Awest answers it with the AQ line — for builders who want performance and presence.
GT-AQ18 clearance that matters
GT-AQ18-MB sits in the Mid-Tower class at roughly 398 × 285 × 475 mm. Expect GPU clearance around 445 mm, CPU cooler height up to 160 mm, and ATX / Micro-ATX motherboard support.
Up to ten 120 mm fans, 360 mm radiators in multiple zones, a fan hub, lighting controller and remote — many builds won’t need a separate hub.
ARGB without killing airflow
AQ18’s symmetrical-blade ARGB fans are meant to look right without reverse-mounting — lighting stays, airflow path stays.
If you want a showcase build, plan airflow and dust filters before extension cables and figures. Looks without stable temps do not last.
