Aspire X-Navigator: A High End Gaming Chassis

Construction

The X-Navigator is made of an aluminum body with a plastic front bezel. Aluminum, we as know, is very lightweight, even for a case of this size. The option to add as much hardware as the X-Navigator will allow creates the need for a lighter weight construction, since the internal components of a system would create enough weight to break backs.

Though aluminum is known to be a bit too malleable compared to steel, manufacturers of computer cases have done a great job in creating aluminum alloys that will withstand the daily uses of the chassis and Aspire is no stranger to this. They have used aluminum in almost every part of the X-Navigator to create a design that looks and functions like a high quality product.

We mentioned before how the key lock systems were made of plastic and we are disappointed to see that. Steel would have been a better bet especially when dealing with security features for any case. Breakable security measures are just as good as no security at all. Hopefully, Aspire takes this into consideration when designing new products in the future.

Besides the key lock issue, the overall construction of the X-Navigator is solid in most all aspects.
