The X-Navigator looks very openhearted right from the outside. When it's switched on this effect is underscored even further by the many illuminated fans. Despite the solid-looking metal, the aluminum case weighs just 19.8 lbs (9 kg) - without the components, of course.

Color-coordinated system fans

Front Sections And Connectors

A choice of colored plastic parts can be used to adorn the front depending on taste. As an alternative to blue, Aspire also offers black, green, beige and yellow. But then you should also switch the system fans to the appropriate color at the same time. The small blue-lit display cannot be changed. It permanently displays two temperature readings and also serves to control the fans.
