Ship-Shape
The first object that comes to mind when we look at the Acer Aspire AM3970 is a ship of the ocean-going variety. While the tower mostly retains the familiar boxy shape you’d expect from such a product, the front includes a plastic façade that extends forward and upward to a silver-trimmed edge. Viewed from an angle, the enclosure looks like an extremely tall cargo vessel.
Other touches include a black-gray dot matrix pattern surrounding a chrome Acer logo on the lower-front half of the case and a chrome power button on the right front side. Most of the plastic is gloss, which means that dust and dirt shows particularly well. Still, the overall aesthetic is sufficient for this desktop’s price tag.
