But after I had informed me a bit about the case and I this both visually very attractive also felt pricewise, I decided to give a new chance Sharkoon.
Granted at a price about 30, - can not be expected around the quality, such as one would expect at a twice as expensive housing. Somewhere must be saved because no manufacturer has something to give away. Has been spared to make it grow and advance the sheet to the other materials, the sheet is relatively thin and the material does not feel particularly wertig on. The both are points which I would forgive a product in this price range.
Except for two small errors, the housing was flawless, error a is a small barely visible Lackschaden (paint has come off - the sensitive surface is also on the network in some test reports criticized especially at the plug-in cards) and the fact that damages the internal thread at two mainboard spacers / Incorrect was where the screw was no grip. I complaining the spacers at Sharkoon in Germany directly and within two days I have been replaced this without hesitation. Therefore Sharkoon not seem to belong to the black sheep who hide behind the traders at the customer service.
Although the plates are relatively thin so the folds and edges are all in order, in the past I've also had other very sharp-edged housing in his hand as the earned me some gash. Therefore, I can attest to clean processing Sharkoon on this point.
Convince does the housing through Cable Management, which enables a clutter-free look at the innards of the PC through the viewing window. Thus, by the lack of Kabelwust course the airflow generated by the two additional case fans better flow through the housing, the two LED fans which are lit according to the selected housing color can both Molex directly on the power supply as well as on the matching Chassi FAN connectors of Motherboards are connected. Connected to the motherboard routes the min (if not controlled) with 1150U / and remain acceptable quietly. But the lighting is not as strong as you also the photos my love (at least for the color red that I have acquired).
Very good I think the quick locking of drives for 2x5,25 "and 3x3,5" that allow the drives also without any tools and to build from. The housing itself is screwed with 4 thumb screws and can also be opened without screwdriver.
The cage for 2.5 "drives can be removed (here there is no quick-lock) for the installation of very long graphics cards to enable (up to 38cm) (31cm otherwise). For my graphics card, this was not necessary in any case.
Very good are the total of 4 front USB ports are provided which 2 each for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. The USB 2.0 port If the motherboard do not yet have USB 3.0 so can be connected to a USB 3.0 sockets also.
However, small flaw is the small distance between ATX mainboard and PSU unfortunately blocked Sharkoon why the last slot bracket and thus a PCI slot I would like to use card for my old TV satellite with me. Too Bad. Another shortcoming I but Sharkoon not ankreide because this hardly provides a housing, the fact is that I can only use a maximum of 6 mounting holes in my ATX motherboard although the motherboard outside two more features in the back a few extra threaded holes are unlikely cause great costs and enough screws and washers are in the housing.
1 star there is deduction because of small flaws but I will be happy to recommend this case.
