Sharkoon Intros Vaya ATX Mid-Tower Value Case
Sharkoon rolled out Vaya, a value ATX mid-tower case priced at just around $35. Made entirely of SECC steel and ABS plastic, Vaya provides all the essentials to house today's hardware, including tool-free drive-bays and expansion slot covers, a motherboard tray with holes at the right places to help cable-management, a hole behind the CPU socket area to help handling coolers with backplates, and a pair of holes for water-cooling tubes.
Measuring 465 x 185 x 440 mm (L x W x H), the Sharkoon Vaya provides room for up to four 5.25" drives or utility panels, one exposed 3.5" bay, and four internal 3.5" bays. The front panel provides basic USB 2.0 and audio ports. The lone fan bundled is a front red-illuminated 120 mm spinner, there's room for one 120 mm fan on the rear panel, and two on the side panel.

(ok this needs to be cleared up: my main argument against it/the hell reference is the red colour. I hate shiny colours in cases.)
Of course, this is not the worst case I've seen, but I sometimes wonder how hard is it for a company to actually hire someone who can design worth a damn, it it simply amazing that such products can make it past quality control, I always have difficulty wrapping my head around this. It is really not that difficult to design a something as simple as a computer case. too often I come across god awfully ugly products that would take someone like me about 15 minutes to overturn it come up with an elegant design that would be suitable for majority of the market.
how come they design it like that
Distinctive while not overwrought is the desirable image you want such mainstream /budget cases to exemplify.
How hard is that... obviously? :confused:
Could be worht it actually despite the looks. And it would look better if you replace the fan/disable the light.

Some people like some really ugly things.
I was wanting to get a Sharkoon Bandit but no one sells them here.
My old Lian Li is good enough for now.
