Sharkoon Announces the TG5 RGB ATX Midi Tower with Controllable RGB LED Fans

Sharkoon has added a new version to the TG5 ATX PC Case launched in 2017: The Sharkoon TG5 RGB ATX Midi Tower. In addition to the tempered glass front and left side panel, the TG5 RGB ATX Midi Tower features four 120 mm RGB LED fans as well as a Sharkoon RGB LED strip. In total, six LED elements can be controlled via a 12V-G-R-B connector with the included 6-port RGB hub. The TG5 RGB is compatible with GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, ASUS Aura as well as other common RGB capable mainboards. For mainboards without a 12V-G-R-B connector, the TG5 RGB comes with a manual color control.

The Sharkoon TG5 RGB is especially made for fans of flashy gaming PCs who want an individualized illumination from as many as 16.8 million colors. The tempered glass left side panel provides a clear view of the illuminated components inside the case. Thanks to the cable management system, the PC case can always make a tidy impression. The front panel is designed cable-free and can thus be removed easily without pulling on any cabling. The front has three pre-installed 120 mm LED fans, and another 120 mm LED fan is pre-installed on the rear panel. In addition, a RGB LED strip is provided for the case interior. The strip can be attached magnetically and by using its adhesive tape. In total, six LED elements can be connected to mainboards with a 12V G-R-B connector and controlled, using the included 6-port RGB hub - as long as the LED elements are compatible with GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, ASUS Aura or other common RGB capable mainboards. For mainboards without a 12V-G-R-B connector, the TG5 RGB comes with a manual color control. This is equipped with switches, enabling the illumination of the fans and the strip in seven colors, including white. In order to strengthen airflow inside the case, the top panel provides room for up three 120 mm fans or two 140 mm fans. For water cooling, a 280 mm or a 360 mm radiator can be installed to the front of the case.
CPU coolers with a maximum height of 16.7 cm can be installed. A CPU cooler cutout in the mainboard tray facilitates the installation. Graphic cards with a maximum length of 40 cm can be inserted, and the maximum length for the power supply is 20.5 cm. Up to three 3.5" hard drives can be mounted decoupled in the tunnel's HDD cage. If desired, the complete HDD cage can be fixed, via thumbscrews, onto the bottom of the tunnel - and using the oval hole cutouts, the cage can be positioned up to the fan on the front panel. Within the tunnel, a decoupled mounting is provided for the power supply. Two 2.5" HDD/SSDs can be mounted further behind the mainboard tray, or on the tunnel, by means of the two 2.5" mounting brackets and thumbscrews. Four detachable dust filters give protection from dirt, and the filter on the top panel has a convenient magnetic fastening. Two detachable dust filters are located along the sides of the front panel. The front panel is also equipped with two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports plus two audio ports for connecting peripheral devices.

The Sharkoon TG5 RGB ATX Midi Tower is now available for the suggested retail price of 79.90 euros from authorized retailers.

I like it, although there's nothing unique about it. It looks OK for a simple, low-cost build (air cooled). I like the clean look of the front glass (no fasteners, it seems to be permanently mounted to the plastic front panel). I don't think it's tall enough for top radiators, seeing how close the motherboard is to the top. If the drives are mounted flat, I guess a front radiator will fit, but it's not clear in the photos, and no drive trays are shown on their website's gallery for the TG5 RGB.
