Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents a new midi ATX tower, the RGB FLOW. The case catches attention with its minimalistic design, highlighted by the two integrated addressable RGB strips. Enough room is also available inside the case, where up to six fans or, alternatively, correspondingly large radiators can be installed. In addition, Sharkoon ensures various installation possibilities for HDDs and SSDs.

While the RGB strips on the front and side panels provide a stream of light, the right amount of airflow is provided by the fine mesh grille on the front panel together with the pre-installed 120-millimeter fan. To optimize this, there are four further locations ready for fan installation: a 120 millimeter fan at the front, two under the top panel and one more at the rear of the case. There is still enough space for radiators. A 360 millimeter model with a height of up to 6.4 centimeters will fit behind the front panel, and a 280 millimeter model with a height of up to 5.5 centimeters will fit in the top of the case. Dust filters on the front, top and bottom panels protect the hardware from dust and dirt. All the filters can be easily removed for quick and easy cleaning.



Direct View of Hardware
The tempered glass side panel attaches using two thumbscrews on the back of the case and offers an unimpeded view of the installed hardware. This is showcased even more effectively thanks to the LED strip situated underneath the glass panel.

Addressable LEDs for the Necessary FLOW
The RGB FLOW is equipped on both the front and side with an LED strip. Both strips are daisy-chained and can be connected to the integrated RGB controller. The controller has connections for three additional LED components, and this way, a synchronized lighting with 14 effects can be achieved even without software and a compatible mainboard. The effects are selected using the reset switch of the case. Alternatively, the RGB controller can be connected to a mainboard with a 4- or 3-pin RGB connection (pinout 5 V-D-coded-G or V-D-G). This enables the illumination to be integrated into the most common RGB synchronization technology of leading mainboard manufacturers.

Enough Room for Enough Data Storage
Up to six SSDs have locations on and in the power supply tunnel and behind the mainboard tray. For either SSDs or 3.5" hard drives, an SSD/HDD cage is available alongside the power supply. The cage can be easily moved a few centimeters via the extra-long thumbscrew slots, or it can be completely removed. To preclude unwanted noise from the HDDs, the HDD trays have been provided with rubber contact points.

Compact Yet Roomy Case
Despite the compact design, graphics cards with a length of up to 35 centimeters and CPU coolers with a height of up to 16.5 centimeters will find room. For power supplies, 21.5 centimeters is available in a tunnel, which itself contributes to a tidy and orderly appearance for the installed hardware.

Price and Availability
The Sharkoon RGB FLOW is now available at the manufacturer's suggested price of 54.90 euros.

But,

It's got tons of R.friggin.G.friggin.B.friggin lite'em ups, what else does anyone REALLY need... hahahaha :roll: :D

But, I agree, airflow is king IMO, especially in mid-small cases, and can NOT be ignored, unless you enjoy having your components melt down in front of you, or at the very least throttling and causing BSOD's every 5 mins due to overheating........

It also has NO USB-C on the front I/O, which is completely inexcusable for a "new" case model in late 2019....

The bottom "half" has a mesh, so there should be some airflow. At least to the GPU.

I just noticed that when I was looking on the PC vs when looking on my phone. Still, it seems rather......suffocating in terms of design of the mesh. I cant imagine it will move a whole lot of airflow.

Just an FYI, but that ^^ word will subject you to the wrath of some forum nazi's, at least in the context that I have used it in the past concerning the over abundance of boring-same-ole-same-same-lame-lame-zero-innovation-nuthin-new-here designs of so-called NEW" case releases of the past 2 or so years.....hehehe :roll: :D

What do you expect to be reinvented about PC cases? No sarcasm, I'm curious. :)

At this point in time, I don't expect anything, but would like to see someone, anyone, who sells pc cases to "think outside the box" more often and create cases that push the boundaries of design and style.

I understand that we are severely limited in this pursuit due to the ages-old standardized mobo configs (atx, itx etc), but it would be nice to see something that is unique and different enough to justify being called "NEW", and there are a few cases out there that have shown that different can be done and still work within the existing frameworks of current mobo/component form factors.

For example: Thermaltake TT900/Level 20-XT, Corsair Air 240/540/740, BitFenix ProdigyM ect..... yes I know some of these designs will not appeal to everyone, but obviously, somebody is buying them or they would have been discontinued long ago....

Here is my opinion on cases.

- There are not enough BTX cases in terms of towers. I love BTX cases.
- Design is rather the same across the board - RGB lighting everything is same. Why not build a sleek looking case with decent front airflow (this case could actually work well in BTX format since the air flow for the case would work in terms of placement of the bottom 120mm fan).
- I love the Silverstone Raven cases. Why not design more cases like that and make them affordable?
- Why so many ATX Cases? I want more itx cases. And instead of those stupid tower ITX cases (A tall cube.... If I want tall, I will go ATX).
- RGB is so early 2000's. I know, now they change color and all that fancy stuff. But I remember those god ugly acrylic cases with Red or Blue lights in them. Migraine inducing.

Just set RGB to blue to cool the system, that's why it's called RGB FLOW :laugh::laugh::laugh:

The build quality of Raven cases (except RV02) is pretty awful, I do like those 180mm fans though.

Hey now... I can tell you I would never allow something like this to pass through me. That could just be the zombie in me coming out tho. We like things with brains in them. For too long our kind has been accused of being mindless, but we're not brainless. Come on, man! Even I would have made the top half mesh too, at least. Why are you doing this to me bro.
