Sharkoon Unveils RGB Wave Case

[btarunr]

Sharkoon Technologies, an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals, is expanding its range of cases with the launch of the RGB Wave. This midi-ATX case gives current hardware components a framework that is both efficient and extraordinary thanks to four pre-installed fans and an air-permeable front panel with a 3D wave design.

At the heart of the design concept of the RGB Wave is the front panel. This has a series of undulating wave-like strips in front of an air-permeable mesh and set within a carbon-fiber textured frame. It is complemented by a side panel made of tempered glass, through which the built-in hardware can be admired. To visually round things off, three 120-millimeter fans with addressable RGB illumination are installed behind the front panel to accentuate the wave design and the installed hardware with up to 16.3 million colors.



Efficient Cooling for Today's Hardware
In addition to the case's visual aspects, a good airflow for cooling current hardware systems is provided by the air-permeable front panel in conjunction with the three RGB fans that are pre-installed behind it, as well as another 120-millimeter RGB fan on the rear panel. If necessary, the cooling performance can be supplemented by two additional fans with a diameter of up to 140 millimeters under the top panel and also a 120-millimeter fan on the top of the power supply tunnel.

Up-to-Date Ports
For the top ports near the front of the case, Sharkoon provides two standard USB 3.0 ports as well as the usual audio connections. In addition, the RGB Wave has a Type-C port with the USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification, allowing the connection of modern mobile devices for fast and varied data transfer.

Broad Compatibility for Hardware
Thanks to a tidily configured interior, graphics cards measuring up to 33.5 centimeters can be installed inside this compact midi-ATX case, as well as CPU coolers up to 15.7 centimeters and power supply units up to 17.5 centimeters. In addition, the case has space for a total of five SSDs; and two 3.5-inch HDDs can be accommodated in the HDD/SSD cage if no SSDs are already installed inside this.

Price and Availability.
The RGB Wave is now available at the manufacturer's suggested price of 74.90 euros.

It's reached the point where I've just added the word "RGB" to uBlock Origin...

Yea, just a new design for the front intakes. No wonder it's cheap.

You say that like it's a bad thing - this is one of the better, more modern budget chassis (in terms of production tooling) and different flavours of front panel are inevitable to account for different market tastes.

If you want innovation and extravaganza, go InWin/Lian Li, and pay for it...

That HDD cage and punch out PCI slot covers are certainly bad on otherwise what is a decent case(granted steel used isnt too thin). While at it even RGB fans can be sacrificed for better HDD cage and reusable PCI slot covers.

I think you're mistaking this for a more expensive product. The thumbscrew slot covers typically appear on cases that cost an additional €15-20 in their most basic non-RGB SKU. The RGB SKUs of those cases are almost exclusively over €100.

Would it be nice to get €100+quality in a sub-€75 product? Absolutely; Sharkoon aren't a charity though, so it's not happening.

What's bad about the HDD cage anyway? it's removable and it has the standard plastic tool-free trays that appear on competitors as far as I can tell....
