The darkFlash DLX4000 has been our go-to chassis for GPU and SSD reviews for some time now, as such it is great to have it for review. It is a clean case, with a sturdy body and beautiful glass panels. While we have seen this body on other cases before, that choice as a base at $120 is a good balance between quality and cost. That said, in recent times, there has been some stiff competition, with brands trying to find more and more ways to offer cases of this style, even with a full fan layout, while pushing the price down. That push however, tends to come at a cost in terms of build quality or attention to details.
With the DLX4000, there is no aspect that feels like corners were cut. Yes, much like several other dual-glass panel cases, it does not offer any fans built-in, so darkFlash missed the opportunity to include a single, quality, color-matched one in the back. That said, small details that do matter, like the pre-wired interior or all white USB ports are considerations that are even rarer to get from enclosures of this price segment.
On the interior, the case manages to offer a shortened, but functional shroud. While that means you don't get the usually hidden HDD cage underneath it, the gained space allows for additional cooling elements both on the side as well as the floor of the DLX4000. Even with the missing cage, you can still install three drives within the case, while not as many as other ATX cases out there, it will likely be enough for the vast majority of users.
Concluding, the darkFlash DLX4000 may have been out for a while, but considering its well balanced, well built and clean state, the attention to detail makes it a very good choice, even today, as such we can wholeheartedly recommend it.
