Introduction
I would like to thank
Sharkoon for supplying the review sample.
Sharkoon is well known in Europe for their wide range of PC gaming related products ranging from cases to peripherals, audio products, chairs and more. The Sharkoon TG7M RGB being reviewed here is a modern gaming chassis with built-in lighting elements, fine mesh, and clean lines that hopes to check off all the boxes from a modern I/O to the pre-installed PWM fans and embedded ARGB controller, which does make it an interesting choice for anyone looking to build a mainstream gaming system.

Packaging
Sharkoon ships the TG7M RGB in a black and white box. Unfortunately, DHL had it sitting in a damp warehouse for a hot minute, so they had to tape up the bottom for structural integrity. Both larger panels have an image of the chassis, while the smaller ones list specifications in multiple languages. There are no carrying holes, but the package is compact enough to lift regardless.
While the case is held in place by traditional Styrofoam, Sharkoon has gone the extra mile to employ a black, branded cloth bag as an added layer of protection, which also improves the unboxing experience.
