[exfileme]

Sharkoon has introduced two micro-ATX cases that have enough room for a lengthy GeForce GTX 590 card.

I know of a few more than those options.
different sizes and shapes with and without windowed panels.
look nice though, I'll take a closer look when I need another mATX case.
thanks.

Wow, and they have a nice clean design. Thermaltake, pay attention.

 

[ikyung]

Yay. They got the pricing right.

 

[rohitbaran]

Nice. They are functional and don't break the bank.

I like the one on the right. Bring these babies to Europe before December and they got themselves a deal.

Nice, clean looking cases. But..is their name really, Sharkoon?

Sharkoon Technologies GmbH is a German corporation with headquarters in Linden, Germany. They have a branch office in Taiwan.

I would not be surprised if the new cases became available in Europe first.

Best post I've read all day.

Me being a fan of microATX builds, this looks like a nice, cheap case to work with. However, because cable management lacks in many mATX cases(NZXT Vulcan and SilverStone TJ08-E are the few mATX cases that actually have it), that would really be nice.

They look like Fractal Design ripoffs.

Ooh, wow, yeah. I've never seen a case that could fit a long graphics card before.[/sarcasm]
This is the same guy who wrote "Thermaltake Case Has PSU On Bottom, Fans on Top" today.

my angle grinder supports card of any size

Whats the big advantage of having a case thats a few inches shorter than a standard mid tower? It has the same footprint size, so I don't see how it really saves space. It just means you have to reach further down to pop in a dvd or plug in a usb drive.

Sharkoon???? Never knew this brand name existed. But the cases look nice. Although, the market of computer cases is so saturated that the manufacturers are replicating each other with different shapes for the outer frame. There has been no innovation at all for most of the new cases. Some cases ,like the Thermaltake MKI Chaser, feel like it went from design to mass production without having a prototype to test and find out that the temperatures are seriously ridiculous.

These "Sharkoons" still have a top-mounted PSU????? Oh well......

 

[Nim Chimpsky]

It amuses me to think that somewhere out there is someone who is going to buy one of these black boxes with blue honeycomb grilles labeled "Sharkoon."

We have had Sharkoon cases here for a while in the UK not sure about the rest of Europe though.

I haven't used one but they look pretty good and a reasonable price, My last one was a Coolermaster but the Sharkoon was on the list.

What's up, Tom's? Past 2 articles regarding PC cases have looked more like blatant advertisements rather than informative pieces of journalism.

There have been case choices for mATX builds to support longer video cards for a while now, and these people certainly aren't the first to do it. It would have been nice to throw in a couple other options in there that could suffice for builds with big cards rather than a spotlight on a single company for a yet-to-be-seen product.

Thermaltake opting to stick the PSU on the bottom may have been news in 2005, but today? Really?
