    Anyone used a Sharkoon Case yet?

    http://www.scan.co.uk/product.aspx?ProductId=21881

    Seems like a nice case... plenty USB ports on the front, like the grill styled front too, nice big fan on the side.

    Thoughts? Experiences?

    If you're a fan (hoho) of the massive fan type cases, there's an aero cool group review here as well:

    Cases are so individual, but I see this as a natural competitor to the Antec 300. The major difference being that huge side fan. If it's quiet, it could be a major gain.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    FANtastic! (ducks and runs for cover)

    Seriously, you could use one bay for DVD, use 7 for some WD 1Tb drives giving you just over 10TBytes of storage with one bay left for a nice Ultrium tape drive to back it all up! (Ultrium 4 - 1.6TB (compressed) per tape. Ultrium 3, 800GB/tape - cheaper hardware and tapes only about £18)

    Re: Anyone used a Sharkoon Case yet?

    Zak, the family PC at home has that case.
    It has quite a lot of space inside and I found it easy to work with, plent of space and didn't have to fiddle around to much to get things the way I wanted inside the case.

    The thing I would have to pick at is the side fan, half the fan is inside the case and half the fan is obviously outside the case.

    The problem with the fan being inside the case is any cables running from that fan do have the potential of being caught up in it and I find that the CPU cooler we use, gets quite close to the fan, not touching, but close.

    Re: Anyone used a Sharkoon Case yet?

    I'm using this case now.... and I took the massive side fan OUT but left the grill in place and it's doing a great job of cooling a Q6600 at 3.2 with a massive great heatsink on it.

    Sharp internal metal edges... and all the drive bays are the same width, but with a load of metal brackets to space the HDD, or Floppy, or Optical drives into the slots.

    Front USB slots very welcome. Looks nice too.

    Just gotta find somewhere to put this blody greeat fan that's spare now

    Re: Anyone used a Sharkoon Case yet?

    I have an Xclio case similar to that with the mahoosive side fan, which I also removed. Mainly because I couldn't get side on with the cooler in position.
