sharkoon rev300 review b

   The REV300 ATX PC Case by Sharkoon may not be their top model but it’s actually one of the most interesting models I’ve reviewed to date. Not only does it look great and features excellent airflow levels thanks to its 7 pre-installed ARGB fans but the vertical motherboard installation (90-degree rotation) means that you need not worry about your graphics card(s) being heavy and it gives you much easier access to the motherboard’s rear I/O. The ability to use an 420mm radiator is also something we rarely see with mid-towers as is the ability to use another 360mm one. The tempered glass side panel sitting on two hinges is also something i consider to be a very good addition especially since i recently dropped one while adding hardware in one of my test rigs (fell from just 10cm height and broke to 1000 pieces). On the other hand, room for up to five 2.5” drives and/or four 3.5” drives may not sound great to some people but it’s on par with what we see lately by mid-towers.


   Retailing for 149.90Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the REV300 ATX PC Case by Sharkoon is priced just about right especially if you take into account that the 7 pre-installed ARGB fans alone retail for roughly half that price. Unfortunately, I was unable to track the REV300 inside the USA (not on any of the large e-tailers) and that’s pretty much its sole serious drawback. Overall, the REV300 ATX PC Case by Sharkoon delivers on everything most consumers and even professionals could ever ask for and for that it gets the Golden Award.
