Great Case, Surprisingly Wide Compatibility, Easy To Build In
I really love this case. Compact and minimal, and it was unbelievably easy to build in. I love that is has ventilation on all sides, and dust filters at every side panel. With a modular SFX power supply cable management is simple, too. It also has the best array of front I/O of any case this size that I've seen, that's a huge plus for me. Fits on a shelf underneath my desk, freeing up all my desk space. Surprisingly it fits a Noctua NH-U12A CPU cooler easily, although the heat pipes do press on the top panel a little bit, but not enough to make closing it a hassle. I highly recommend doing a 240mm AIO at the top, though. Dropped temps by over 12 degrees in gaming when I swapped to a top exhaust AIO. Took some tinkering to get it in there with a Cooler Master ML240L V2, but it was worth it.

Great Value for Money Compact Case
Smart style compact case. I would recommend to someone who is limited with space but also wants enough room to fit a full size GPU, ATX power supply and a decent sized CPU cooler.Pros-Enough room for all of the essentials-Not too difficult to build in as 5/6 of the panels come off-Compact but without needing to have too many limitations like smaller cases have-Plenty of air vents (on all sides) and all but the back have dust filters-Hand screws to remove the panels-Comes with a fan (3pin or molex connector, doesn't have a variable speed)-Good front IO- 2x USB2.0, 2x USB 3.0, headphone and mic jacks- Good value for moneyCons-Need to keep in mind the case dimensions while picking your components (e.g. The EVGA 500W standard ATX PSU has the cables near to the RAM on the MSI H81I mini itx motherboard so I could on't fit one stick of RAM in)-looks odd on the side orientationI'm very happy with the case. I have been using it regularly for a few months now

This case is perfect for iTX build, low price, convinient internal layout...
Case comes with one 12cm fan installed. This fan is very quiet even when directly connected to the 12V, so I decided to use it without PWM. It acts as side intake. I decided to place case it in vertical position as PSU was generating alot of heat and hard drives temperature started to rise.Anyway, I was able to fit these components inside: - Corsair SF600 Full Modular Cable Management Power Supply, 80 Plus Platinum, 600 W; - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2x8GB kit); - Gigabyte GA-B450I-AORUS-PRO-WIFI; - AMD Ryzen 7 2700 CPU; - ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports Edition; - Sapphire Radeon Nitro + RX 580 8GB GDDR5; - Noctua NF-A8 PWM; - Three 2.5" hard drives.I've provided several images of assembled case. I have tested system stability with Aida64. CPU never goes over 63 degC, VRM goes to 72 degC and GPU goes to 77 degC.I could make it even with SF450 PSU, but from my experience, it is always better to have more "juice".

Really small, sleek profile. Fits everything. Great potential.
I bought this case for a special project, to show that one can make a full gaming pc on a small case.Its sleek appearance and form are perfect for a media centre as it doesn't stand out and isn't obtrusive.It has its own standard internal configuration, but if you think it can't hold too much, don't be fooled. I managed to get a mITX motherboard, a RX480 GPU, 2 water pumps, 1 240mm radiator (the 120mm radiator was placed outside), 3 120mm fans, 2 60mm fans, an ODD and even a temperature management console inside of it. Yes, i needed to do extensive modifications for it, but the space is there and one just needs to have a bit of imagination to use it to its full potential.The material its made is ok, not great, but does well the job. The finishing is good too. The front mesh grill has a filter to avoid dust entering the case.Still use it as my main computer and simply love the size of it, allowing me to transport it where i want.Please be aware that the case does not come with glass walls or front entrance for ODDs and devices. Those were all made by me.

Extremely well priced SFF Case, mixture of design decisions with subtle improvements needed.
An extremely well priced SFF Case, with a mixture of design decisions that could do with subtle improvements.I ordered this case to house a pfsense router build I am making. Obviously, this case only takes ITX form factor motherboard, there are also restrictions on the power supplies supported. As other reviewers have mentioned some modular power supplies, brush over the ram modules (I plan to use a FSP 450w SFX so will not have this issue). I am using second-hand/old build hardware, for instance, i5-4460 Haswell to keep costs down. Also this will make the router pretty powerful and future proof (in comparison to typical commercial routers) it for what it is doing.I purchased at £48.48 at the start of May 2020. Annoyingly enough a day after my order was despatched Amazon lowered the price to the £40 mark. You win some you lose some, I did not want to go through the hassle of returning and re-ordering just for £8. Furthermore, I was unsure if it would be possible to re-order as these were limited to 1 per customer. I found this very odd since I wouldn't class it as an essential item like toilet paper or hand gel, and it had a price cut so wasn't an exclusive. However, I digress.The case itself is made from black metal (I think steel), with other plastic bits included inside. I am impressed with how good this case is. For example details such as each side panel being removable and replaceable with the adjacent panel if needed (top + bottom/left + right). These panels are attached with thumb screws at the rear of the case. Compared with my SilverStone SST-SG13 which I need to wrestle with to attach the uni-piece (3 sided top, left and right) back to the frame, this is night and day. The case's legs are 4 small rubber/plastic feet that can be attached one any side (self-adhesive) . Maybe future improvements could include magnetic feet to permit mobility from side to side, without leaving adhesive residue or wearing out.After such clever design decisions for the side panels, it is a shame Sharkoon went with fixing the small shelf with rivets. I would of preferred it to be M2 screws or a click type system for even more flexibility. I will be attempting to use a small drill bit and remove the rivets, fingers crossed it works and that I can use M2s.I find this case to be well made and a bargain at its current price point of £40, I am glad I ordered even if I did pay slightly more. Before purchasing I had never heard of Sharkoon and had to watch Youtube videos to find out more. I will evidently be ordering another one in due course once restrictions have been lifted and hope to do a Ryzen main build inside it, most likely with a 140mm/280mm AIO watercooler. I wish for Sharkoon to keep this case form factor but upgrade certain aspects such as the shelf, or maybe add a USB-C header to the front IO panel.

Reasonable ITX case which takes an ATX PSU and quite long GPU.
This is a reasonable ITX case which takes an ATX PSU and quite long GPU. I was able to fit a 650W PSU, Ryzen 5 3600 with Radeon RX5700XT graphics. It makes for a very compact but very capable mid-range gaming PC.The Good:Relatively well built for the price.Quite nice looking (When you remove the plastic "Sharkoon" badge!)I was able to fit a 290mm long GPU.I was able to fit a relatively inexpensive standard ATX PSU.I was able to fit a tall 90mm tower cooler. Some smaller 120mm coolers would also fit I think.Good ventilation with lots of grilles and mesh.Easy to work on for a small form factor case.Panels are removable off all 2 sides and the mesh front plastic moulding also removes.Access to the rear of the motherboard once fitted is good. I was able to change the cooler mount bracket without taking the motherboard out.The case can be orientated in both dimensions (short & fat or Tall and not so fat). Simply stick the supplied rubber feet to the side you want to have at the bottom.The Bad:The PSU needs to be a small (i.e. early ATX standard size) type. Extended size and most modular PSU's will NOT fit. This rules out most high quality PSU's over 600W.The PSU is mounted at the front so you only get an IEC socket at the rear, no power switch or access to PSU's power switch.The cables for the USB, Audio and LED front panel are way too long. It looks like they used standard length ones off a standard case. You have to find somewhere to wrap up and hide the excess.A 3.5" HDD is mounted in a stupid bulky plastic sled thing which wastes space. It is not hot swappable so I cannot see the point in the sled.There are mounting holes on the top for a 120mm AIO radiator, however if you fit a 3.5" in it's sled it will not fit.The Ugly:The nasty plastic Sharkoon badge. Fortunately it is only stuck on with double sided tape and is easily removed leaving no marks.The electricity arcing as you plug the power cable in as there is no power switch.Generally though if you need to fit a GPU longer then 270mm it is a good budget option. If your GPU is smaller than 270mm I would recommend the Silverstone SG13 instead. It is better built, smaller and supports modular PSU's for the same price.
