Here's a new budget case from Sharkoon. The company reveals the SKILLER SGC1, a mid-tower with a rather aggressive design. The base model is black and ships for 39.90EUR but for 5EUR more the company offers colored versions with an acrylic side window. Those versions are offered in red, green, blue, and black options, and also feature a LED rear fan instead of a regular fan.

Sharkoon SGC1
Sharkoon SGC1 ATX Midi Tower Series | Pre-Installed 120 mm Fans | USB 3.0 | Installation Options for 240 or 360 mm Radiators | Detachable Drive Bays | Cable Management System including Tunnel | Oval Hole Cutouts for Flexible Positioning | Standard Version with Closed Side Panel | Window Version in Four Color Versions including Matching Interior Paint | Acrylic Side Window | Pre-Installed Dust Filter | MSRP from 39.90 Euros

With the Sharkoon SKILLER SGC1, Sharkoon presents the first case within their SKILLER series. The Window Version offers an acrylic side window with an interior paint in the colors red, green, blue and black, plus a 120 mm LED fan in the respective matching color mounted to the rear panel. The Standard Version has a closed side panel, whereby both version designs are especially suitable as striking gaming PCs for cost-conscious gamers.

Sharkoon expands the specifically designed for gamers SKILLER series with a PC case for the very first time. With a front panel featuring a fins pattern and angular design elements, the newly introduced SGC1 case aims particularly at customers who already own SKILLER products or prefer a gaming PC in the typical design. Both versions come in black and are almost identically designed, however, the Window Version of the striking case features an acrylic side window, LED fans and interior paint in the colors red, green, blue and black. A cable management system and oval hole cutouts, for example for fans, radiators and the HDD cage, are provided inside both versions. The tunnel on the case bottom not only is intended to improve airflow inside the case, but also to conceal the power supply and hard drives from view. Audio connectors for the microphone and headphones as well as two USB 3.0 interfaces are located on top.

The front panel of the series comes with a 120 mm fan and offers installation options for an additional fan up to 140 mm. The front supports the optional ability to mount a 240 or 280 mm radiator. A pre-installed 120 mm fan is attached to the rear panel; with the Window Version, it is a 120 mm LED fan. Two 120 mm fans can attach to the side panel of the Standard Version, if needed. The top panel of the Window Version offers the possibility to install up to three 120 mm fans or two 140 mm fans, or optional, 360 or 280 mm radiators can also mount here. The tunnel provides enough space for power supplies up to 24 cm in length and includes a HDD cage, which can accommodate two 3.5" or two 2.5" hard drives decoupled. Oval hole cutouts allow flexible positioning of the HDD cage. If additional 2.5" hard drives are needed, two hard drive brackets are located behind the mainboard tray, which easily attach with thumbscrews. A CPU cooler cutout also facilitates the installation of CPU coolers with a maximum height of 16.5 cm. Cables can be routed behind the mainboard tray via the numerous cable pass-throughs. The maximum length of usable graphics cards is 40 cm. The installation of optical drives is modular, with two drive bays for 5.25" drives located in the front. The drive bays are removable, if extra space inside the case is required. A detachable dust filter is located behind the front panel and on the bottom panel on the Standard Version, while the SGC1 Window also has a magnetic fastening dust filter on the top panel. .
