Sharkoon rolls out its REV100, a new mid-tower that will retail for 64.90EUR. This case has the hallmark feature of Sharkoon's REV series: the motherboard mount is rotated by 90 degrees so its tempered glass side panel is located on the right-hand side.

The case supports an Mini-ITX to ATX sizes motherboard, a video card with a length of up to 315mm, a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 167mm, and a PSU with a maximum length of 200mm.

REV100 measures 452mm x 215mm x 444mm and weighs 5.8kg. There's room for up to three 3.5" HDDs and up to two 2.5" SSDs. Cooling is provided by a maximum of three fans, the company includes one 120mm fan with the case as well as one 120mm ARGB LED fan. The front panel also has an ARGB LED fan, these light effects can be controlled via an RGB header on your motherboard or via the included controller. Not a lot of room for watercooling, Sharkoon says the maximum you can install is a 120mm radiator.

Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon is now introducing the latest case to the REV series: the REV100 ATX midi tower. Like its predecessors, it features the same innovative case structure which has made the series so popular. The mainboard mount is rotated by 90 degrees with the tempered glass side panel located on the right-hand side. Because of its more compact size, the REV100 is ideal for smaller desks.

Minimalist Design
The front panel of the REV100 has a geometric, angular design with a surface which resembles brushed metal. Highlighting the minimalist front panel design are its mesh grid and the RGB LED strip. In addition, the back of the case is illuminated with a pre-installed, addressable RGB LED fan. Both RGB LED components can be correspondingly adjusted using the pre-installed controller.

A Case Configuration with a Difference
Just like its predecessors, the REV100 offers the unique and innovative case design for which the REV series is known. Because the mainboard is mounted rotated by 90 degrees, so are all the other components inside the case. These are thus installed vertically. There is also a compartment under the top panel with plenty of space to neatly stow cables.

Away from the Usual
As a difference to the usual, the inside of the case is not viewed from the left, but from the right. Therefore, the models of the REV series are particularly suitable for being placed on the left side of the desk. Below the tempered glass, there is a black covering so that the view inside is not disturbed by unsightly cables.

A Case Optimized for Airflow
Even though the REV100 is the smallest case of the series, it offers sufficient airflow with an RGB LED fan in the back of the case and another pre-installed 120-millimeter fan at the front. Here, the optimally sized mesh panel contributes to the airflow. In addition, the detachable top cover is perforated, and is thus air permeable. To prevent unwanted dust and dirt, there are removable dust filters behind the front panel and in the bottom panel.

Space-Saving ATX Tower
With dimensions of 45.2 x 21.5 x 44.4 centimeters, the REV100 is compact and fits easily into any setup. Whether on or next to the desk, the REV100 cuts a fine figure everywhere. So that there is enough space for all components despite the small size, the case does without a power supply tunnel.
