eTeknix, Hardware Heaven, and KitGuru have reviewed the Sharkoon T9 mid-tower case.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • eTeknix:

    "Whilst these are not the cheapest ‘value’ cases that can be had, for the features that are included in the T9 its price point positioning in the market is about right. Being a mid tower case, there are a number of other options that are availble from the likes of Silverstone, Lian-Li and Coolermaster to name but a few but for those that have similar features and options, their price points are slightly higher at around the £90-£100 mark which gives the T9 a competitive price in comparison.

    If you’re after a case that can cover a number of bases, in keeping ‘at a glance’ looks toned down with a bit of flair on the inside, the T9 is a good case to consider, especially with the budget conscious builder in mind."

  • Hardware Heaven:

    "We start with the build quality which is decent in most areas. The case feels reasonably sturdy and the front panel fits well. There are no rough edges or ill-fitting parts inside and Sharkoon have taken the time to apply rubber covers on the back panel holes which is a nice touch. Two areas which let the case down a little though are the base and back panel. Both are a little thin for our liking and the back especially has a significant amount of flex because of this.

    Design wise though the case looks good and has many features we wouldn't normally expect from a value model such as decent wiring holes, support for USB 3.0, the inclusion of a case window and three fans and the ability to install an SSD without the need for a bracket. There is also room within the case to install 14cm coolers, liquid cooling such as the Corsair H80 and larger graphics cards such as the Radeon 7900 series."

  • KitGuru:

    "The Sharkoon T9 Green Value Edition is clearly targeting the budget sector but regardless we have been pleasantly surprised by the overall quality. The company have obviously researched the market and have created a chassis that manages to lift itself out of the ‘cheap n’ nasty’ sector.

    The T9 includes tool-less locking mechanisms for 5.25″ bays and three impressively quiet case fans. On top of this there are nine 5.25″ bays giving plenty of space for hard drives and optical drives, as well as a USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0 ports on the front of the case."

For the money, this is a surprisingly well designed and attractive case from Sharkoon.
