Sharkoon T9 Green Value Edition Case Review

The Sharkoon T9 Green Value Edition is packaged in a fairly thin corrugated cardboard box, which had clearly seen better days by the time it reached us. It listed the features in several languages on the sides, and the same on the back as on the front.

The packaging is as we would expect for a chassis and consists of two (very) bright white Styrofoam blocks for the top and bottom with the case itself wrapped in a thin plastic cover.

After removing the packaging, we can see the case in all of its glory. It certainly doesn't look bad, but won't win any awards for appearance. That said, it does have a window on the side with an unusual coloured tint which should attract an audience.

A close-up of the front shows us the inclusion of a USB 3.0 port, as well as 3 x USB 2.0 ports, and the usual headphone/microphone sockets. The two grey rectangular strips are in fact the Power LED and HDD LED, which we normally expect to find closer to the power button. The Power button and Reset buttons are located halfway down the case on two wings and have a very reflective metallic silver finish.

The lower front of the case is fairly plain with the exception of the Sharkoon logo. On the one side it is as simple as it can be, including a very small indentation to help you slide this side off the case.
The back of the case is where the theme really shines out, until now we hadn't seen much evidence of the ‘green edition'. The 7 PCI slot covers are made of a bright green mesh and we also expect this rear fan to be illuminated in a green. Sharkoon have decided to include a USB 3.0 cable instead of an internal motherboard cable header.
