Sharkoon has launched the SK6 ARGB, a mid-tower chassis that aims to bring the “fish tank” aesthetic to a more accessible price point. While the dual-panel tempered glass design is clearly the focus, Sharkoon has engineered the internal layout to support the rising trend of back-connect (BTF) motherboards, positioning the SK6 as a budget-friendly foundation for ultra-clean builds.
The aesthetic appeal of the SK6 ARGB centres on its uninterrupted tempered glass front and side panels, providing an unobstructed view of the internal components. To maintain this look without suffocating the hardware, Sharkoon has opted for a side-panel intake strategy rather than a traditional mesh front. Out of the box, the case includes three pre-installed 120mm ARGB PWM fans. Two of these are “reverse-blade” models mounted on the side tray.
The interior can accommodate up to 9 fans. For those leaning into liquid cooling, the SK6 ARGB provides a primary 360 mm radiator mount at the top and a secondary 280 mm position on the side, allowing for dual-radiator setups typically reserved for much larger chassis. This flexibility is complemented by a main chamber that can house graphics cards up to 410 mm in length and CPU air coolers up to 170 mm tall. High-capacity power supplies are also supported, with a length limit of 235 mm.
As vendors like Asus and MSI move power and data connectors to the rear of the PCB, case manufacturers have had to adapt their tray designs to include the necessary cutouts. The SK6 ARGB is fully compatible with these standards, enabling a build that is virtually devoid of visible cabling. Storage options are equally practical, with the drive cage supporting two 3.5-inch HDDs or four 2.5-inch SSDs. The I/O panel is side-mounted and features dual USB-A ports and an audio jack. The Sharkoon SK6 ARGB is entering the market priced at €59.90.

KitGuru says: Considering its relatively low price, we wouldn't expect touches like reverse-blade fans to maintain a clean intake look. Still, Sharkoon now offers an interesting option in the entry-level segment for those who want to show off their systems and maintain a clean build.
