Sharkoon has announced the launch of two brand-new PC cases, the ELITE SHARK CA500 and the compact ELITE SHARK CM100. Both cases focus heavily on showing off your hardware with large glass panels, while also aiming to deliver strong cooling performance right out of the box.
ELITE SHARK CA500
The ELITE SHARK CA500 is the larger of the two, offering an impressive platform for high-end components. It’s clearly been designed with a focus on aesthetics and airflow.
Key Features of the ELITE SHARK CA500
- Panoramic View of Your Hardware: The seamless glass on the front and side provides an impressive 270-degree view to perfectly showcase your high-end hardware.
- Optimised Airflow: Despite the large amount of glass, cooling is tackled with a dedicated side-panel air intake and four pre-installed 120 mm ARGB fans.
- It includes a practical five-port ARGB controller with a five-port PWM fan hub to keep things tidy.
- Ideal for Water-Cooling Enthusiasts: The case offers space for the simultaneous operation of two radiators, making it perfect for custom loops.
- ATX BTF Mainboard Compatibility: The design supports modern BTF mainboards (for the ATX form factor), allowing cables and connections to be neatly concealed for excellent cable management.
- Maximum Hardware Compatibility:
- Graphics cards up to 43.7 cm in length.
- CPU coolers up to 17.6 cm in height.
- Power supply units up to 26.5 cm in length.
- Lots of Data Storage: Users can flexibly install up to two 3.5″ HDDs or up to six 2.5″ SSDs.
The Compact Option: ELITE SHARK CM100
For those looking for a slightly smaller build, the ELITE SHARK CM100 offers a spectacular showcase in a compact microATX format.
The CM100 also features continuous glass on the front and side, giving that brilliant viewing angle. Like its larger sibling, it also benefits from a side-panel air intake and four pre-installed fans. Crucially, it still has space for up to two radiators, offering a very capable cooling performance for a microATX case. It also supports the latest BTF mainboards for a clean, cable-free look.
Price and Availability
Both new cases are available now:
- ELITE SHARK CA500: Recommended retail price of €149.90.
- ELITE SHARK CM100: Recommended retail price of €129.90.
What We Think
Sharkoon has delivered two visually striking cases here. The focus on a near-uninterrupted glass view while still maintaining dedicated side air intakes suggests they’ve paid attention to the balance between looks and performance. The support for modern BTF motherboards across both models is a great feature for anyone aiming for a truly clean, professional-looking build with minimal visible cables. The larger CA500 looks like a serious option for custom water-cooling enthusiasts, while the CM100 offers strong radiator support in a much smaller footprint.
