Sharkoon T9 Mid Tower ATX PC Chassis Review
Chris Hadley / 12 years ago
The left hand side of the case here comes with a large acrylic window held on with 6 bolts around its edge. Simple yet a touch of class.
The other side of the case is completely clear of any grills or vents, a plain side panel keeps everything behind hidden out of view.
On the underside, we can see to the left between the two front feet, the four screw holes for attaching an SSD to the case. There is also a removable dust filter underneath the power supply.
Like the right side of the case, the top is plain with no grills or vents.
The back of the case is business as usual with seven expansion bays each with a coloured mesh plate to allow airflow out of the case. The rear fan is held on with four rubber securing pins to reduce vibration and below this are the two rubber grommets for passing through water cooling pipes and also the USB 3.0 front panel cable for connecting to the back of the motherboard.
The front of the case is made up of 9 drive bay sized grills, the bottom 6 of which cover the two fans behind as standard. The front I/O panel is located at the top of the case with the power and reset buttons further down.
The front I/O panel on the T9 comprises of three USB2.0 and one USB3.0 ports, audio jacks and an LED to either side. Both LEDs indicate power whilst the right hand LED also acts as a HDD activity indicator.
To either side of the front panel are the power and reset buttons each indicated with a symbol above them.
The bottom of the front panel holds the only point on this case where we see any form of branding. Not that this is a bad thing though, it’s simple and subtle.
