Sharkoon Intros Rebel C70 RGB Case with Norwegian Wood Aesthetic

[btarunr]

The Sharkoon Rebel C70 RGB is a new ATX mid-tower case that features a Norwegian wood design element along its front panel. Unlike the Fractal Design North that does the same thing with floating wood slats surrounded by a metal frame; the Rebel C70 RGB uses flattened flats that extend to the edges of the panel, with a contrasting matte black accents toward the sides. Behind the slats is a mesh intake for the three front fan mounts, which come with pre-installed 120 mm RGB fans that, along with the rear 120 mm exhaust, light up in a warm white (2700K) color out of the box, to pair well with the aesthetic, although to can configure it to pretty much any color. An 8-channel ARGB controller is included with the case, which can sync with a 3-pin ARGB connection with your motherboard, and contain its own 22 lighting presets that you can cycle between with a button on the case.

Inside, the case provides room for ATX (or smaller) motherboards with 7 expansion slots; graphics cards up to 40 cm in length (maximum clearance); and CPU coolers up to 16.5 cm in height. A graphics card reinforcement brace comes included, which counteracts PCB bending over time. There are an impressive 11 fan mounts in all. These include three 120 mm or 140 mm along the front; three 120 mm along the side; three 120 mm or 140 mm along the top; one 120/140 mm along the bottom; and the 120 mm rear exhaust. Storage options include three 3.5-inch bays and three 2.5-inch mounts. Front-panel connectivity includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps) type-C; three USB 3.0 type-A, and a 4-pole 3.5 mm headset jack. The case measures 47.9 cm x 23 cm x 49.5 cm (LxWxH), dry-weighing 9.3 kg.



Update Feb 20th: Sharkoon has priced the Rebel C70 RGB at €119, including taxes.

Slapping wood in front of an otherwise standard case is just too lazy for me. I want more than that if it's going to match, for instance, my study room.

Currently, I have a 4000D hidden away in a corner to power things up. I would like it to be a part of the room than hidden within.

Dear Sharkoon - you're not Fractal Design. You never were Fractal Design, and you never will be.

Wow, copypasta much Sharkoon?
This reminds me of when Thermaltake started ripping off Case Labs.

Missing in this article is the fact that there is a Mesh side-panel option (Rebel C70M vs the tempered Glass Rebel C70G depicted) for those who prefer airflow to visual aesthetic. Could even turn all fans into intakes for maximum positive pressure, or use magnetic fan mounts to stick a fan on the mesh panel to blow or suck air to/from the GPU (assuming the mesh panel is steel).

Its a wood aesthetic until you rotate the case 90 degrees. Then its just a black Aluminum case.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps) type-C; three USB 3.0 type-A

I didn't see this number of USB ports on the photos of case?
