Jonsbo Intros TK-3 Pillarless Front-left Corner Case

[btarunr]

We've seen several new mid-tower case releases around the concept of a pillarless front-left corner, which allows glass panels along the front- and left panels seamlessly merge, creating a better view of the hardware inside. Jonsbo is among the few case designers that have implemented a more perfect version of this concept—to use a single piece of glass that curves along the corner, to eliminate the edge between what would otherwise be two separate glass panels. The new Jonsbo TK-3, the case behind this concept, comes in two trims—black and white. It features a vertically-partitioned layout. The compartment on the left with the spacious motherboard tray, has no vertical expansion slots, but plenty of room for even the largest ASUS ROG Strix graphics card, as shown below.

The motherboard tray recesses toward the front of the tray, creating room for a liquid-cooling radiator and its fans, such that they don't get in the way of the graphics card. The left compartment (behind the motherboard tray), has plenty of crawlspaces behind the motherboard tray, to route your cables. The PSU bay is oriented sideways, directly behind the upper half of the motherboard tray; and a drive cage with two 3.5-inch bays is located below it. The entire left side-panel is perforated. Besides the side-facing 3x 120 mm vent that holds a 360 mm radiator, there are two additional such sets of 120 mm vents along the bottom- and top panels, making up the case's ventilation system. Front-panel connectivity includes two USB 3.2 type-A ports, and a type-C port, besides a 4-pole headset jack. The case measures 288 mm x 438 mm x 415 mm (WxDxH). The company didn't reveal pricing.

That bent TG will make it an expensive O11 knock-off.

Oh wow, it looks so clean and pretty when every component is powered wireles... Wait a second!

nice looking case with Asus ROG Strix (Possiblly RTX 4080S or 4090 )

It looks pretty, but that plastic ensures there no front-to-back airflow. You'll be cleaning that filter on the bottom every week.

Given there are punch out PCI brackets plus it has stupid PCI mounting system and HDD cage found on cheap cases its just a mish-mash of cheap PC case design coupled with current trend of "pillarless" front.

Edit: their website also has listing for TK-2 case with similar design for front.

It's been available on Aliexpress for about a year, I think it is $150 or less

That might be the TK-2 case which also has received an update.

If it looks like an oven, it cooks like an oven.

This side fan case trend needs to stop. They largely suck for airflow than traditional forward to back cases

Well, I'd have been way more impressed if they had managed to make the front section drilled out with a fine mesh pattern to allow for excellent airflow, but as it is now, I would not touch it with YOUR 10ft pole....

Also, if you buy this case, you'd better pray that you never, ever break that curved panel or over-tighten the screws...cause replacing it will probably cost as much as the entire case

At least with Corsairs new cases they were smart enough to release an airflow version. Of which im considering getting.
