Introduction
I would like to thank
darkFlash for supplying the review sample.
The darkFlash DLX4000 represents a capable, all metal chassis which marries plenty of glass into the design so that you may show off your hardware without any visual obstacles in the way, thanks to the two paneled design. Available in both black and white as well as with a mesh front instead of the clear glass variant, the darkFlash DLX4000 really tries to cover all the bases for potential buyers, so let's dive right in. We received the white variant of the DLX4000 for review.

Packaging
The DLY4000 ships in a brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on both larger panels. The sides go into a bit of details on its features and also list a specifications table. Carrying holes make it easy to transport the package from the post office to your final destination. Our sample was opened up numerous times it seems, as there are various layers of tape on the exterior of the box.
The case itself is held in place and further secured from the perils of shipping using foam spacers. A large accessories box also comes sandwiched in the front section of these spacers. The fact that the spacers were applied incorrectly to the front and back of the case instead of the top and bottom further underscores the fact that someone had previously unboxed it.
