Versatile Case for Office, Multimedia and Gaming Whether it is a sophisticated office computer, compact multimedia station or affordable gaming PC: The V1000 from Sharkoon offers versatile solutions for individualists. With a size of only 45 x 19.5 x 40.2 cm, the micro-ATX case is small enough to fit underneath low-rise desks. However, it still offers plenty of space for convenient extras which can only be accommodated in ATX cases. This includes a tunnel on the case bottom, which allows discreet installation of the power supply, plus cabling, as well as separate dissipation of warm air. The generous space inside the V1000 offers a wide range of possibilities for installing all the necessary components and even a radiator in the front panel.
Optimum Fan Solutions for Every Application In order to provide even the most demanding components with sufficient fresh air, the front panel of V1000 consists of a full mesh grill, supporting front fan installation options. Air is drawn into the case by a pre-installed 120 mm fan and through a removable, easy-to-clean dust filter. The existing fan can be reinforced with an additional 120 mm fan. Alternatively, two 140 mm fans can be installed. For those wanting it even cooler, a 240 mm radiator can be easily installed or even a 280 mm radiator after removing the drive bay. Radiator height, including fan, can be up to a maximum of 5.9 cm. Another pre-installed 120 mm fan on the rear panel ensures the dissipation of warm air inside the case. Optionally, if needed, a 120 mm fan mounts to the metal side panel. The tunnel also receives fresh air through pre-installed fan in the front panel and through an opening on the case bottom, which is covered by a pre-installed dust filter in order to keep the case interior clean. The warm air from the tunnel completely dissipates separately and does not reach the inside of the case. This separate air circulation relieves warm air from the power supply fan as well as reduces operating noise.
Tidy Space Inside the tunnel, power supplies with a maximum length of up to 24 cm can be installed. It also includes a HDD cage, which offers room for two 3.5" or two 2.5" hard drives. In regards to fan installation, practical oval hole cutouts are provided, which allow flexible repositioning of the HDD cage. For power supplies without a separate cable management system, additional space can be created for discrete cabling. Numerous cable pass-throughs inside the case ensure that the remaining cabling can cleanly disappear behind the mainboard tray, which also contains two mounting brackets for additional 2.5" HDD/SSDs. A CPU cooler cutout is also provided for easy installation of a CPU cooler, which can have a maximum height of 15.5 cm. Maximum length of usable graphics cards is 40 cm, which can only be found in cases with ATX form factor.
Multiple Possibilities on the Front Panel Optical drives also find a home within the V1000: There is a 5.25" drive bay in the front or, optionally; one external 3.5" drive can also install using the provided 5.25" to 3.5" bay cover . If even more space is needed, for example the installation of a 280 mm radiator, the HDD mounting bracket can be easily removed. On the front panel, above the 5.25" drive bay, the microphone and headset audio ports plus two USB 3.0 ports for important peripheral devices are positioned together with the reset and power buttons. The front panel is also cableless designed and easily removed for the convenient installation of components or cleaning of the pre-installed dust filter.
