INTRODUCTION

    If someone had told me even just 10 years ago that at some point there would be PC cases in the market made out of wood I probably wouldn't had paid attention. Still today there are quite a few PC cases in the market that feature wooden parts and even though they are clearly not for everyone if you happen to like wood or if your home or office has wooden furniture one such case would feel right at home. The Rebel C70 RGB by Sharkoon combines aluminum, wood and RGB lighting and well, that's what we'll be looking at today.

    Since 2003, Sharkoon has been developing “Designed in Germany” gaming products, which are popular in the worldwide gaming community due to an exceptional combination of high-performance and affordability. Stylish PC cases, precision keyboards or mice and comfortable gaming chairs – all these represent an elegant blend of high-quality design and modern technology. Numerous awards from the international trade press underscore the performance and quality of the Sharkoon brand.

    Much like many other PC cases today the Sharkoon Rebel C70G RGB (available in black and white colors) features a side tempered glass panel (C70M mesh side panel version also available), mesh top, removable front/bottom dust filters, dual-chamber design (removable front end) and a total of four 120mm PWM ARGB pre-mounted fans. What the C70G RGB has that many others don't is a mesh fascia made of aluminum and wood, adjustable graphics card holder and an 8-way 3-pin RGB controller (22 effects stated in the product page, 20 on the box). In terms of available interior space, the Rebel C70G RGB can be equipped with up to ATX sized motherboards, up to eleven 120mm fans (or five 140mm fans and five 120mm fans) or 3 radiators (240/360mm), three 2.5" and three 3.5" drives, 165mm tall CPU coolers, 400mm long graphics cards and up to 270mm long power supply units. Yes, the C70G ARGB may not be the largest midi tower out there, but it does seem to tick most boxes so let's get close and personal with it.
