PC Case Sharkoon S1000 Tower Black

The Sharkoon S1000 Tower Black is a compact Micro-ATX PC case that introduces an internal tunnel design to house the power supply and hard drives at the case bottom. This layout keeps the PSU and storage devices out of sight while providing a practical cable management system with multiple openings and recesses to maintain tidy cabling and optimal internal airflow. The tunnel fits power supplies up to 20 cm in length. The mobile HDD cage is secured with thumbscrews and can be moved up to 4 cm toward the front panel to accommodate longer PSUs or additional cable space. The case supports graphics cards up to 40 cm in length and CPU coolers up to 15.5 cm in height.

Advantages

The S1000 offers a space-efficient layout with an integrated tunnel that improves component concealment and airflow. Pre-installed 120 mm fans and accessible dust filters help maintain cooling and simplify maintenance. Tool-free mounting options for 3.5" drives, removable modular 5.25" bay and space for two 2.5" drives provide flexible storage configurations. The compact design still allows installation of radiators up to 240 mm at the front, with the option to remove the 5.25" bay for additional clearance when fitting larger radiators.

Suitable for

• Compact Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX gaming and productivity builds
• Systems requiring concealed cable management and improved airflow
• Builds with multiple HDDs and SSDs where tool-free installation is preferred
• Water-cooled setups using a front 240 mm radiator (with modular bay removed if needed)

How to use

Install a Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboard on the tray and route front-panel connectors to the appropriate 19-pin USB header and audio headers on the mainboard. Mount a compatible power supply into the bottom tunnel (maximum length 20 cm) and slide the 3.5" drives onto the tool-free rails inside the tunnel. Secure the mobile HDD cage with thumbscrews and, if needed, move it up to 4 cm forward to create extra space for cables or longer PSUs. Fit 2.5" SSDs to the back of the motherboard tray or use the modular 5.25" bay for additional storage. Install GPUs up to 40 cm and CPU coolers up to 15.5 cm. For water cooling, mount a 240 mm radiator at the front; remove the 5.25" bay if additional clearance is required.

Recommendations

Maintain the two accessible dust filters (front and bottom) by cleaning them regularly to preserve optimal airflow and cooling performance. Use the cable-management openings and recesses to route cables through the tunnel to keep the main compartment unobstructed.
