The main difference between the glass and mesh versions is the front panel and the number of fans that can be mounted on the front panel, so if you want to get the best viewing experience, we recommend checking out the glass version, which can support up to eleven 12cm fans. The Mesh version uses a ventilated front panel and can be installed with up to fourteen 12cm fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This hands-on unboxing is oriented to the most superficial display of the best glass version, the use of two-way full-transparency display glass panels so that gamers can clearly see the parts you use, the chassis itself specification of 473 x 248 x 456 mm, compared to the mainstream upright mid-tower chassis is slightly wider than the width of the point, but the DLX4000 uses the lower power supply mounting setup, so the thickness will not be as wide as the dual-cabin structure of the chassis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/81IFiTI.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/81IFiTI.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/81IFiTI.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/81IFiTI.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/81IFiTI.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 DLX4000 Glass Edition_White, dimensions 473 x 248 x 456 mm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #444444;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<span>The DLX4000 Glass Edition, with its fully translucent glass front panel, allows you to clearly see the side of the internal hardware configuration through the front, but if you really want to look at it, it's better to put it on a doll or a tower with memory for better viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The sides of the chassis are also made of fully transparent tempered glass, and the use of a screwless latch to lift the cover prevents the possibility of breaking the glass as much as possible, while tool-less disassembly completes the entire operation more quickly, and the glass side panels are equipped with a latch groove to prevent the glass from falling directly to the ground, so opening the side panels can provide greater peace of mind without fear of accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/aaAZSnh.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/aaAZSnh.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/aaAZSnh.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/aaAZSnh.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/aaAZSnh.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 Full transparency front panel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lv6jVJ6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lv6jVJ6.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lv6jVJ6.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lv6jVJ6.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lv6jVJ6.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 The glass side panels look bare.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #444444;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<span>The rear of the motherboard supports a 12cm fan and provides a 7_slot PCIe device mounting position in the factory default mode. However, if gamers choose to install a M-ATX motherboard, they can turn it into a 5_slot M-ATX mounting mode by modularizing the rear panel with a variable backplate, which is secured by a number of turnbuckle screws for easy disassembly and installation, and turn it into a 5_slot M-ATX. The 5_slot M-ATX mounting pattern allows more space for top-mounted water cooling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oVXVmVv.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oVXVmVv.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oVXVmVv.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oVXVmVv.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/oVXVmVv.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206The default ATX mounting mode has a 7_slot PCIe device mounting location behind which a 12cm fan can be installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/JqGySuL.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/JqGySuL.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/JqGySuL.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/JqGySuL.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/JqGySuL.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 Painlessly transforms into 5_slot M-ATX installation mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xmxT3xT.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xmxT3xT.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xmxT3xT.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xmxT3xT.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xmxT3xT.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206The bottom part is equipped with a back-drawer dust filter, which can be washed separately to remove dust after a period of use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/4gbQLEx.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/4gbQLEx.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/4gbQLEx.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/4gbQLEx.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/4gbQLEx.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 Bottom air intake space at a glance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #444444;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<span>The steel side panels on the back of the motherboard are equipped with two ventilation grills to provide sufficient air intake for the two fan mounting areas on the back. In addition to the 3x120\/2x140 fan mounting brackets next to the motherboard mounting location, three SSDs\/HDDs\/120mm fans can be mounted on the multifunctional bracket on the back of the motherboard, but the author recommends installing a hard disk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The reason for this is twofold. First, although the DLX4000 has a 3.5cm deep cable space at the back, the fan still has to compete with the CPU cables for cable space, and installing a fan at the back of the motherboard doesn't have much of a substantial cooling effect on the core hardware, so it makes sense to go with a more practical HDD installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SyXVAT2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SyXVAT2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SyXVAT2.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SyXVAT2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/SyXVAT2.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 Steel side plate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/zWrISxU.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/zWrISxU.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/zWrISxU.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/zWrISxU.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/zWrISxU.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 3.5cm View of the space of the hidden line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ngsYN12.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ngsYN12.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ngsYN12.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ngsYN12.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ngsYN12.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>The \u2206 Multi-Function Bracket can mount three SSD\/HDD\/120mm Fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"photoswipe-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FsDLaQV.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FsDLaQV.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FsDLaQV.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FsDLaQV.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FsDLaQV.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span>\u2206 Side fan cable routing holes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #444444;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<span>The DLX4000's under-mounted power supply mounting space supports ATX 265mm depth, which is plenty deep enough to hide and tuck cables.

At this price point, the structural design of the DLX4000 itself is indeed worthy of praise, but I'm sure gamers aren't blind to the fact that the darkFlash DLX4000 does have a lot of design cues from its competitors, including double-sided glass with a downward-mounted power supply and variable mounting modes. This includes double-sided glass with a lower power supply mount and a changeable mounting pattern structure, similar concepts that can be found in various products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To put it bluntly, darkFlash combines the advantages of other people worth learning together to form a complete structure and there is nothing to be critical of, and there is absolutely no problem with the cooling performance if you want to have the convenience of the structure, so at a price of 3190, the darkFlash DLX4000 is really worth recommending.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But! The chassis is not flawless, firstly, just like what I said earlier, many of the designs have been seen on competitors and are quite iconic, so I am looking forward to the future darkFlash can bring its own most iconic new design to gamers, secondly, the paint quality of the chassis can be better, darkFlash's main chassis products are concentrated in the $1,000~$2,500 range, and when the chassis pricing increases to $3,000, consumers will naturally expect the appearance quality to be improved. When the chassis pricing is raised to three thousand dollars, consumers naturally hope that the appearance of the quality has also been improved, but the author in this curry chassis baking paint as well as coloring details are still seen a little bit of defects or incomplete, although the vast majority of them are flawless, but obsessive-compulsive disorder will still be affected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The darkFlash DLX4000 Glass Edition supports up to E-ATX motherboards, has 11 120 fans, is compatible with two 360\/280 water coolers, and has a superb display and variable mounting structure, which makes it an eye-catching product with the above features.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time, we are going to unveil darkFlash's new dual-view glass frame DLX4000 Glass Edition chassis, which is capable of installing up to 11 120mm fans, E-ATX, 360\/280mm water cooler, 180mm air-cooled tower cooler, and 425mm graphics card, etc. The structural design of this chassis also brings a great experience during the installation process, and it also has a superb display. The chassis has a strong display that allows you to clearly view the hardware details inside the chassis, so let's take a look at this chassis today, shall we? darkFlash DLX4000 Glass Edition chassis specifications: Dimensions: 473 (L) x 248 (W) x 456 (H) mm Color: Black, White Material: 0.8mm SPCC, Steel, Tempered Glass Motherboard: E-ATX, ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX CPU air-cooled: up to 180mm Graphics card: 425mm Power Supply: ATX 265mm Fan Mounting Positions (Side+Upper+Rear+Bottom+Back): 140mm 2+2+0+0+1, 120mm 3+3+1+1+1+3 Water Cooling Vent Support: Upper 360\/280mm, Side 360\/280mm Upper I\/O Ports: USB 3.0 x2, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C x1, HD AUDIO hard drive and storage slots: three 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch DarkFlash DLX4000 Glass Edition chassis unboxing DarkFlash launched the new chassis DLX4000 at the end of last year, and at the same time, the introduction of black and white color options, there are also two options for the glass version and the Mesh version of the glass and the Mesh version of the most important difference between the front panel form and the number of fans can be installed, so that you can get the best of both worlds. The main difference between the glass and mesh versions is the front panel and the number of fans that can be installed. If you want to get the best viewing experience, we recommend checking out the glass version, but it supports a maximum of eleven 12cm fans, whereas the mesh version uses a ventilated front panel, and a maximum of fourteen 12cm fans can be installed. The glass version is the most transparent version, using a two-way fully transparent display glass panel to allow gamers to clearly see the parts they are using. The chassis itself is 473 x 248 x 456 mm, which is slightly wider than the mainstream upright mid-tower chassis, but the DLX4000 uses a lower power supply mounting setup, so the thickness will not be as wide as the dual-cabin chassis. \u2206 The DLX4000 Glass Edition is white in color and measures 473 x 248 x 456 mm. The DLX4000 Glass Edition has a full-transparency glass front panel, which allows you to see the internal configuration of the hardware clearly through the front side, but if you really want to look at it, it is better to put dolls or towers with memory for viewing purposes. The sides of the chassis are also made of fully transparent tempered glass, and the use of a screwless latch to lift the cover prevents the possibility of breaking the glass as much as possible, while tool-less disassembly can complete the entire operation faster, and the glass side panels are equipped with a latch groove to prevent the glass from falling directly to the ground, so opening the side panels can be more reassuring without fear of accidents. \u2206 Full transparency front panel. \u2206 Glass side panels are fully transparent. The rear of the motherboard supports a 12cm fan and provides a 7_slot PCIe device mounting position in the factory default mode. However, if gamers choose to install the M-ATX motherboard, the modular rear panel can be turned into a 5_slot M-ATX mounting mode by modifying the rear panel with a number of turnbuckle screws, which makes it easy to dismantle and install. The 5_slot M-ATX mounting mode allows more space for top-mounted water cooling. \u2206The default ATX mounting mode has a 7_slot PCIe device mounting position, and a 12cm fan can be installed at the rear. \u2206 Painless transformation to 5_slot M-ATX mounting mode. \u2206 The bottom of the case is equipped with a rear dust filter, which can be washed separately to remove dust after a period of time. \u2206 The bottom air intake space is shown at a glance. The steel side panel on the back of the motherboard is equipped with two ventilation holes to provide sufficient air intake for the two fan mounting areas on the back of the motherboard. In addition to the 3x120\/2x140 fan mounting brackets next to the motherboard mounting location, the multifunctional bracket on the back of the motherboard can be used to mount up to three SSDs\/HDDs\/120mm fans, but the author recommends installing a hard disk. The reason for this is twofold. Firstly, although the DLX4000 has a 3.5cm deep cable space behind the motherboard, the fan still has to compete with the CPU cables for cable space, and installing a fan behind the motherboard does not have much of a cooling effect on the core hardware, so it would be more reasonable to install a HDD for a more practical purpose. \u2206 Steel side panel. \u2206 3.5cm cable storage space at a glance. \u2206 Multi-function bracket for three SSDs\/HDDs\/120mm fans. \u2206 Side fan routing holes. The DLX4000's under-mounted power supply mounting space supports ATX 265mm deep, which is deep enough to hide and tuck cables. The power supply is held in place by the rear drawer mounting plate and then pushed into the chassis from the rear, but it is recommended that the function brackets on the back of the motherboard be removed first for the best mounting experience. \u2206 265mm power compartment space. \u2206 265mm power compartment space. \u2206 Power cable routing space. The chassis I\/O Poart is located on the front top cover, which is more convenient for users who are used to placing the desktop under the desktop, but during use, you need to pay attention to dust and whether the master of the house will get into the ports, which provide 2x USB 3.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, headphones, microphone, \u2206 2x USB 3.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10 Gb\/s). The fan mount on the top of the chassis is noticeably shifted outward, as close as possible to the locking holes in the glass side panel to avoid water...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":525,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[27,110,109,28,111,89,31],"class_list":["post-524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case","tag-darkflash","tag-dlx4000","tag-109","tag-28","tag-111","tag-89","tag-31"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcunboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
