Raijintek’s products have always been able to shine with a very good price-performance ratio in recent years. No matter if it was cases, cooling solutions or fans, the testers always agreed that you get a lot of product for your money. Whether this is also the case with the Paean C7, you can read in the review.
You can tell at first glance which icon the Paean C7 is based on. But as sophisticated as the O11 Mini is, the limitation to a small SFX power supply has always been a horse’s foot in my eyes, which the Raijintek clone doesn’t have to carry around. It’s not that SFX power supplies are fundamentally bad, but price and selection are much more attractive in the same power class with the widely available ATX power supplies in most cases. The Show and Shine case, which normally costs just under 80 Euros, is currently on sale for just 55 Euros – so it’s high time to take a closer look.
Unboxing
The Paean C7 comes in a simple and unexpectedly compact box.
Like 99 like 99% of all cases, it is enclosed in polystyrene and protected from dust and fingerprints with a dust protection foil.
The front and sides are made of 4mm thick tempered glass, which is of course covered with a protective film when delivered.
No buttons, no playful design elements, just a “clean” front.
At the latest when looking at the rear, even the last one will realize that it is a somewhat wider case with two chambers.
The glass side panel is solid and makes a valuable impression. Nothing is hooky or jammed during assembly and disassembly, either.
The front could most likely be disassembled as well, but I had no reason to do so. On the bottom, 120mm fans, radiators or hard drives can be mounted, though the latter would preclude the inclusion of a fan or radiator.
On the top of the case, we find a modern front I/O, which, in addition to USB 3.0 and USB-C, is also equipped with an additional button for switching the RGB lighting. However, this can only be used if the RGB controller (not included) has a corresponding port.
By the way, the lid is equipped with a magnetic dust filter:
The same applies to the bottom:
The rear side panel is also equipped with generous air intakes.
There are no dust filters here, but an unexpectedly high material stiffness. The sheet steel is quite thick and looks extremely stable due to the bends at the top and bottom. There is also no annoying jamming or hooking on this side when attaching and removing the side panel.
Without the side panel, we have a clear view of the SSD holder.
Two 2.5″ drives can be mounted on this. Since the bracket can be removed, mounting the SSDs outside the case is convenient. The bracket is also used for cable management to a small extent, as will be seen later.
Behind the bracket, you can already see the openings for the cables in the “mainboard wall”.
If the bracket is removed, the access to the outlets is free.
Besides the case, a spartan manual and some mounting accessories are included.
If you want to know exactly: These numbers of the respective parts are included:
