Darkflash DY450 computer case without fans, ATX, black

Darkflash DY450 is an ATX mid-tower computer case in black with a tempered glass side panel and a steel vented front. The design combines a minimalist exterior with a spacious interior that supports ATX, Micro-ATX and ITX motherboards. The chassis accepts multiple storage drives and long graphics cards, and includes a removable bottom dust filter and basic front-panel connection cables. The product is supplied without fans, so cooling components must be installed separately. Note: to enable full display functionality, download the required driver from the manufacturer's website.

Advantages

The case offers flexible cooling options with support for up to eight fans and side-mounted radiators up to 480 mm. Its tempered glass side panel provides a clear view of internal components while the vented steel front maintains airflow. The interior layout allows for straightforward cable management and installation of multiple 3.5" and 2.5" drives. Removable dust filtration on the bottom simplifies maintenance and helps protect components.

Mount storage drives in the designated 3.5" and 2.5" bays, and install the graphics card up to 420 mm in length in the expansion slots. Plan fan placement or radiator installation on the side, rear and PSU compartments depending on your cooling requirements; note that the case is shipped without fans. Connect front-panel cables (USB 3.0, USB-C, HD Audio) to the motherboard and use the fan speed adjustment buttons on the front panel to control airflow.

Usage recommendations

For best cooling performance, choose a balanced combination of intake and exhaust fans and consider a side-mounted radiator up to 480 mm for liquid cooling. Clean the removable bottom dust filter regularly to maintain airflow and component longevity. Verify GPU and PSU lengths against the specified maximums before installation.
