Introduction

PC cases are all basically the same. They are the same shape, they have the same inside design, and most features are the same. The things that set them apart are color and outside design. The Tagan Black Pearl not only sets it self apart in outside design, but inside it is something that I have never seen before. It has to be one of the most unique cases I have seen. So let's take a look.

Packaging

The Black Pearl case comes in your standard PC case box. On the front there is a picture of the case. The back of the box is basically the same. On the side of the case is where you will find all of the specifications and features listed.


Opening up the box the Black Pearl is protected by the typical Styrofoam and plastic. Along with the instructions inside of the case you will find a bag of accessories, mounting plate, tube grommets, and an extension cable for the fans.
