BITFENIX’S OFFICIAL description of the new Dawn TG case is a little… peculiar. It might be slam poetry. There’s something in there about a “breeze of sunlight,” whatever that is. It also mentions a “new era of renaissance” when it comes to case design aesthetics, and it actually might be right. The Dawn TG is surprisingly innovative, with some good ideas, and an appealing visual design that brings a lot of lighting without looking obnoxious.
Of course, the lighting is the main selling point. We’re frequently skeptical of cases with integrated lighting beyond RGB fans, but BitFenix has come up with a solution that looks great without being complicated; a concealed light strip runs up the front corner of the case, shining through the diagonal patterns on the front and right-hand glass panels. It’s understated and stylish.
There’s a lot of cables in this case, which makes pairing the RGB lighting with your mobo for software control a hassle. Three fans means more cables, too, with two plain black fans at the front of the case and an RGB fan at the rear.
