Introduction

I would like to thank darkFlash for supplying the review sample.

The DY470 is darkFlash unique entry into the dual-chamber fray. With angled panels and an asymmetrical shape it is meant to stand out, while still showing off all your hardware not just through the two main panels, but also through the top thanks to a third glass piece. The DY470 also allows for two 360 mm AIOs or radiators, and darkFlash offers the chassis in either black or white. We received the white DY470 for review, so lets dive right in.
