Cooltek K4 Mid-Tower Case Released

btarunr · Nov 13, 2009, 10:04 AM

The newest case under the Cooltek brand was announced by PC-Cooling. The Cooltek K4 is a mid-range, mid-tower, which provides the essentials of casing in its 430 (H) x 190 (W) x 480 (D) mm form, weighing 5.2 kg. The case offers three externernal 5.25" drive bays, one external, and six internal 3.5" bays, with tool-free retention mechanism for the drives. The case, along with its interiors, seems to be fabricated entirely with SECC-steel. While it does not include any fans, the case does provide room for front and rear fans, along with two on the side-panel. The Cooltek K4 is priced under 45 EUR.

An okay entry level case.

That's good lookin' for a cheap case, shame it doesn't come with a PSU or any fans.

WarEagleAU · Nov 13, 2009, 05:41 PM

painted interior would be nice. Never heard of Cooltek though.

Looks a bit flimsy, not that most general users would care

tkpenalty · Nov 14, 2009, 04:16 AM

wait, what? 45 euros for that?

Good luck fitting a long graphics card in that case (I doubt anyone who owns long graphics cards would buy this case anyway).

Yeah at first I though it was a bit pricey for what you get, but then again it is tooless and provides some cable management. It seems more reasonable if it were around 35 euros.

The front intake fan spot is a bit pointless if you ask me... there are similar (and cheaper) cases where the front fan actually does move air into the case.
