Introduction

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


Silverstone always aims to reinvent the computer chassis and is one of the companies known for their willingness to go with unusual and unique designs. The Kublai KL04 - available with a window or solid side panel is just that as well, offering various features and design choices unique to a mid-tower case.

Special Features

• Incredible ten 3.5” hard drive capacity
• Flexible multi 2.5” drive slots
• Beautiful SilverStone-styled front panel free of venting holes
• Positive pressure design for effective dust reduction
• Motherboard back plate opening for quick CPU cooler assembly
• Support eight expansion slots cards up to 17 inches long
• Quick access and removal for fan filters
• Smart backside cable routing design

Packaging

Silverstone is one of the few companies still employing full color packaging for many of their cases. With such a box being used for the Kublai KL04, an image of the chassis can be found on the front along with a shot of the inside on the other side. Silverstone has also added carrying holes to the sides, where both specifications and special features are listed.


The KL04 is held in place by two sturdy Styrofoam spacers, with a plastic bag further protecting it from scratches or finger prints.

You will receive a surprisingly thick manual in multiple languages along with an assortment of all-black screws. Silverstone also ships 5.25 to 3.5 inch rails and the appropriate front cover, so that you may convert one of the larger bays if need be.
