Renowned for its innovative and high-performance contributions to the world of PC cases, Kolink has created the Balance Midi-Tower as a feature-rich gaming case. This case may have a stunning exterior, but behind this facade lies a lot of space for powerful gaming hardware as well. All this gaming goodness can be admired through the tempered glass side panel, and as it supports motherboards up to E-ATX in form factor, there will be plenty to look at. A thoughtfully included PSU shroud also helps users stash away unsightly cables.

The front of the case, with its fine mesh and air vents, helps ensure not only good airflow, but it also helps accentuate the digitally addressable RGB-LED strip and the look of the case as a whole. A switch on the I/O panel allows the lighting to be controlled. Alternatively, the strip can be connected directly to the motherboard and controlled that way instead. The overall ventilation of the case is also helped by the presence of a fine mesh with an integrated dust filter on the top. A pre-installed 120 mm fan is also equipped with dARGB lighting.



Even though the outer dimensions of the case are those of a Midi-Tower, Balance uses its clever design in such a way as to make space for even an E-ATX board if necessary. Graphics cards up to 370 mm in length will fit comfortably, and even tall CPU coolers up to 162 mm in height will fit. One of the highlights of the case is the fact that GPUs can be mounted vertically using a PCI-E riser cable (sold separately) - meaning that users are really free to make their system stand out from the crowd. A PSU shroud conceals the power supply and the HDD cage, where two 3.5"- or two 2.5" drives can be installed. Two more 2.5" SSDs can be installed to the rear of the motherboard.
