SilverStone Kublai KL03 Case Review

“Overall, we’re not very impressed with the KL03, it’s based on an outdated design and it shows in the feature set, easiness of use and production quality. While the hotplug SATA function is nice, it doesn’t solve any issues.

Last but not least, the case back in 2004 could be had for as little as ~€100. The Silverstone KL03 sells for €150. You get a fancier front panel, 120mm fan support for the extra cash, but the original design still remains more than 4 years old.

When we asked Silverstone their motivation for building this case, they told us that the Kublai series is to bridge the gap between their high end enclosures and the entry level models found in stores. Unfortunately the KL03 doesn’t really deliver, luckily the other two Kublai cases, KL01/KL02 stand a better chance. For the price, there are better choices for a mid-tower case than the KL03.”
