![]() The KL05 is targeted at mid-range PC builds with an entry-to-mid level budget for the case. SilverStone is still running two optical drive slots (more targeted toward non-US markets), offers six modular HDD/SSD sleds in the main compartment, and runs two SSD sleds on the rear of the case. The design is more “traditional” – by which we mean it's a step away from the S340 and subsequent shroud-equipped followers. SilverStone Kublai KL05 Layout Walkthrough & Cable Management It's cramped and oddly positioned, and overall not particularly functional or pretty. Inclusion of a side window (on the “BW” model) does expand the market to the more gamer-type users, but we're not excited about the window's implementation. The KL05 is the type of enclosure that could be deployed in an office/work environment without garnering too much attention. Radiators can be readily mounted above the chassis and within the large top panel, allowing for cleaner builds and isolated cooling. An easily removable front dust filter allows quick cleaning of front intake, and an equally easy-to-remove top panel grants instant access to the 240 or 280mm radiator mounting slot. The paint is consistently colored across all materials, which is kind of a rare thing in these $70 cases. The exterior of the case is relatively inoffensive and plain, but it's got discreet stylization on the front panel. The top panel also contains ample space for almost all liquid cooling radiators, sans a few odd-ones-out like the Kuhler series. The top panel impresses us most: Rather than using plastic 'alligator' clips, the top panel slides into place on rails and is secured with thumbscrews – no risk of ripping off during transport, and no broken clips after a few remove/install cycles. Paneling is thick and sturdy plastic (top/front) and steel (sides), with clean edges and reasonably small panel gaps.
