Kolink Observatory Z Mesh ARGB Super Midi Tower Case Review

A Closer Look – Interior

The interior looks great, with lots of room for big hardware thanks to a mostly flat interior. There’s a large cut-out right behind the motherboard, which should allow for easy CPU cooler installations.

There are no traditional rubber grommets at the side of the motherboard, but rather just a larger rail covering a full-height opening for cable routing. This works well enough though and should make cable management pretty easy.

There’s also a pair of vertical mounts on the rail, which are perfect for fitting liquid cooling hardware. Furthermore, there’s a GPU anti-sag arm on here too, which is always handy.

Up in the front, you’ll find plenty of space for large radiators, and the fans are installed on the outside of the chassis frame, and the front panel shroud beyond that. This means the interior of the case is much cleaner as a result. The 120mm fans are nicely spaced too, ensuring airflow at all levels within the case, but you could adjust their position if you so desire.

The PSU shroud is solid enough, offering a few cable grommets at the back, and a larger cut-out to clear any front-mounted cooling.

Towards the back, we can see those pre-installed fans more closely, and they do look rather cool actually. They have anti-vibration mounts on both sides and all corners, a nice circular trim, milky white blades, and a mirror-like centre; they should light up nicely when I power up the build.

Behind the motherboard, there’s ample space for cable routing. However, the full-length PSU shroud is going to give you lots of space to cram excess cables out of sight.

There are large Velcro straps pre-installed, and all stock cables are finished in black too, making them nice and stealthy and that should keep your build looking smart.

There’s a Kolink Umbra ARGB Controller here too, allowing you to take command of all the lighting effects via the RGB button on the front panel, via your motherboard, and via their downloadable software.

Storage is well catered for, with some dedicated SSD mounts right behind the motherboard.

As well as a movable/removable cage of 3.5″ mounts below the PSU shroud.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
