Kolink Rocket Aluminium Mini-ITX Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 6 years ago
A Closer Look – Interior
Despite the compact size, the Rocket is actually a dual-chamber chassis. Seriously, they split small in half, and still make it work! On this side, you’ll be able to mount your expansion card.
The chassis features a pre-installed high-quality SLI extension cable. These cables do not come cheap, and it explains a big chunk of the retail price of the Kolink chassis.
What this means though, is that you can quickly drop in your GPU on this side of the chassis, and plug in the cable to the motherboard on the other side. It’s going to speed up the install, and let you get more hardware in this compact chassis.
Built-in Riser Cable
On the other side, there’s plenty of room for a mini-ITX motherboard. Furthermore, the stand-off pegs are pre-installed, so everything will drop right in place come install time. There’s room up front for the PSU, and the bracket there is removable for an easy install. You SSD’s mount in the bass of the chassis, just remove the bottom panel and they sandwich between the two layers of the bottom panel.
Just below everything, you’ll find a slim 80mm fan, which will just help keep airflow moving, but otherwise, the passive ventilation of the chassis will allow your CPU cooler and GPU fans to do their job anyway.
