Silverstone KL03 Case Review :: System Build

Author: Ben Sun · 05-27-2008 · Category: Hardware - Cases

The system we decided to build is a basic system with the components necessary to play any game out there today. The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU with 6MB of L2 cache. The Raptor 74GB drive from WD is still among the fastest hard drives available. The 8800GTS from EVGA is a decent mid-range card today and the PC Power and Cooling 1KW PSU is perfect for providing power.

Thrasher2 our resident system builder had no issues with the case as it was roomier than most mid-Tower cases and is tool-less. The drive bays are easy to work with and the design is easy to work with as well. The PSU from PC Power and Cooling had no issues fitting into the PSU area of the case. The installation of two 120mm fans into the side panel showed no issues.
