Kolink Observatory Z Mesh ARGB Super Midi Tower Case Review

Complete System
It’s no surprise that the build looks as clean as it does, as the Mesh really does have everything in the right place. One thing I did miss, however, was that it said it supported E-ATX motherboards, but it came at the cost of the cable sorting bar that was to the right of the motherboard.
As you can see, I had to remove it. Thankfully, it’s five quick screws at the back and it pops off. Regardless, it still looks neat and tidy, so I can’t complain. For ATX, you can keep the bar, and the sag bracket in place, but E-ATX, it has gotta go.
The PSU shroud is great, as it made light work of any excess cables. It doesn’t matter if you have an ugly-ass PSU either because there’s absolutely no way you’ll see it in this case!
Cable routing is decent, there are routing holes above, below and along the sides of the motherboard. Admittedly, it looks a bit naff here up close, but by the time the tempered glass is on, these little details blend into the shadows.
What does matter are that all cables are barely showing, with nothing impeding airflow or the aesthetics of the fans.
The Noctua U12S fit easily enough, and the case is wide enough for something larger such as the D15S if you so desire.
As for the pre-installed fans, they deliver a lot of airflow as standard. Three fans in the front are more than enough airflow for virtually any PC build. With the rear and, and the mesh top, there are no issues with getting the heat away from your system either.
The fans look amazing too, with milky white blades that glow with vibrant colours, and a cool infinity mirror central section that adds cool depth effects to your case interior.
The colours look stunning, and because of the included hub, syncing all your lights is a breeze. You can also control them from the RGB button on the front panel, so you don’t even need desktop software if you don’t want it.
Overall, a very clean and stylish build!
