SilverStone Kublai KL06 Micro-ATX Chassis Review

Complete System

Firstly, your PSU installs in the top of the chassis, with the fan mounted upwards, taking full advantage of the top ventilation and dust filter.

There’s a multitude of cable routing options, making it easy to get the right cables going where you need them, without leaving excess cables in the main section of the chassis, where they could interfere with airflow.

Total build time was a nice and easy 25 minutes and as you can see, the end result is a very clean and nicely laid out system. The hard drive bays are set just low enough to leave room for up to two super-long graphics cards.

Cable management is holding up nicely and the pass through for the GPU power cable is especially welcome. GPU clearance is excellent, even our 308mm Sapphire R9 270X proved no trouble for this rather compact chassis design and it’s even better that I didn’t have to remove any of the hard drive bays to accommodate, as is often the case with chassis in this form factor.

The tool free design of the hard drive bays is very cool, you just slot the drive in sideways and it clips into place; this makes installing or swapping drives a very easy task.

There’s enough room here for a dual GPU setup or for any other kind of expansion card you may need.

Cable routing around the motherboard is very good and there were no issues getting the side panel back in place with the excess cables tucked behind the motherboard.

The top panel now back in place.

The side panel back in place. Overall a very clean-looking build with a neat and tidy, professional looking exterior; a great system build overall.
