Silverstone is known for pushing the envelope with unique internal layouts. The Kublai KL04 series does just that within the bounds of a mid-tower. We take a closer look at the case to see, if Silverstone has done it again, or if they have not managed to reinvent the wheel this time around.

I actually have this case(one with a window, however), and it should be mentioned that the 2.5" drive cage can be installed into the bottom of the removable 3.5" drive cage to save room and help conceal cables. For all of the case's shortcomings, there is enough attention to detail as well features, well-thought-out design and great cable management to more than warrant its price tag.
It's also one of the few cases out there that can handle EATX with 8+ expansion slots.
Of course, these are just my opinions, but it is a very solid case and should not be overlooked by anyone considering buying a case.
