Kolink Satellite

The entire front is essentially a large black mesh area, giving the case a very understated appearance. The I/O panel at the front edge of the lid is equipped with two USB 3.0 ports and also includes two audio connectors (In/Out), status LED indicators, as well as a power and reset button. At the rear of the lid, there is another mesh grille that is slightly elevated and attached to the case. On both sides of the case, there are ventilation grilles for cooling the components and serving as exhaust openings for the power supply.

Depending on the size of the installed ATX power supply, dual-slot graphics cards with a length of up to 280 mm can be installed in this compact case. A power supply of up to 220 mm limits the GPUs to 190 mm. With a PSU of up to 140 mm, a graphics card of up to 280 mm can then be installed. Impressive heights of up to 165 mm are possible for CPU coolers, which can be mounted on a Mini-ITX motherboard or certain Micro-ATX motherboards. Only particularly compact Micro-ATX motherboards with a maximum of three expansion slots and dimensions of 22.6 cm x 18.0 cm can be used.

Up to four fast 2.5-inch SSDs can find a home on two brackets, but they can also give way to up to two 3.5-inch hard drives. One of these brackets is located under the lid and can hold either two SSDs or two HDDs hanging underneath, while the bracket mounted on the right side can accommodate two 2.5-inch drives.

A single 120 mm case fan is installed at the rear, and for external water cooling, there are two hose pass-throughs located above the two PCI slots. The combination of understated design and extensive hardware support makes the Satellite a hidden gem among mini-performance cases.
