Kolink Observatory Lite: Form and function in abundance

The digitally addressable RGB-LED fans, 4 of which are preinstalled, are controlled by the supplied remote & RGB hub. Alternatively, the fans can be hooked up and controlled using a compatible motherboard thanks to its use of a standard 3-pin (5VDG) connector. The tempered glass side panel allows users to enjoy a panoramic view of the lighting used inside the Kolink Observatory Lite.

Aside from the pre-installed fans, users are also free to install two more 120mm fans in the roof. This is where a magnetic dust filter can be found installed on the honeycomb-style mesh. The side-facing air inlets on the front and in the PSU shroud also contribute to the good airflow of the case. Users are also free to install a 280 mm radiator in the front.
