On Figure 15 you can see the switches and connectors available on KL03: two USB ports, one Firewire port, heaphones output, microphone input, power switch and reset switch. The location of these connectors and switches is perfect: on top of the unit. As you can see, this part of the case is also in aluminum. Here we missed an eSATA port. We think that a case from this level should have at least one eSATA port on this panel.

On Figure 16 you can see the rear of KL03. As you can see this is a traditional seven-slot case, coming with a 120-mm fan on its rear. As happens with the majority of high-end cases, this case doesn’t come with a power supply. What is interesting about this case is that you can remove the frame that holds the power supply in place, allowing you to install a redundant power supply, which is bigger and doesn’t fit regular ATX cases.  click to enlarge Figure 16: Rear side.
If you play close attention on Figure 16 you can see that this case use regular screws. We think a case from this level deserved thumbscrews. Another feature of this case is its feet. You can leave them on their default position (Figure 17), you can rotate them 90º so they become apparent (Figure 18) or you can simply remove them with a Philips screwdriver, if you don’t like them.  click to enlarge Figure 17: Default position of the feet.
