Overall, the Kingwin KT424-BK Aluminum is an excellent budget oriented aluminum chassis solution. The 2mm brushed aluminum alloy provide with chic aesthetics and also give the Kingwin KT424-BK a greater cooling performance when compare to rival steel models. The exterior is very well designed and offers many modification possibilities that will appeal to case modders. A pre-modified version is also available for those lacking the tools or skills necessary to modify their own cases. The use of thumbscrews throughout paired with the push in drive mounting system allow for an almost entirely tool-free design. The stock cooling options are rather good with the exception of the stamped grills and pressurized airflow due to the single exhaust. The interior structure is well laid out is capable of accommodating most users configurations with ease. With additional features such as front USB and IEEE 1394, built in fan controller, removable filter and vibration canceling hard drive mounting cage, the Kingwin KT424-BK Aluminum Case carries features that will appeal to almost anyone. I did encounter some minor annoyances during the evaluation process such as the flimsy front door which conceals the USB and IEEE 1394 ports. Constant removal of the bezel in order to install drives or adjust fan speed does become tedious. Installation of smaller fan controllers presented a minor issue in which the unit would not fully clip into place. Drilling additional holes into the mounting bracket would eliminate this issue but shouldn’t be necessary. The stamped fan grills do slightly hamper airflow but allow for respectable performance none the less. Lastly, I did note some very minor fluctuation of the chassis and removable motherboard tray when completely empty, granted this is a budget-oriented model, certain shortcomings are to be expected. Aside from a few minor issues, I’m rating the Kingwin KT424-BK Aluminum Case a 8.5 out of 10. I would recommend this product to any consumer seeking an affordably priced, feature full, aesthetically pleasing aluminum case.
