Conclusion

After installing components and applying power, the two included front and side fans light up, providing a nice solid green glow when the lights are low.Not the most extravagant lighting scheme ever developed for a case, but something unique nonetheless.The fans operated rather quietly, which was surprising given no appreciable noise dampening qualities.
Conclusion:
For approximately $80 USD, the XK-BK1 case by XKROMA is like a book with a nice cover but a standard plot.The exterior chrome finish and colored fans offer a stylish exterior look, but the interior amenities (or lack thereof) were not up to par with other high-end cases.However, with a reasonable price tag of approximately $80 USD, the XK-BK1 is a decent case whose simple approach overcomes some of its shortcomings.Overall, I would rate this case a 3 out of 5.
Pros:
+ Slick looking chrome exterior finish
+ 2 fans with LEDs included
+ Roomy interior
+ Extended rear case
Cons:
- Lack of interior features
- Cheap-looking plastic front bezel with poor fitting panels
- Poorly designed door knobs and case feet
Red&Blackness gives it 3 out of 5 dots
