Kolink is really spoiling us right now. Last week they dropped the Unity Series, and are now unleashing four more cases plus a redesigned side panel. Introducing the Inspire K10, Inspire K11, Stronghold M, Rocket Heavy Vented case, and the Rocket Heavy Vented Side Panel. All are available to buy at Overclockers UK. Oh Kolink, it’s not even my Birthday!
Kolink Inspire K10 Mid-Tower Case
First in our line-up of shiny goodies, is the Inspire K10. A mid-tower case with integrated RGB lighting, this is the first of the Inspire Series to feature an integrated Kolink Umbra aRGB PWM 120mm fan. Read more about these beautiful fans, here!
| Features |
|---|
| Mid-tower chassis |
| Integrated RGB lighting and PWM 120mm fan |
| GPUs up to 315mm long |
| CPU coolers up to 165mm high |

Using the Inspire K10, you can build a gaming PC with an ATX, Micro-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboard – depending on how much hardware support or natural airflow you need. The sleek black interior has a carefully curated layout, enabling you to maximise your configuration. The K10 can support GPUs up to 315mm long, whilst also accommodating CPU coolers up to 165mm tall.
In addition to the integrated Umbra fan, seven more fans can be mounted across the chassis. If you prefer water cooling to air cooling, then alternatively the K10 can house a 360mm radiator at the front and a 240mm in the top. Whichever route you take, the Inspire K10 will operate at optimal temperatures throughout your gaming sessions.

Kolink Inspire K11 Mid-Tower Case
Next, we have the Inspire K11. Another addition to the Inspire Series, this mid-tower case follows the same trend as the K10. The stylish front panel has futuristic RGB lighting and the integrated PWM 120mm fan is, once again, a Kolink Umbra. With the ability to daisy-chain additional fans, it’s a nifty addition.

In terms of specs, the Inspire K11 is very similar to the K10. There is support for plenty of gaming hardware, including up to 315mm long GPUs and up to 165mm tall CPU coolers. When it comes to your gaming library, there are a total of four drive bays to play with: two 3.5”/2.5” slots designed for HDDs and two 2.5” slots for SSDs. You can stock up on bytes and speed with a versatile storage solution.
With maintaining thermal performance, the Inspire K11 also supports either air or water cooling. Should you opt for more fans, thanks to the design of the Kolink Umbra fan, you can easily daisy-chain 3-pin 5V fans. Create amazing RGB displays and enjoy dynamic cooling, who says you only get to pick one?!

Kolink Stronghold M Micro-ATX Case
Third, we have the Kolink Stronghold M. This case is an update on a fan favourite. The original Stronghold case is one of Kolink’s best-sellers, and for good reason, too. Plenty of hardware support, a simple yet stylish aesthetic, and manufactured from durable materials. Its only “downfall” is that it might be too big for some, being a full-size tower. This is where the Stronghold M comes in. It is the same case but in a more compact, Micro-ATX form factor.
| Features |
|---|
| Micro-ATX chassis |
| Integrated PWM 120mm fan |
| GPUs up to 330mm long |
| CPU coolers up to 160mm high |
| Steel frame with tempered glass panel |
For a budget-friendly, no-nonsense build, the Stronghold M is the perfect contender. Simple yet stylish, with a black, brushed effect finish, this case makes a stunning backdrop for those who prefer their hardware without flashy RGB. Start with either a Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboard, then install a GPU up to 330mm long and a CPU cooler up to 160mm tall. Paired with the ample storage across four drive bays, and you have a gaming PC that packs a punch.
Cooling wise, the integrated black, PWM 120mm fan can be supported by up to five additional fans situated throughout the chassis. Alternatively, there is support for a 240mm radiator on the front panel and plenty of space for an AiO cooler. Placed on the top and bottom of the chassis are magnetic dust filters. Super convenient, they are easy to remove, clean, and reinstall, all whilst keeping your gaming PC free of dust and dirt.
| Kolink Stronghold M | Specification |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 185mm x 400mm x 385mm |
| Power Supply | ATX PSU |
| Storage | 2 x 3.5”/2.5” HDD 2 x 2.5” SSD |
| I/O Panel | 1 x USB 3 2 x USB 2.0 1 x Audio In/Audio Out 1 x Reset button 1 x Power button |
Kolink Rocket Heavy Vented Mini-ITX Case and Panel
The final case dropping today is the Rocket Heavy Vented. I see the eagle-eyed of you spot that it is a new and improved version of the original Rocket Heavy case from Kolink. You are correct. Whilst it is a great case, the community feedback stated that it would benefit from more airflow, especially around the GPU. Kolink listened. Adding to the Rocket Series, they have released the Rocket Heavy Vented, which features extra ventilation and hexagonal cut-outs. Plus, a panel for upgrading your existing case.
| Features |
|---|
| Mini-ITX chassis |
| Integrated PWM fan |
| GPUs up to 340mm long |
| CPU coolers up to 85mm high |
| Aluminium frame with tempered glass panel |
Being a Mini-ITX form factor, the Rocket Heavy Vented is a portable case that supports an amazing amount of gaming hardware. Thanks to the included PCIe riser cable, you can mount the GPU vertically, meaning you can install a graphics card up to 340mm long. That covers most models currently available on the market! Naturally, this case accommodates a Mini-ITX motherboard, which is further supported by three expansion slots. This is a great case for space-conscious enthusiasts.
The shining feature of the Rocket Heavy Vented is the additional ventilation that has been added. Improving natural airflow, the new 3mm aluminium side panel features the same stylish hexagonal cut-outs as the front panel. This case has been primed for AiO water cooling loops, which this new ventilation system helps to bolster.
Depending entirely on your preferences, this panel can be installed on the left- or right-hand side of the chassis. The opposite side will house the tempered glass panel. Kolink suggests placing the aluminium panel on the left, to help dissipate heat around your GPU, but if you have a great focus on aesthetics, then the glass panel works there too.
| Kolink Rocket Heavy Vented | Specification |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 350mm x 180mm x 256mm |
| Power Supply | SFX or SFX-L PSU |
| Storage | 1 x 3.5” HDD 2 x 2.5” SSD |
| I/O Panel | 1 x USB 3.1 Type-C 2 x USB 3.0 2 x USB 2.0 HD Audio |
The final item to mention is the Rocket Heavy Vented Side Panel, which is essentially the new aluminium panel available for purchase separately. Those with an existing Rocket Heavy case can upgrade to the vented version with this panel.

|---|---|
| Dimensions | 350mm x 256mm |
| Material | 3mm aluminium |
| Colour | Gunmetal Grey |
