Kingwin K-11-BK-WM Aluminum Case

As with just about any other case you get these days, it comes with the basic accessories needed to install your hardware and use any special features that the case may have. With this particular Kingwin case, you get a bag of screws which include mainboard standoffs, drive screws, a users guide and all the cables needed to use the ports which are accessible via the front of the case. I would personally like to see these cables pre-routed or reduced because it seems like there are so many that it's impossible to hide them.

On the front of the case towards the bottom there are a total of seven conveniently accessible ports. There are four USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire, one Mic, and one Line Out. The cables used to connect the Firewire and USB to your computer's motherboard are all separated and will need to be plugged in using tweezers for sure. I would really like to see case manufacturers put all of these cables in to one nice single plug/block like they used to so it would just be a simple plug and play procedure instead of a plug 4 times and play procedure. The Mic and Line Out jacks connect to directly to the sound jacks on your sound card.

Here you can see that Kingwin chose to mount all the front ports on to a single board with all the cables connected to the back. The board is mounted to the case using two screws which seem to hold it securely in place, it doesn't wobble around when you go to plug in or remove a USB or audio cable.

All in all, the case comes with all the necessary accessories to make your computer using experience as convenient as ever.

Finishing up with the internals of the case you can see that Kingwin made the wise choice of putting two 80mm fans in the front. This greatly increases airflow, however, I was disappointed because they didn't include an intake filter on this particular model like on their previous ones.  But keep in mind, this is the economy case unlike the Kingwin KT-424.
