Internal Overview
Removing the side panel reveals the 220mm blue LED fan and the inside of the case, which doesn’t appear to be too large.
The front of the case houses the nine 5.25” drive bays, each with their own unique tool-free installation device.
A hard drive cage rests at the bottom three 5.25” bays. Unfortunately you have to remove the hard drive cage to actually install any drives.
Towards the rear of the case we have the bottom mounted power supply slot which has a mesh filter to capture the dust. Above the power supply slot are the seven expansion slots with their own tool-free attachments. It confuses me that In Win left one of the slots open and left the other slots with covers that weren’t reusable. The empty slot could be replaced with the reusable cover that is included with the case.
Above the expansion slots two of the 120mm internal fans: one is on the back of the case while the other is on the top. The reusable slot and hardware as well as a fancy User’s Manual are included with the case.
I think I mentioned something like this once before, but it would be really nice if some NEWER hardware could be installed in these cases for the reviews. We have (in this review) a Slot1 (possibly SlotA) motherboard, and it has an ISA slot. Wow. That's old. I understand that it's for illustration purposes, but using somewhat current motherboards would allow the use of somewhat current video cards. Modern video cards can have problems fitting into some cases due to the length and overall size of the video card. Using hardware from before the AGP slot doesn't really help shoppers visualize their gear in this (or any other) case. Not only that, but using such ancient hardware really makes the whole review look -well- kind of cheesy, and “low budget” for lack of a better term. Again, I understand that the largest motherboard available is used to illustrate the interior size of the case, but most (if not all) mid or full size cases can handle a full size motherboard. Personally, I'd be more interested in knowing how a GTX285 fits in the case, or if a large CPU cooler (like the Noctua NH-D14) will fit correctly. We all know a 10 year MB will fit…..
Nice enough case shame about the shite hardware you put in it … If you can't or wont get with the times then maybe you shouldn't be reviewing hardware I mean come on who the hell is still using socket7/slot1 combo mobos and sound blaster lives 5.1
InWin made qualitatively, but the producers again too lazy to make a qualitative filter dust. Per month case completely clogged with dust. I do not support clean your computer of dust, I just put the dust filter.
