Conclusion
The In Win Fanqua is a decent case. While I’m not entirely sure about the strength of the skeleton of the case, I can assure you the quality of all the other materials are high. In Win is good at coming up with unique case designs and the Fanqua is no exception to that. It provides a lot of ease during installation and looks great whenever it’s all completed. ThinkComputers would like to award the In Win Fanqua Mid Tower Chassis a 9 out of 10 score.
Pros
- Cool and Quiet
- Unique design
- Easily remove the external bay covers
- Plenty of unique additions added to the case
Cons
- Limited internal space
- Metal seems cheap for an In Win 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.
