IN WIN 909 Full-Tower Case Preview

Cases & PSU/Cases by leeghoofd @ 2015-12-29

Last month we introduced the marvelous IN WIN 805 enclosure. For those that are not familiar with this Taiwanese company here's a small snippet from the previous article: IN WIN is one of those manufacturers which really continues to innovate. Last year they stole the Computex show with their highly acclaimed S-Frame, an open air chassis made from a single sheet of aluminum. This year at Computex they surprised friend and foe again with the H-frame case -> compare it with a hydraulic operated transformer case. Many of their prototypes and retail products have won lots of awards at many international trade shows. If you want to house your precious hardware in a luxurious case, have a look at the IN WIN catalog. Today we are taking a look at one of their latest breath taking case solutions, the IN WIN 909 Full-tower case.

A Closer Look Part I

The 5mm tinted tempered glass panels are secured by four oversized thumbscrews. Easy and fast removal warranted, yet firmly secured whenever needed.

The tempered glass panels elegantly follow the sleek curves of the IN WIN 909 case. The craftsmanship and eye for detail is superb with both IN WIN offerings we reviewed at the MadShrimps Lab.

As mentioned on the previous page the IN WIN 909 has the main storage space located in the top compartment of the full-tower case, supporting up to four 3.5" HDDs or 2.5" HDD/SSDs. In comparison with the smaller 805, one was limited to two easy removable trays. Again the engineers are betting heavily on the SSD storage devices as on the back of the motherboard tray there is room for up to six drives, all individually mounted on quick removable brackets.

Nice detail is that the top four storage devices are accessible from behind via cutouts in the motherboard tray. So no problem to have access to the SATA and power cables.

The removable trays are tool-less if one installs a 3.5" storage device. If the end-user prefers to use 2.5" HDDs or SSDs he will need to secure these small drives with four tiny screws. IN WIN includes a bunch of small black washers that can be used to increase the distance between the bracket and the drive itself. This to facilitate the plugging of the SATA and power cables, as without these washers the space is limited. We recommend to use these from the start.
