A Closer Look Part II

Cooling wise the IN WIN 909 can pack some serious potential, though the lack of any fan in the box is something that should be addressed. In this price category at least two fans should be included to provide an airflow inside the enclosure; nevertheless one can install a total of a whopping eight fans in this 909.

  • Front: 2 x 120/140mm Fans
  • Bottom: 2 x 120/140mm Fans
  • Middle: 1 x 120mm Fan
  • Rear: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm Fans

 

For the water cooling purists this case also offers several options, though we have some critics on what is possible and how it will be able to cool your hardware. Let us first list the numerous options which are provided by the IN WIN team.
