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 III

We continue with the cooling possibilities: the middle fan is limited to 120mm dimensions, the cut-out is enlarged to allow tubing to pass above the fan in case of a liquid cooling setup. A total of 8 black PCI-e brackets can be observed too on the below picture.

 

 

Finally the rear fans or radiator setup can be mounted to a removable 4 mm aluminum panel. This panel has stylish cutouts, that serve as safeguard while not limit the air flow too much. It is secured by four thumbscrews and has nice CNCed holes for the different fan mounting positions.

 

 

One can spot the stylish pattern in the rear plate; the large rectangular opening allows the user to guide and attach the PSU power, VGA and USB cables to the rear I/O plate of the motherboard. Keep in mind no big hands though, might be easier to remove a side panel and work from there.

The power supply is positioned in the bottom part, no anti-vibration pads to be spotted. Weird that IN WIN has positioned the sticker how the PSU should be mounted on top of the compartment. Power Supplies up to 220mm in length are supported.

 

 

The I/O panel is for once not located at the front but at the side of the 909 case. Three USB 3.0 ports and a C-type Micro USB 3.1 one and of course the in and out jack for the audio. On top of the I/O panel there's a white LED bar with different light effect functions that highlight the installed hardware. Support for optical drives has been omitted, a shame as for sure as there is sufficient place to install one.
