In Win 909 E-ATX Computer Chassis Revisited

Cases & PSU/Cases by stefan @ 2016-03-15

909 is definitely a case for computer enthusiasts which can take quite a bit of time to do a decent cable management and show of the internal components properly and also offers quite a bit of customization possibilities thanks to its secondary chamber in the back. We can install cooling systems both in front, on the bottom, in the back but also in the last compartment and we must make sure that the airflow will be optimized correctly so all components will be kept in reasonable temperature ranges. Because of its minimalist design, we do not have any ports or buttons in the frontal area of the unit which is beautifully crafted thanks to a single piece of 4mm brushed aluminum shell; these have been migrated to the lower left side which tells us that the case was mainly designed to sit on our table and not hidden somewhere on the floor.

A Closer Look Part II

In Win also made sure to place their logo here without ruining the overall design simplicity; the logo lights up with a white LED while the system is on:

If we look on the left side of the case, we will get to see the large glass side panel; this one is held in place with four screws and a cut-out can be observed in the bottom right corner:

A warning sign is also placed on the glass so people which are not familiar with the case would know how to handle the product:

Instead of having the interfaces placed on the top of the case or somewhere in front, In Win has thought to include these in a very unfamiliar location; here we will get to see the LED light effect switch button, no less than three USB 3.0 ports, one headphone and one microphone jack but also one last-gen USB Type-C port. On the far right we do also have a HDD orange activity LED, one Power LED along with the Power button. Right on top of these we do have a while LED light bar while on the bottom we have the only air intake of this case:

The right side of the case is symmetrical:

Let’s now take a look at the back side of the case; here we will be able to spot the mounts for installing 3x120mm or 2x140mm rear fans, a 360mm radiator, a 240mm radiator, one 120mm radiator so the selection is quite big; on the left side we do also have an opening for I/O interface cables which is placed quite odd because they do not align with the mobo I/O interfaces and makes access difficult without opening the left side panel; on the bottom side we can of course spot the PSU area:

The bottom area of the case is also made from the same single sheet of brushed aluminum and here we will also get to spot two large rubber feet:

As we have mentioned previously, the lateral glass panels are held with four screws on each side; for vibration dampening and glass protection, around each screw we will spot rubber material:

After the removal of the side panels, we must place them carefully aside and if we try to lift the case we will find out that it has got much, much lighter :)
