Cases & PSU/Cases by DUR0N @ 2004-02-23

In Win claims they have THE new gamers/modder/HW-enthousiast case, and we?re the first in the Benelux to take a good look at it. You?ll find out soon enough what exactly this case has to offer and how hard the mediocre gamer might like it.

Conclusion

The Final Verdict.

In the end, In-Win built a fine case, with some small flaws. Nothing serious, just things that most people tend to dislike. Then what is so special about this case? First of all: its price. It swaps owner for ~€130. Which is slightly more expensive than other cases but for this price you get a case already equipped with a 120mm and 2x80mm fans and a built-in Digidoc. Quite cheap don't you think?

Let’s put al the major Pro's and Cons together:

PRO
Many gadgets
Good price for what you get
Sturdy design
BIG
Few sharp edges
Easy to use

CON
Contra Points No removable motherboard tray
Contra Points [Beep Beep Beep]
Contra Points No battery for the clock
Contra Points Front panel door is easy to break



As you can see, the Pro's outweigh the Con's. If In-Win redesigns the PCB that controls the LCD so the beeping can be disabled (without soldering ;) ) and add a battery to it, they are close to making a perfect case!

I would like to thank Colorcase and Roy from In-Win for giving us the opportunity to review this case,



I would also like to not thank my digicam for failing on me (thank JMke for the pics!)

DUR0N over & out!
