This case is not marketed at guys, period. The external design choices made by In-Win leave no doubt about that :-)

So what input can a male reviewer give about this case made for woman? How easy is to install a system inside for your girlfriend/wife. Accessibility features and overall cooling will be discussed.

Without further ado, here’s the Allure:

The flower design at the front is quite invasive, on the left side panel however there’s only a small logo and you can see ventilation holes.

The right side panel is decorated more heavily, with different colored flowers and also small diamond-like insets. A close-up of those below:

The front of the case has all the controls for power/reset, 2xUSB ports, 1xFirewire, IR receiver and Mic/Headphone connectors. The DVD bays are hidden by a door which flips open upwards;

A simple push on the marked area will flip the door upwards and allow you access to the 5.25” devices.

I wonder if women really want flowers on their case.

No, even some of the male gender like those, me for example. Makes me think of Japanese flower art

my girlfriend really diggs the case, first PC related object that can stay in the living room and she actually visually likes.

Her girlfriends like it too, none of them are PC minded
