In-Win Allure MicroATX Designer Case Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by jmke @ 2008-01-02

In-Win has a flashy microATX in their product lineup, the Allure comes in white color with fancy flower pattern and small footprint. Designed to blend in with its environment will certainly please the ladies. Let´s take a closer look.

Outside Look Continued & Inside

Outside Look Continued

To help integrate the case inside your living room, it’s best to keep the cable mess to a minimum, the Allure features a handful feature for this, the rear panel is completely covered by default:

By removing the plastic grill you have access to the rear I/O ports as well as the PSU area. In the photo below you can see the rear exhaust fan which is installed by default.

Details on the exhaust fan are sparse, it’s a 92x92x25mm fan from DRX model FD1290-S2033E, all we know is that at 12v it’s way too loud and should be replaced immediately with a more silent fan, you won’t regret it.

Inside Look

The left side panel is removed tool less by pushing the black button at the rear.

A shot from the inside reveals a custom air duct which is designed to work with stock Intel/AMD CPU coolers, it will help draw cool air from the side panel to the CPU. All the yellow plastic buttons and clips you see are tool less features of the Allure case, they are easy to spot and work as designed.

The custom air duct can be removed easily (it snaps in place after install), since we plan on using a 3rd party heatsink we had to remove the air duct as it did not fit afterwards.

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
