Test Setup Details

Test Setup

We used the following components from the Dollarshops Budget PC and transferred them inside the In-Win Allure:

- AMD Athlon 3800+ AM2 CPU
- Evercool Buffalo CPU Cooler
- Jetway M26GTM with onboard 6150 VGA Motherboard
- 2Gb DDR2 PC2-6400 Memory
- 320GB Sata HDD
- VGA NVIDIA 8600 GT 256Mb (With Arctic Cooling Silencer S1)
- Casetek V.Pandora ATX Mid Tower Case
- Sirtek 310W Power Supply
- LiteOn HH Lightscribe 20X DVD Writer


With the multitude of tool less features installation went very smooth, no sharp edges inside to cut yourself on either, so going from an empty case to this was a matter of minutes, not hours:

Last but not least we experimented with the rear panel, in order to remove visible cable clutter as much as possible, unfortunately the monitor’s DVI connector was a bit too long to use that section of the rear panel, and still overall it’s a clean look. Don’t you think?

Power, Keyboard/Mouse, Sound, VGA, UTP Network hooked up


Onto the stress tests ->

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
