InWin 909 + 805 Temperred Glass Aluminum Cases

2015-06-07
our Computex coverage is made possible thanks to the following sponsors show them some love for helping us get here to Taipei so aside from showing off the H tower in win' has been hard at work redesigning and taking feedback from the community on their tempered glass and aluminum cases so the first one I'd like to point out is the in win 909 being a 900 series case it shares many similar elements from the 904 and the 901 like this open pocket at the bottom at the front that is your intake area actually supports dual 120mm intake fans and a magnetic dust filter attached to the bottom as well with the side IO that has USB C tab connector integrated I'm happy that we saw this trend pick up at Computex the panels are tempered glass and mounted in a standard way with 4 thumb screws and you really gotta love the material choices for this in one case behind the panel the interior layout actually seems pretty good and of course we'll have to do our own building process but everything is in its own compartments with a hard drive cage above the build there are two fan brackets right at the front with some spacing behind the front panel so the fans can actually breathe the power supply area is in its own compartment but in wind has learned from the past to make it more open for easier cable management and above the power supply is a rotated dual fan bracket with two five and a quarter inch drive base right below for installation of fan controllers like they have done here or maybe even optical drives with what looks like enough spacing and for the motherboard IO they are still utilizing the stealth design where you would route all the cables for your GPU USB stuff and the power at the back but I think the main thing to take away from this is an improved layout from the original 904 that was a bit of a disappointment so this still would make more sense for showcase build but I'm still happy with what has changed for this contemporary slash modern caliber of a case and they're also releasing this in black red aside from the traditional sort of silver and black they're also showing off their new in win 805 that is geared more towards of a less extreme system but with a similar build quality and materials used side panels are still tempered-glass and so is that front that makes the case really stand out having this glass box with aluminum frame with one a coolest front panel designs that I've seen on the show floor as the illumination behind the honeycomb will highlight this pattern making the case look really fantastic plus we'll have two color options the black gold and the black red and on the interior there's a modular drive cage that can be moved off the floor to the front panel it will rely on this front to rear air flow direction or the totally solid aluminum top and the rear side panel is also just a tempered glass panel that should encourage clean cable management I noticed this angled power supply shroud that I think looks really good and helps to separate the components a bit inside and I'm really liking in which design approach with these cases prioritizing on the presentation but also improving on many things for the internals to also be functional
