2014-01-13
you're heartbroken noxious 2014 coverage is brought to you by and say x-com technology connect alright we are here with in wind you guys know in wind makes very unique cases something known for particularly for the gamers style I'll be looking here but more of a for a lifestyle user that guy in the or girl who wants that unique a start of all the black boxes and everything so right now on to to my left we have the eminent of for this is a sort of a unique case because it's using a whole one-piece aluminum chassis on the exterior and tempered glass so this is not a critic it's full-on class shipping with this thing you know the box that comes with is massive but they've also realized that they could potentially go with even the smallest chassis then we are moving on to this in win nine and one and I'm gonna bring out this aluminum frame here this is the frame that the Inman uses and the reason for this is expensive price tag this is $190 is the fact that this whole aluminum chassis this exterior is one single piece except for here this so you can just remove the piece in order to for you to get access the the rear i/o but the fact that they can manufacture the single piece aluminum here like that it's also very expensive so let's move on to the case itself and check out what type of features they include so it does carry over a lot of the same features as before tempered glass removable with these so also it's a tinted tempered glass removable with these a sore thumb screws it does carry the exact same design with the sort of brushed aluminum curved panel in when here and a little bit of a space in the bottom that's not it can be utilized for storing things but it does have a fan a fan mount installed at the bottom for that intake because you can see the front is totally closed off closed off let's look at the back and see how you want come around at the back well this is removal also with thumb screws for you to access that IO panel and you can also install a 120mm at a fan here and in terms of water cooling it's not the most conventional way so as you can see there's no actual fan holes but they do fit in right in the in this spot power supply has been extended to the back as well as only 94 it was sort of kind of sticking out here but they have moved it to the back a little bit that means that the you could lie utilize the space you can install along the power supply is more room for your cables and at the bottom we have an optical slim drive I'm not sure you can see that but it's basically installed underneath the power supply we are told that that your SATA cable is already installed and it's included then all you have to do is plug that into your power supply and you're good to go ok so remove the panel is always kind of worrisome for me because the stamford glass is a little bit thinner than the one that is included on the 94 but it is totally beautiful it is tinted and it is tempered glass very sturdy and obviously have to be careful with this it's a very he'll you can probably see all the fingerprints but let's put this downside on the carpet so that I don't get in trouble and get inside so they have a light we have two three in the quarter inch drive base that sorry they say three in quarter three and a half inch drive cage that are hot swappable we have an SSD bracket at the bottom like what you see on the side as well we have a fan mounts there the opening power supply opening and you have USB or your audio and your power button and that's pretty much it I mean on the other side there are some openings for your cables to pass through there isn't much in terms of cable management but like they said this is a mini ITX system designed for this this minimalist who want who wants that very awesome sort of appeal I do like the design of this in terms of aesthetically it's not the best functionality or its numbers came in management like what we come to expect certainly at this price point but for a mini ITX system who if you want that very awesome elegance chassis the Inman 901 is definitely the choice okay yeah so this has been in wind here at CES 2014 they announced the 901 and I do like the fact that there's you know they're scaling down and their original line of four and hopefully based on our feedback based on all of your comments guys they will redesign this type so that the space of the bag is not so much so much wasted because you know it's not elegant chassis but there's a little bit too many there's some drawbacks that perhaps could make this case not attractive so guys thanks for watching our CES 2014 coverage here in Las Vegas they will see you the next video
