InWin Factory Tour - How Cases are Made!

2016-05-30
hello everyone I'm Dimitri with Harkin Dax and I'm Eva with hurricane axe you guys probably realized that already but today is the official launch of Computex 2016 and we start off this show with a little trip for a factory tour within win huge thanks to our Computex sponsors for sending us out here shout out to nvidia fantex NCIX and msi so the first thing we did when we got to the factory was visit their power supply testing room which had a bunch of rocks and they hook up the power supplies in there to test how the power supply behaves they go through three different temperatures trip temperature modes but the boom doesn't have any AC it smelled a little strange I'm happy there was a fan inside but then we got to visit a really cool electromagnetic interference room so apparently they put a case in there and they test out how much emissions interference there is from the Box the antenna or whatever device that was pointing at your source that looked pretty intimidating it was fairly large and then we moved on to the semi anechoic chamber and this is where they tested the noise levels of cases for and they had different settings and of course when we walked in we were able to like hear our own blood flow after a few minutes and then I was able to hear my camera which was kind of weird the thing is with a/c 100 it has an actual fan in there but you never hear it because in a normal environment that fan is very very quiet and the ambient noise even if you're in a silent environment drowns out any noise of the electronics so for example that the camera was all you could hear that you could hear things from the phones and then we moved into the best part of the factory that was how they actually is they had these separate molding parts and once they installed the molding parts inside the actual manufacturing mean they were able to mold certain parts of the case and we were able to see how the actual plastic parts were coming out from the actual machine and they had different textures so I was actually told that they set it to different temperatures for different textures and that was really interesting well just being able to see the molding for like a power button really opens your mind that how much goes into production of an enclosure regardless of how simple or advanced it is you always it's something that you never see we were also interested to see just how a sheet of metal just transformed into a side panel with all the details of course the logo so in this case we were able to see how they were able to engrave the asu's logo on one of the side panels and those really cool to actually see it in person they have a really cool laser cutting machine that was producing not many sparks but the noise oh my god because they have the it was an aluminium piece and the aluminum piece is covered in a blue film and the blue films supposed to protect any burns or like anything that would defect the aluminum itself but also they had plenty of almost conveyor belts in terms of like you said taking a piece of metal cutting it up to to whatever size to whatever thing and then you can they were bending it so the machine it was a conveyor belt of carrying all these parts and was very interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of how case is made we were also able to see how the cases were painted so it actually goes through a real cool process of just having a little thin blade and it just goes up and down so it just finishes that nice it gives you a nice paint job on the actual case and that was also really cool to see inside the factory yeah I was surprised to find out that the smell of paint wasn't as strong as I was expecting to be because you're literally the next room which is open and there's fans everywhere I asked them what they do with this water because it looked quite gross yeah so we're told that they dry the water and then whatever's left is a solid and they discard the solid so aside from all the production things that we're seeing it in the in the factories we also got the little sneak peek in their design facility so we actually met when they're in when designers in their in-house designers and their new product with the LED fans that have a detachable cable and they have a LED system that's built into it that is cohesive with an addition of LED strips so you can add LED strips to the same daisy chain between LED fans and other other LED strips and they will all be controlled it with individual LED control through this hub and that's one of the that's going to be the next level of customization for computer builds because right now we have the hue plus which is awesome but it's only LED strips you can't connect the fans here so they're taking the next step further we'll see how it plays out but the cool thing is because the cable from the fan is removable what your end up left with is so you can put three fans by the radiator and instead of each fan having their own connector you can have these little interconnectors between the fans that connect each other and therefore in the end you are left with one single cable that you connect to the hub and then from the hub you can control the fan speed and there's a remote and there's multiple lighting modes I am actually very excited to see this product come to market because that's like the dream come true in terms of customization for LED lighting for your case you know having cohesive lighting between fans and LED strips so we were told that there are a total of 600 employees working in the factory and the manufacturing is actually taken by order so they had we were able to actually see basically from start to finish of how every individual was doing something with the case and then it eventually gets into the packaging and it's yeah shipped and it says that it chips in about one to two days after the orders actually been made so that's pretty fast let's bring it variable imagine like or you're in the issues and you order 300 cases and then within two days all that is being sure - yeah so one of the cool things we were able to take a look at the factory was the quality control center and they had this 3d analyzing machine where when you place a part computer part onto the machine it detects the dimensions of that part and I was told that the dimensions were measured in micrometers so it's very precise and that was really cool to actually you know witness and that concludes our debrief on the factory tour with in win fantastic experience be able to see how products made behind the scenes before things get too in our reviewer hands you know for the retail product this was your first time with a factory tour of this caliber what are your impressions in three words it was amazing all right all right so guys make sure to check out our in win three or three case review actually the coincidence that they kind of aligned with this coverage of that you're watching now thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
