This case is very beautiful, easy to open, easy to get things in and plumbed in.
It almost looks like a little bit fatter version of the black Wii, but it's actually much bigger than the Wii. Consider the measurements carefully.
The vents on the top of the case are nice though, since they allow the CPU fan to suck in extra air and cool my over clocked (to 2.2GHz) chip down.
Although the case is small that dose not mean the the In-Win team have not thought about cable management as this is a massive thing for me its prop on the same par as overclocking for me..
There is loads of places that you can hide all the unwanted cables and help the 80mm fan get the air round this case.. the only thing I can say about the fan is that it is quiet but I think they could have done bit better with it, a silent fan would have been better. Also if I was part of the In-win team I would have stuck some fan mounts on the inside of where the vents on the panel so that you could help the air flow on to the CPU as I have OC’ed the asrock atom MB to 2.2GHz and although the temps are fine it would help in the long run.
Having said all that this dose not mean this is not a good case.. these were only little things I would change to help us OC’er, as a whole this case it a top pick for a media center pc.
Its small, quiet and has a very nice look to it and would look good next to your home cinema set up. And yet again it’s a big thumbs up to the In-Win team from us at AZCS.co.uk for another grate pc case..
I award this case the AZCS.co.uk 4 out of 5 stars
