Pros: A case like nothing I have seen before. Wish it was in a full size mid was kinda cramped but great space for cables and what not

Cons: Just wish it would have been a full tower.

Other Thoughts: No disk bay. Did not need one just saying

Pros: Beautiful, great materials used. It's practically a work of art when you take the time to do proper wire management.

Cons: THE BACK IO PLATE FOR MOBO DOESN'T FIT...

I ready the other persons's comment and thought "No way such an oversight could be made... he must be doing something wrong / be a new builder"... No... The cutout legitimately is too small for my Asus Sabertooth board's backplate. I could attempt to grind the steel down... but if I go just a hair too much, then it won't fit at all and just pop right through the opening... Really disappointed by this. It's straight embarrassing. It's Case making 101. I don't think the IO backplate has changes sizes in the last decade... Unreal.

Pros: -Extremely well built
-Beautiful glass
-Quiet
-Roomy on the inside, perfect overall size on the outside
-Temperatures are much better than expected

Cons: None, but if I wanted to be a little picky I would like to see some more robust feet. A classy metal approach would have completely put this over the top for me.

Other Thoughts: I researched many, many cases before I decided on this one, and it was the first piece I bought for my build. I planned every other component around it. I was a little apprehensive about the omission of a drive bay at first, but honestly I don't even miss it. I also removed the hard drive cage and went entirely solid state - this allowed me to add two more intake fans on the bottom of the case. I also went for a 280mm liquid radiator. This was my first build, and I didn't have any problems at all with the case. I will say that be prepared for some extensive cable management because every angle of your build will (potentially) be visible in this skeleton design.

I have seen many reviews that state that IO shields simply will not fit. Well, that wasn't the case for me. Mine fit just fine, but the spot for mounting the shield is a little unconventional, so maybe there was some confusion? I actually prefer this "knife edge" mount because it leaves a small opening above the IO shield where someone could mount an LED to illuminate the back.

This truly is a work of art. The perfectly tinted glass, the matte black interior, and brushed exterior make this simply the most amazing case I have ever seen.

Hello Ethan,

First off, thank you for leaving feedback on our 805 chassis. We appreciate you sharing your experience with case and hope it continues to be good to you. We are happy to see that you love it and we thank you for choosing In Win.

Pros: Case looks really cool, the tempered glass is a very nice touch, the mother board fit in nicely, spacious section for power supply

Cons: Well, the one major problem that i stated is that, there is no slot for a DVD/CD/BR drive. Literally, nothing. I looked at the instructions maybe i was buggin, but to no avail, nothing was there. So in order to install a fresh operating system, i left the tower open, connected a CD drive to the motherboard, and installed that and my drivers which i disconnected after and closed the case. If you plan on spending 200 dollars on a case and are planning to hook up an external disc drive or have an operating system and drivers on a flash drive, then by all means buy this case

Hello Nicholas,

Thank you for leaving feedback on our 805 chassis. Unfortunately ODDs are fizzling out of the market. We'd like to continue to support them, but we have received plenty of feedback claiming to remove them. We try to offer cases with such drives available, but the 805 isn't one of those cases. If it helps, external drives work just as well. We do place this information on our website and show it on Newegg too. In the future, you are more than welcome to contact us through social media (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter), our forums, or give us a call at (909) 348-0588 should you have any questions about any of our products. Thank you for choosing In Win.

Pros: - this things is amazing to look at.
-can fit 2 fans on the bottom of the case.
-the glass screws are different but work and are easy to unscrew.

Cons: -The biggest problem i have with this case is my Asus p9 motherboard and geforce 980 gpu are a extremely tight fit. so tight that it didn't fit because of the slant in the back where the pci slots are. the pci arms stick out to far for my geforce to lock into place. I had to bend two of the pci arms out of the way to get the gpu to lock into place. i even had to take the back plate off the gpu to it to lock 100% in. It really bums me out to give it a 3 start rating but that is a huge problem for me. who knows it might just be the motherboard gpu combo that doesnt fit. but it is an ATX motherboard so i don't see why it wouldn't fit. if the case wasn't slanted in the back it would of been perfect, but because of the hassle it caused me and what i had to do to it. 3 stars.

Pros: Aesthetics - When it comes to case presentation for me I prefer a more spartan aesthetic. Going so far as to disable or remove excess LEDs that are purely for show on all of my previous builds. But between the tinted glass on the sides/front, the black brushed aluminum and the white LED in the side this case is gorgeous. The design cut into the front aluminum piece that allows light to peak through the front glass is a nice touch that gives it a gentle elegance. The tinted glass that allows some light to shine out but keeps it from being overbearing makes this case a more restrained choice than some.

Quality - As I stated this case is built from aluminum and tempered glass. It is the sturdiest case I have ever owned. There is no compromise in the design nor construction. From the choice of materials to the placement of screws this feels like a premium product. Even the packaging gave me confidence. A very sturdy cardboard with very well fitted styrofoam packaging with the case in a very soft canvas bag.

Functionality - Looking inside this case it is clear that the placement of every mounting point and hole to run cables was thoughtfully considered. Combined with a nice modular PSU cable management is a breeze. Being able to relocate the HDD bays was clever or removing them entirely in favor of mounting some SSDs on the rear of the mobo plate and giving yourself more room for cooling.

Value - This point will be more subjective and different for everyone. When doing your own build the case is an easy and common place people will try to save some money and maybe even skimp a little. I know I have. But I am completely happy that I spent a little more to get a quality case that I am actually proud (perhaps more than I should be) to own.

Cons: Size - This is a smaller case. That isn't a con in and of itself but I feel there are things people should be aware of when considering this case for a build. This mostly constricts your cooling options. There is a point at the top front, bottom front and top rear to mount case fans/radiators. My build is using two closed loop liquid cooling solutions. One for the GPU and one for the CPU. The GPU's radiator is 240mm and is mounted on the top front. I reversed the fans on it to make them pull air into the case rather than push out. My assumption being this would be better for airflow overall. The front bottom has 2 120mm fans also pulling air in. The CPU's radiator is 120mm and is at the top rear pushing out. Had I not chosen to use SSDs and mount them to the rear of the mobo plate I would've lost another 120mms of fan/radiator space to the HDD bay mount. None of this was or is an issue for me. The highest temp I've seen in this case so far while gaming was 60c on the GPU. And that was in Ark Survival Evolved which is not the most well optimized game and taxes my GPU like no other game I play. So be aware of your options and how they will affect your build.

Defects - These are, to me at least, very minor quibbles. In one of the side panels there is a small bubble in the glass. To me a non issue but I know people who would've returned the case for this. Something else that cheapened but did not ruin the experience of opening the box was a prominent partial hand print on the front glass panel. This was quickly remedied with the included cloth for cleaning the case.

Neither of these points detract from the score of the product in this review. I simply included them to be thorough and informative.

Other Thoughts: This will be my first ever review for a product I purchased on newegg.com. I wasn't planning on writing a review until I noticed this case still didn't have any and I truly feel that it deserves high marks.

This case is pricier than some but worth every penny. It's high levels of both form and function render the price an insignificant variable. I was not aware of InWin during past builds but I will certainly consider them for every build in my future.
