Winsis’s Wi-02 case is great where you don’t have a lot of space for a system. It would work well in kiosks or as a video wall controller cabinet. You could also use it to control information signs in a hotel or airport. Its small size would also make it a good choice for a HTPC.
There is an external 5.25" drive bay and an internal 3.5" drive bay as well as a half-height expansion slot. The front panel also has two audio jacks and two USB ports. The 200W power-supply delivers ample power for all your components needs. Once everything is installed put the lid back on and you’re good to go.
Pros: Overally, they did a good job with the design of the case. Drive bay can fit a slim CD, 3.5, and a 2.5 hard drive. I agree the mechanism to lock the drives into place is a bit odd, but it works. The vents on the side and top of the case are perfect for cooling my Atom 330. It also passed the big test. My girlfriend didn't complain about a large piece of computer equipment under the TV. Very compact and more on the conversative side when it comes to design.
Cons: The slim expansion slot on the back isn't designed correctly. The hole for the screw is on the opposite side and it doesn't seems to be slightly misaligned. After placing a slim bracket on my ATI PCI TV Wonder 650 care, i ended up cutting the 'tab' portion of the slim bracked to make it fit. I also had a problem with ejecting my Slim CD drive. The reason it was getting stuck was due to the length of the tiny screw supplied with the case. It was too long and rubbing against the slide mechanism. After replacing it with a smaller screw, it worked like a charm.
Other Thoughts: I've heard the powersupply included with the case is rather loud and inefficient so I purchased a SeaSonic SS-300TFX 300W TFX12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply from NewEgg and was a 99.9% perfect fit. (there are two tabs which rub against the powersupply, but didn't require any modification.
If they fix the following - Include a 80 Plus certified power supply. - Fix the Mini PCI Slot - Smaller screws for mounting the slim cd mounting
this case would have gotten 5 eggs.
One more thing... When applying the rubber feet to the case, be EXTREMELY careful when pealing off the tape cover... It's very easy to pull off the entire adhesive instead of just the cover and the feet won't stick.

Pros: It's very pretty: glossy face, classy blue led power button. Looks kinda like a shiny black Xbox 360, only smaller. Power supply is not loud as other say, the cpu fan is far louder, which is to say: it makes next to no noise. Wire management was nicely laid out. Ventilation holes in all the right paces. The price is outstanding for this build quality w/power supply.
Cons: The pic/pci-e bracket is right in front of the power supply. Meaning: If you put a video card in, the gpu fan will be entirely covered, you would need a fanless card and a case fan pointed right at it. Good luck with that.
Other Thoughts: It's pretty, it's cheap. Not a ready for gaming because of psu layout, but would make a nice htpc/emulator machine for the living room.

Did you?
Pros: Fairly attractive appearance, 200W power supply, cheap
Cons: One USB port does not work. Power LED does not work. Cut out in the back is misaligned. Front panel is finger print magnet. Comes with only one set of rubber feet, see other thoughts.
Other Thoughts: For my first build, it is okay. I was disappointed mostly by the faulty USB port. I was on the cheap this time around so I get what I pay for. The LED does pop out like everyone mentioned; however, mine does not work at all. I'm not too disappointed since it would be more of a distraction any way. Front panel is piano black and attracts prints about as bad as an iPhone. The case can be orientated two ways, but only provides feet for one. Looks a little cheesy because they recess the area where the feet go.

Good case, bad power supply
Reviewed By: Corey on 1/2/2010
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It's slim and attractive. Though a little awkward to work with, I like the removable drive assembly.
Cons: As many have mentioned below, the power supply is a disappointment. Mine has not blown but I discovered the PS fan stopped working giving me a new place to fry an egg. I'll be getting a new power supply.
As stated below, I also had problems with the alignment of the screw hole for the expansion slot. After cutting the tab, I was able to make it work with my half-height tuner.
Other Thoughts: The plastic front panel is delicate. I wouldn't manhandle it much when removing and reassembling.
When using the expansion slot, there is not much space between the card and the power supply fan. (~1") The case has quite a few ventilation holes but given their placement away from this small gap, I'm concerned there may be some overheating issues.
Overall, it gets the job done and once everything is together, it's looks nice.

Nice case for little cost
Reviewed By: Darkmystique on 12/30/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good cost for an attractive Mini ITX case. Looks right at home on the entertainment center. Fits 2.5" drives and slimline optical. The drive cage is removable for easy maintenence.
Cons: Orientation of the SATA might be tricky for some because of the steep angle. Removable drive cage is hard to seat while your connectors are installed in the drives (this is the only way to go if using 2.5" drives). I would have given this case a five but the cage issue is kind of a big deal. I have built hundreds of computers and I would not recommend this as a first case as you are likely to break your SATA connectors if not VERY careful. I would not recommend this case if you have never worked on ITX formfactors before either.
Other Thoughts: For fear of becoming another reviewer whining about how there is absolutely no room in this case whatsoever (which I cant stand, Hey. Then dont buy ITX moron.) The case works well for its intended purpose and with some careful planning of the wire management you should have a nice little machine. This is my ideal desktop solution.
