It is small and attractive. The front/drive cage section of the chasses is completely removable, which is helpful if not necessary when installing and cabling components. The PSU includes SATA power connectors and 20+4-pin ATX connector. The front bezel lights look cool through the translucent day-glowy blue accent strip (or else I am easily excited).
The steel is a bit light duty and easily subject to damage if dropped. (Note: dropping computers should be avoided, in general.) However the case does not look cheap and is fairly sturdy when completely assembled with cover fastened. The optional 80mm side fan was not included but the top vent air intake filter was.
The 300W PSU is adequate for all the components which will fit in new model from In-Win. Other In-Win models were recently upgraded to a 300W PSU from 240W. I installed: 1 HDD, 1 CD/DVD, P4 CPU, 2 sticks of SDRAM, 1 PCI board (low profile), 1 USB card reader, and 1 80mm fan, and calculated 247W would be required. Obviously 240W is not enough to support that plus a 15-30% reserve. Expect to spend 2-3 time the usual amount of time assembling because of the extreme slimline size. It's not the case's fault. I actually think this case has many advantages over similar slimline cases. Don't make the mistake of ordering regular PCI boards. They must be classified as "low profile". I knew what I was getting into. I wanted a PC for the TV/multimedia stand in my living room. It absolutely had to be small, attractive, and quiet at all costs. I combined it with Intel 965 chipset-MB with QST feature (Quiet System Technology). The result was perfect.
Just the right size for a microATX PC: not too small to be able to work with components when installing. Quiet, and specifically designed for Intel's thermal design.
Case was designed to have a front-panel firewire and Consumer IR receiver, ideal for HTPCs, but it's shipped with a connector module without these features, and I haven't found a way to buy it. Cover is difficult to install. I didn't have a problem with the wiring harness as others did...just realize it's a tight fit due to case size. Low price tradeoff is no vendor support.
Others criticized the plastic CPU fan shroud and discarded it. This part is specifically intended to be used with an Intel-brand motherboard, to concentrate and direct the air flow. If built this way, an additional case fan is unnecessary, and it's very quiet.
