IN WIN 901 Black Aluminum / Tempered Glass Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case Compatible with ATX PS2 / EPS 12V PSU Power Supply

Pros: This case has the best fit and finish out of any I have had. It is heavy for what it is. Has a very thick "brushed" stainless steel look (although aluminum). It can accommodate somewhat long graphics cards, decent sized PSUs and even relatively large (not huge) air cooled heat sinks. Also supports water coolers. Air flow seems to work well for the most part if you use good fans (you have to buy your own). The tinted tempered glass gives it a nice look, although the glass panels are a little on the thin side. The screw accessory kit is very complete. It comes with screw bags that have an over-abundance of screws for most possible standard components that this case supports (and the bags are even well labelled). Also all of the drive bays have quick disconnect fittings which all line up real well with the components. Overall excellent quality!

Cons: So now the bad side of things. The slim dvd drive that the case accepts is in an awkward place (it is nicely hidden) but it is kind of awkward to pop the disks in and out of the tray from that position. Also it requires a floppy disk power connector for some reason, so if you get this case and really want to use this drive bay, make sure your PSU comes with a floppy power connector (or you need to purchase one separately). Also while it allows relatively long graphics boards, the width is another problem. I bought an MSI r9 280 and while the board itself fit fine, the power connectors on the side of the board were nearly flush with the glass. Needless to say with the power connections from the PSU attached, the glass couldn't be put on that side. Luckily since this case was for my daughter I put my older GTX 560 in which fit fine not only because it was more narrow but because the power connections were on the end of the board. (I kept the MSI board for my own computer replacing the 560) I was looking at the newer boards after this and most seem to have the connectors on the long side of the board. The only company that I have seen so far that seems to have kept them on the end is Club 3D based on pictures I saw. Also like many other ITX cases, cable management is a little bit more of a chore than normal. Also while not really a con, because of it being very substantial, it will weigh more than another mini ITX rig, so if you plan I transporting it, you may want to reconsider for that reason (and the fact that you may break the glass, scratch or mar your great looking new case!). Also the price is high, but in this case you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: As with any mini ITX case, I would recommend a modular PSU with good flexibility otherwise cable management will be more difficult. I decided on using a Noctua 9H-U9B SE2 air cooler on this. And while I would recommend a lateral air cooler like this (and the Noctua works very well) in this case because of where the intake and exhaust is, it looks like a big eyesore which kind of subtracts from the aesthetics of the whole thing. If I built the whole thing again I would probably end up putting a water cooler on it (and still might). Even with the cons I still give this 5 stars because of its great looks and excellent quality and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

Pros: -Case is stunning
-Glass and aluminum design is very high quality

Cons: -No space for water cooling at all really. Will have to have a fan sticking out on the back of it. For the size of the case, that really sucks
-Cable management isn't very good

Overall Review: -Can't recommend this over the Phantek Evolv ITX.
-Mine happened to have an aluminum defect (just unlucky) and thus I had to return it.
-If they improve the interior design to allow for better space management and cable management, it would be much better. INWIN should take a look at the Phanteks Evolv ITX for their space efficiency.
