The design concept for D-Frame 2.0 originates from the freedom, individuality and impulsive nature of off-road motorcycles. The combination of steel tubing, anti-flip foot pads with deep tire treads, a power supply in the shape of an air-cooled engine and tempered glass is perfect fusion of art and technology.
Expertly bent tubing is entirely crafted by human hands. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is used to reinforced stability, and unique electrode position, which creates an ultra-smooth finish! The motherboard mounting tray is sandblasted to achieve a refined metallic texture. Every detail reflects the aesthetics of craftsmanship.
The outer frame features a unique two-way open design. With its quick-release fasteners, D-Frame 2.0 allows for easier assembling and custom display platforms.
Open-frame structure improves heat dissipation and airflow is effectively channeled, ensuring excellent ventilated performance.
Flexible and versatile build options give gamers the freedom to customize their gaming rigs. The HDD and cooling fan can be installed at the front or bottom positions.
Four 2.5”/3.5” multifunctional brackets allows gamers to freely adjust quantity and position.
2.5”/3.5” multifunctional brackets positions may be moved forward and backward.
Multifunctional Bracket x 4
- Supports 2.5"/3.5" HDD x 4
Holes are present on the multifunctional bracket, which can conveniently connect water cooling pumps or other modding purposes.
Supports up to five 120mm fans, ventilation for the CPU and hard drive may be freely adjusted.
120mm Fan Bracket x 2
- Supports 120mm Fan x 2
3-in-1 Fan Bracket x 1
- Supports 120mm Fan x 3
- Supports 360mm Liquid Cooling Radiator x 1
Supports the latest high-end graphics cards, CPU heatsink and motherboards E-ATX (12”x13”).
Advanced USB 3.1 Type-C interface provides up to 10Gbps transmission speed*, greatly reducing data transmission time. Dual-side slot also increases convenience.
* Actual transmission speed depends on motherboard specifications.
Unique IN WIN 30th Anniversary Commemorative Thumbscrews
To celebrate In Win’s 30th anniversary, In Win creates the Case & Power Supply limited edition bundle. This specific matched bundle will be marked a serial number of its production.
Each D-Frame 2.0 includes a SIII-1065W power supply, which is exclusively designed for D-Frame 2.0
Pros: This is an absolutely visually stunning case that is crafted out of high quality materials. The tinted tempered glass is thick and solid, and the aluminum used has a pleasing matte finish. The LEDs are as rich and lustrous as the product photos indicate, and the gold thumbscrews are a nice touch that reinforces the color scheme without seeming out of place like in other tempered glass cases. The case is very much an art piece. Unlike many other art piece cases, this case is incredibly easy to build in. Practically everything in the case is modular and can be configured to the user's exact needs. The interior is spacious and there are plenty of cable management cutouts to work with.
Cons: I have several concerns about this case that would be easier to swallow for a $100 case, but in my opinion are completely unacceptable for a $1200 case. First, for as beautiful as the stacked aluminum sheet design looks and how premium the materials feel, the case rattles just from footsteps around it. It gives the case a cheap feeling that belies its gilded appearance. There should have been more care in either securing the aluminum sheets to the case's frame, or some sort of sound dampening utilized if the rattling is unavoidable. Second, there are no grommets or cable management tiedowns in the case. This is unfortunate because of the visibility afforded by the case - it is imperative that cables be managed cleanly in this case or else the visual effect is ruined. Inclusion of cable management tools could greatly improve the experience of building in this case. An even better inclusion would have been a cable management/hiding plate as seen in the Hex Gear cases. Such a plate would also be useful to people seeking to add LEDs to their build, as with the open nature of this case it is almost impossible to conceal strips in a way that won't be visible. Third, LED brightness control utilizes an ugly ribbon-cable style extension that attaches to the motherboard and 24 pin power cable. Out of all the power options available to control LED brightness, this is probably the worst that In Win could have chosen. A case as beautiful as this one demands custom cables, and running custom cables to this extension, then having a custom extension running to the motherboard, creates a visually jarring effect in addition to being much harder to cable manage. The good news is, In Win made this extension removable so I could at least remove it from the case (but had to sacrifice brightness control to do so). Fourth, a minor quibble, but it would have been nice to have the case be slightly taller in order to accommodate a wider selection of 360mm radiators in the top of the case, and DIY 280mm radiators in the front using radiator stands. The case itself is already fairly massive, but just not massive enough to create a silence-optimized custom watercooling loop. Finally, the included power supply is beautiful and infuriating at the same time. Like every other aspect of the case, it looks incredible - it's made of high quality materials and the sides are one-way mirrors that turn transparent when the internal gold LEDs are lit. However, when the PSU is not in use, it emanates a subtle high-pitched whining noise that is just loud enough to be annoying in a quiet room. The only way to avoid it is to keep the LEDs on at all times, which can be annoying at night when trying to sleep. The aesthetics are also a double-edged sword, as it's extremely difficult to clean dust out of the PSU even using a DataVac at full blast. Additionally, the PSU fan itself is by far the loudest component in my build. The PSU fan makes a clicking noise even under its quietest operating mode at idle, and it's very noticeable. Even when I'm gaming using speakers, in quiet moments I can hear the distinct clicking/ticking noise made by the fan. If I didn't already order a set of custom cables for the PSU, I would be considering ditching it for a quieter model with a fanless mode despite how aesthetically pleasing the PSU is. It's just that annoying.
Overall Review: I did RMA the PSU (for which I had to pay shipping). The In Win customer support and RMA staff were both very friendly and turnaround was extremely quick, and I received a brand new PSU. Unfortunately the new PSU had the exact same issues as my RMA'd one, so I suspect the issue is with the PSU design itself and not the particular unit I had. The PSU RMA process did take me out of my NewEgg return period, which unfortunately I would have made full use of. The case is absolutely gorgeous and a visual centerpiece, but some poorly thought out design decisions and the absolutely infuriating PSU noise prevents me from giving me this case a positive review. Again, if this case was significantly cheaper, I would be satisfied with my purchase. But for a case priced in the upper echelon, these issues should not have made it to market.
