Review on 🏒 IN WIN B1 Mini-ITX Tower Case: Tempered Glass Panel, 200W PSU, 80mm Side Fan by Samuel Blakeley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good case for size and price

I used to have an Asrock Deskmini with a home server that I use to host Minecraft, Ark, 7 Days To Death etc. I also use it to store media, plex and sometimes plug into your tv and play things like Rocket League, Paladins, Overwatch. I switched to this case for two reasons: it allows you to use a true Mininitx motherboard for overclocking and tweaking that desktopmini doesn't offer, and it looks amazing in entertainment. Setup in my basement System I used here: Aorus x570 AMD 3400g Motherboard Noctua Black Low Profile Cooler 2x2 TB Samsung Evo SSDs32 GB Gskill Trident RGB @3600MHz Cas 16 Everything works great, fans so-so. for mounting and replacing the fan with another 80mm from Noctua. It's an odd low-profile width, though, and isn't actually plugged in, just tucked into a plastic panel on that side of the case. The temperature seems normal so I'm not worried about that. The only thing that really bothers me in this case is that the cables get really tight where you need to manage them and are visible through the tempered glass. The mobo I have also glows from that side, so it's highlighting the cord over there. If they made this case with just a few millimeters more room it wouldn't be a problem, or if they blacked out that part of the tempered glass completely. I need to turn off the RGB lighting on the mobo so it's not as noticeable but still visible when looking straight at it.
