Review on IN WIN 301: High-Performance White Tempered Glass Micro-ATX Mini-ITX Tower for Gaming Enthusiasts by Reginald Hamilton

This case is amazing b

I bought this for a close friend and converted his computer into it. Installing was really fun. I highly recommend installing all 5 case fan options. Airflow is pretty patchy unless you use all available fan slots. Two 120 m fans on the front are used for exhaust air. They're connected to some sort of "vent" that pulls air out of the side of the case. It has two locations at the bottom for 120m air intakes and also where your main air intake filter is located. Then a 120 m long exhaust fan at the rear. My friend only had one fan header and I told him he needed to install 5 case fans so I connected the other 4 fans to his power supply and fed them each through 7V resistor extensions. If I remember correctly the heatsink spacing is 6, 2 inches. It had a Hyper T4 heatsink. It will be installed with a margin of 1 inch. If you want to use more than one PCIe slot, you will have to do without an intake fan on the bottom. The two intake fans on the bottom can also be used with a dual-slot graphics card, but all other cards use the remaining space for a second intake fan. In addition, if you use two intake fans from below, one of the fans partially blows fresh air from the outside directly onto your graphics card. I can't stress enough how important good airflow is for this little beast. In this build we used 6 Thermaltake 120m Blue Ring fans (including the heatsink fan). They look so pretty through the tinted glass. incredible quality of this case. He is intoxicating, although small. Even when empty, it has a certain weight. durable high quality steel. The cable management was like this: if you close the back, you don't want to open it again, lol. We managed to install two 2.5-inch drives and a full-size mechanical drive. Don't forget to plug in that weird SATA power connector coming out of the front I/O or your headlights won't light up!

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
