🏢 IN WIN B1 Mini-ITX Tower Case: Tempered Glass Panel, 200W PSU, 80mm Side Fan Review

As a workstation, this case is simply great! The case is solid and fairly easy to put together, although there was no physical instruction manual, just a barcode directing you to the instruction manual on their website. In this case, the i7 8700's noise and heat ratings are pretty good. With a fan curve of 20% to 40%, it is always quiet with a maximum temperature of 72 °C. I used Cooler Master's low-profile CPU heatsink and replaced the included slim RGB fan with a Scythe RGB 92mm fan. The only

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…

Revain has kindly sent a used unit marked as new. There were 2 sets of mounting screws and no screws for the hard drive. After further investigation, the box with the suitcase shows a sticker with a different address. Just bad Revain practice. Now I know I hate when people review a product because the seller is awful, but this kind of questionable practice should be called out when it's pure Revain. I didn't realize it until I finished building it or otherwise sent it back (which in itself…

TLDR: Simply put, the case doesn't provide good airflow and the included 80mm fan doesn't do a good job of pushing warm air out. It's also a noisy fan and 80x15mm fans aren't common, leaving you with few replacement options. Before placing it in this case, I ran an open testbed assembly to compare performance. With the 4690k and NH-L9i cooler, temperatures in this case were about 10-20°C warmer at each of the 5 different fan speeds I tried. For comparison, the L9i was 56 C warmer than ambient…

Very advantageous, since the power pack is included. It also makes finding a small form factor power supply easier, and most of the wiring is already done. I'm just using a stock heatsink/radiator, but there's a small caveat. Given the fan in one case, that was to be expected. I can place this case behind my computer monitor on my desk without having to move my desk so it takes up very little space. Looks good and the quality of the material matches the price. I would definitely buy it again…
