In Win Introduces the 309 Gaming Edition Case

[btarunr]

InWin today announced availability of its upgraded 309 Gaming Edition mid tower ATX PC chassis, which features a unique front panel equipped with 144 addressable LEDs that allow owners to play three classically inspired games using its exclusive gamepad. InWin's innovative, addressable RGB LED front panel is a vivid display that's sure to stand out from the crowd. Using InWin's latest GLOW X software, it allows users to completely customize the LED arrangement in a personal expression, which includes creating animations of up to 40 frames,10 times more than the original 309. There are also eight built-in lighting modes that can be easily changed, while the customization mode provides a simple, intuitive interface. A new internal microphone can also react to sounds and voices with reactionary lighting effects.

Four premium InWin Saturn ASN120 fans are pre-installed in the system, offering a complete package for gamers to jump straight in and build their new PCs. With superb airflow-to-noise ratio and soft ARGB lighting. Users can control the Saturn ASN120 fan speed and lighting via either GLOW X software or motherboard lighting software where available. Each Saturn ASN120 fan provides up to a powerful 77.17CFM of airflow and 3.12 mm/H2O static pressure that's ideal for liquid cooling radiators. At typical speeds, they operate at an extremely quiet 25 dBA. InWin's patented modular connectors allow the fans to daisy-chain for simpler, neater cable management.



The 309 Gaming Edition provides placement for up to seven fans and versatile accommodation for liquid cooling: two 360 mm radiators (3x120mm) and a rear 120 mm fan, in an optimized airflow layout. The unique top chamber design houses the PSU and up to three of the fans, for effective airflow and heat exhaust. Other thoughtful design features include tempered glass side panel with tool-less removal, GPU holder support and dust filters that can be easily removed for cleaning.

The front I/O is placed along the side edge of the front panel for easy access. It includes an USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, 3.5 mm headphone and microphone jacks and LED control buttons. Supports up to E-ATX motherboards with seven PCI-Express slots, all while cooling hardware like the GPUs, add-in cards or M.2 SSDs by receiving direct airflow from any floor-mounted fans, keeping them cooler.

This case looks like something that should had stayed as a prototype for illustrative purposes for conventions and trade shows rather than actually being openly sold to the masses.

Funny thing is, not even on their website they show a single picture of the other panel to verify if there's any exhaust/intake with a dust filter. They only show the same close up of all the 1970s disco light show with 1980s arcade mania you can have.

speaking of cases, GamersNexus just announced their favorite case of all time. that is no easy feat.

 

[ZoneDymo]

this is just embarrassing tbh.

 

[Audioave10]

That is just TOO much bling-blang for most of us I think.

 

[InVasMani]

Yeah but $200+, and would of liked it even more if they made it a little taller and put the PSU side ways.

o yeah https://www.techpowerup.com/review/fractal-design-torrent-rgb-tg/

I was thinking the same thing. To make things worst, that front panel with the LED lights may even contribute to some extra heat in the case while limiting airflow into the case is just downright dumb. I feel InWin is trying too hard to differentiate themselves from competition, but this casing design is a fail to me.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Not happy with the psu on top, takes away room for larger radiators.

 

[PLAfiller]

Reminds me of the worst case GamersNexus reviewed. Had a similar fan-layout, that could kill a high-load PC in less than 10 mins Very hard pass on this one.

This case from Fractal Design is getting a lot of good reviews from what I can tell. In contrast with this InWin 309 "Gaming Edition" case, the latter just pales in comparison in every way. I InWin have taken the gamer = RGB lighting concept too far, and forgot about the important aspects of a good PC case.

 

[Valantar]

Wait, are people here surprised that In-Win has designed a case with (seemingly) terrible airflow? That's their standard mode of operations. This layout isn't even remotely new for them after all - if I were to guess, I'd say it's re-using tooling from a previous case with an updated front panel.

To be fair, they just created a whole new mensing of "playing games on your PC". Can't really put a price on that, now, can you?

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

takes away room for larger radiators

let me rephrase this.. takes away room for ideal radiator placement.

 

[Thribits]

The real question is if you can play doom on that frontpanel
