InWin Introduces F3 Mini Tower PC Case

[GFreeman]

In Win Development Inc. (InWin), a leading innovator in PC hardware has announced the F3 mini tower, which combines aesthetics and practicality for mini ITX and micro ATX builds. This compact enclosure supports the latest trend of motherboards featuring backside connections (ASUS BTF or MSI Project Zero), ensuring the cleanest-looking PC. The front panel consists of mesh windows to enhance cooling directly to the internal components. The F3 utilizes a minimalist approach with its stunning SECC steel and tempered glass materials but also simplifies assembly with a screw-free, unobtrusive design. Choose between black or white variants with wooden accents on the white edition.

Build Big. Stay Compact.
Motherboards with different backside connector placements will not be an issue within the InWin F3 since multi-orientation brackets are available on the motherboard tray. Four PCI-Express slots are available for graphics cards with extra-large heatsinks, supporting up to 340 mm long. The F3 is compatible with NVIDIA's new SFF-ready sizing guidelines to make component compatibility easier for DIY PC builders. The compact enclosure allows CPU heatsinks up to 160 mm tall or radiator support up to 240/280 mm on top for liquid cooling setups. ATX power supplies up to 160 mm long are installed behind the front panel as a space-saving design. The front I/O includes USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C, two additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and a 3.5 mm HD audio combo jack (CTIA).



Premium Neptune AN Fan Bundle
InWin bundles its premium Neptune AN120 PC case fan, which excels at silent static pressure performance, achieving up to 60.1 CFM and 2.27 mm/H2O at just 20.5 dB(A). The ARGB-lit fan blades offer a beautiful glow up to any PC. Up to five additional fans can be installed in the front, top, and bottom.

Other than stupid PCI brackets it looks like n number of other similar micro ATX SFF cases already available on market, also InWin could have made front panel full mesh so PSU could have been isolated from the case.

Front mounted PSU mATX cases really are becoming a trend, aren't they? Right off the top of my head I can think of a few that were released recently-ish. Asus AP201, Sama IM01/IM01 Pro/IM02, Lian Li A3, Jonsbo D30/D31, and I'm sure I could remember a few more if I thought about it hard enough.

The PSU fan can work as another exhaust in this case, especially if you reverse the airflow direction to back-to-front, like it's common to do with this form factor (as long as you slap in a rear filter, that is). But in any case it doesn't look like this case is doing anything revolutionary, both the Asus AP201 and the Sama IM01 Pro already do the same and can have the PSU draw in air from the front.

You'd definitely want to add the optional 2x120mm fans to the bottom of the case otherwise things are going to get toasty with that default off the shelf setup.
