In Win 904

[Darksaber]

The In Win 904 is aiming to accomplish one thing: to make computers beautiful. And it does, strutting its mixture of thick aluminium and tempered glass around perfectly. Consider it the McLaren of cases: too tight for that family of four, senselessly expensive to most, but put it into a row with all the cases out there and people will look at it in awe.

I respect it for what it is but I'd rather have a plastic window that isn't tinted. I personally wouldn't buy this if I was in the market for a clean looking case.

 

[FX-GMC]

That case looks so good.

 

[djisas]

I love good looking cases, i could see me buy one of these for half it's price....
Wouldn't fit all my hardware in but some stuff can be upgraded\removed...

 

[ogharaei]

Nice case

Editor's Choice? For the rich, yeah.

The average Joe can buy a full PC for the price of this case.

Work of art.

 

[Disparia]

Very nice, this is "just different enough". Too many designers think uniqueness means creating gaudy or gimmicky cases, in which case they almost always go too far.

Couple things In-Win could do:

- They should cut a hole in the 5.25" drive bay and make the blank a washable filter. If you're not utilizing that space, then the power supply could be reversed.

- Try to clean up the front USB/audio wires and the intake fan area. I know, minor quibble because when tied up those wires aren't going to restrict airflow all that much, but at this price, I'm going to bring it up.

Other than that, all I could request is that In-Win will bring us an mITX case done in this style!

Agreed - especially in the US due to the price difference. But what choice do you have if you really want a chassis like this and how much will it cost you? If you look at the available choices out there, then the 904 is a pretty damn sexy one for that crowd.

Looks great, but damn at that price. it would be much higher in Canada.

Also I notice that your backplate mounting is incorrect and would have issues if you tried to get testing on temps.
The notches are suppose to go around the screws.

Good eye! I will fix that for future reviews. TBH, there is no CPU on this board .

Intriguing case, I'd maybe use it in an artist's studio office or something for the look, but for myself I couldn't get the cooling performance I need out of it.

• No fans included out of the box

Please explain to me, why this is a negative thing?

If we talk about cheap cases, then yes, fans should be included. However, it is a completely different thing with expensive cases, as chances are pretty high, that the user will replace the stock fans anyway. So it's a good thing, that those users do NOT have to pay for a random fan model they would throw out anyway. It's basically not possible to equip a high end case with a proper fan, that will satisfy any potential customer out there.

In Germany it costs 180 EUR (=250 USD).

How about satisfying the users that already spent 250$ on the case and dont want to spend another 30+ on fans that should be included with the price?
