A Closer Look - Inside

To access the interior, simply remove the two push pins and pull off the covers. Even though the In Win A1 is quite compact, there is no other way to get into the case. In fact, the main point of entry is definitely the side with the glass panel. However, if you look at the opposite side, the functional features and layout really don't allow for another implementation.


On this side, you will find a fourth 120 mm mounting possibility for air cooling. This means you can install a total of four fans within the A1, which is pretty impressive considering the overall size of the chassis.


The motherboard area is pretty straightforward, but comes with a large opening that is only covered by SSD trays, so you should even be able to access the backside of the CPU area with everything assembled.


Behind the plastic cover in the front of the chassis is the pre-installed 600 W PSU. It is quite compact but potent enough to really power anything you can throw inside the A1. If you want a tad bit more power, the A1 Plus has a 650 W unit instead. The plastic PSU shroud does not only serve a cosmetic purpose by hiding the power supply itself from view, but also allows you to route cables and hide those as well.


Looking at the floor, it is apparent where the two floor-based fans come in handy. If you install a fully sized GPU, these cooling units push cool air right on to the GPU heatsink fans, which will certainly help keep temperatures down. A quick peek at the ceiling reveals the Qi charging pad, which is powered by a USB cable.


Besides that, all the leads within the A1 are pretty generic and black, and of the usual plugs, so you should have no issues getting everything hooked up.
