In Win tends to offer the wildest designed cases of any manufacturer out there. While this is something the company is well known for, there seems to be too much time invested in making cases that look cool, while less and less R&D is put into an updated body tooling. We reviewed the In Win BUC nearly a year ago, and the company is still using the same internal design as back then. Sharing the same interior as the BUC is certainly not a bad thing, but it feels like all the other manufacturers are thinking about how to innovate and modernize their line-up, while In Win just slaps new panels on a chassis.
That said the BUC 101 does offer a good set of functionality and features. Screw-less optical drive bays, useful clips for the expansion slots and a hot-swap bay are well implemented, while three fans are an adequate set to include in a case of this price range.
However, many aspects feel dated or simply too simple: the breakout motherboard expansion slot covers and lack of removable HDD cage are two such aspects. The BUC 101 is a damn cool looking and well built case, but In Win really needs to go the extra mile and ensure it keeps up with the times, offering unique internal features. All while keeping to push the external design aspect, as they have done so with great success so far.
