Posted June 20, 2017 I have long been on a quest to find the most minimalist PC case. A quality aluminum build, basic elegant square shape with curved corners, and a full tempered glass side panel, love the look of the outside of the inwin 909. Inside would have flat and empty motherboard tray, no extra frills, just an elegant, quality, and satisfying interior, something similar to the LIAN LI PC-O10WX or ttl's modification of the mastercase 5 for his ryzen rgb build in this video. It would be a full tower. My beef with the 909 is its odd layout, the hard drive cages at the top, and the many holes in the tray that make the backside of the case visible. Any existing case that resembles these traits closely or am I only dreaming? Would I be better off modding an existing case like the 909 or building a custom case? Any comments appreciated.

I've got one, and it's an amazing combo of awesomeness and understatement. It's a case that looks wonderful, but won't detract from your components.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at first turned off by the front panel and its shape, but the more I dwell on it the more I don't care / actually start to like it. One more thing about this case is the motherboard tray, it's a bit messy with the ssd mounts, contours in a lot of places and the many holes in the tray letting light through. I'm sure its nothing a little plasticard and modding could fix, just initial concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was initially drawn to this case, but what really turns me away is the size, it feels really crowded. As well as the fact that it is literally a rectangular prism, I am more looking for curved edged, more similar to the 909. It's really picky and specific I know, but i suppose that's why I came on here to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
