its a person on psn, i was curious because of the name of your teamspeak server

Oh no, its just a short version of my last name.

[Notional]

I guess they dropped the wooden lid. Too many mistaken identifies and too much bread stuffed in the case.

 

I think it's nice to see the established case makers do proper ITX cases. But what is up with that gawdy plastic base? Still looks like a cheap hipster bread basket.

One cool thing is on the top is has a built in Wireless charger for phones in the center indicated by the circle.

 

I like the size, lighting and the tool-less glass panel, But i wish they had the wood top like it was first seen at CES.

It also comes with a 600w PSU (looks like a SFX), and has 4 120mm fan spots 2 on the bottom, 1 in the rear, and 1 on the side.

 

The volume is 21L,VGA Card Length: 300mm, CPU Heatsink Height :160mm, more info in the links below.

no price has been announced. I am expecting around $100. (keep in mind it has a SFX 600w PSU in it)

[RotoCoreOne]

That transparent base just kills it for me.

[Bananasplit_00]

Will the GPU even breathe under that? Or is there a fan (that black shroud) 

If its anything like the Lian Li PC-Q21 I have, yes, very easily as there will be ventilations holes there (or for my case, a fan mount, which doubles as ventilation holes when a dual slot card is installed).

10L is really small are their any ITX caes that can take a full size GPU in that size?

DanCase A4, Loque ghost, and more like those

[MrDynamicMan]

Toaster is 10-11 liters, it could if i cut a little bit from the GPU side. i got close to putting a Saphire 280x TriX in there, it would fit if i cut a little bit of metal, but i opted for a tiny 1050TI because it would breath better in there

No idea why is that, I just used your link and went manually to find the A1 and it's the exact same address.

 

EDIT: NVM, there is a slight difference though I did not get any flags.

[Ezzy-525]

AT "IN WIN" HEADQUARTERS...

 

"Ok, we need to showcase the absolute best our new A1 case can look!"

 

Sooo...stock intel cooler and a shitload of RGB yeah?

 

 

Job Done.

 

 

[Cheezdoodlez]

Imagine if RGB wasn't the most important thing. Then we could have had a nice looking case also with a nice looking base instead of a ugly transparent plastic base! 

 

All for that maximum rgb-ness I guess.

I like it... but I also said to myself, no more systems! But what if they were smaller systems...  

It’s not that much smaller! It’s like the size of an mATX case but half the height, and 4 times the price!

When you have the number of towers around the house that I have around, it helps! Also it comes with PSU so that'll be one fewer thing to buy.

you can't compare with those, they have the GPU orientated to the flattest profile using a riser ._.

You mean like the Ncase M1? That thing costs around $200

 

Everyone saying $100 is severely underestimating the cost of this case. Between Anodized aluminum, an integrated 600w PSU and a a convenient Qi charger, this case will most likely be over the $200 mark ( I had a much longer comment listing out specifics but it got deleted because I'm an idiot so I'm shortening it)

 

I do wonder about how close the fans are to the bottom, and exactly how much gap in height there is along the edges. There appears to be enough horizontal space (each fan has 3 sides it can grab air from) but the total volume will be determined by how much vertical opening there is. Probably wont be too bad, though if there's no dust filter down there, the GPU is gonna take the brunt of the dust.

 

Also is it me or does the black case still have the white/gray bottom fan portion? This looks odd to me

Kinda gives off a Sony Vaio Retro type vibe which i can dig.

It’ll be $169.99. Pre-order on May 15th, targeted to start shipping May 30th.

At least you see something in this case! All I see is a basic black box, in fact most cases these days just look like basic black boxes. The clear base is an interesting choice, it’s as if InWin is trying their hardest to stand out from the ocean of basic black boxes (to the point of sabotaging themselves, because everyone just wants a basic black box clearly). 

 

I gotta say that I am stoked that I bought the DeepCool Steam Castle case, since every case from 2018 just looks like a basic black box! R.I.P. case design.

Yes, there is space for 2x 120mm fans underneath that comes with a filter

[cjkacp]

Wonder if one of you can help me... noticed the 370-i Asus board in their trailer video being used with the underglow RGB lights... However, the lights require 12V power (according to their manual) and that board can only can supply 5V... Is this just bull-shit advertising or is there some way they are pulling this off???? Or can that motherboard power the lights? Hardware Canucks also did a video on this case and said that becuase the motherboard had a RGB header "which is perfect, for this case" yet it is also only shown in his video with the lights set to the stick blue when being powered by sata... CAN ANYONE HELP PLZZZ???
