Cases that look like the In WIn 904 but are less expensive.

[TheBigFluffyDoge]

I was considering a new case and I stumbled across the In Win 904 and 904 plus and decided that was my choice. I then discovered that it is quite expensive even for the mid tower variant at £164 on Amazon uk. I can't really spend that much on a new case so any suggestions of cases that look similar would be appreciated and if there are any issues with the 904 itself in case I decide to wait for my purchase such as air flow ( I don't see many places to fit case fans) or similar things would be appreciated also.

My preferences for the aesthetics are ideally large panel window and metal exterior with little or no plastic.

Also Corsair cases are good but I find them a bit boring.

Unfortunately, there isn't really other cases in the market like the 904. That case is priced to compete at the high end market. Your best bet would be to check out the Lian Li brand, who are known for their simplistic but elegant aluminum chassis.

Like moreice said, the offer for comparable and especially less expensive cases is really limited. One could be the Cooltek UMX2 or it's little brother UMX1 Plus, which is now also available with a glass window. For the IN WIN 904, your cooling solution should be well thought out, since the space is very limited for classical tower coolers and the rear fan slot is very restricting. A way to go could be an AiO watercooling system with small radiators (maybe the corsair H60i 2nd.) which fit inside the space behind the backplate. I personally don't like the proposed solution of mounting the radiator behind the case since it's destroying the clean look. If you are more creative you could build up a watercooling system for both graphics card and cpu (expensive solution!). If you are not trying to fit in overclocked or high end components, air cooling using small coolers could also be sufficient. If the IN WIN 904 plus would be available in Germany (and for a reasonable price), it probably would become my next case. ;-)

I know it doesn't look as neat as the In Win 904 but its not as expensive. Corsair Obsidian 550D

or if you like the big window option the Corsair Air 540 has that.
