In-Win’s Latest Cases Are (Literally) Sporting Wood

[Guest]

In a day and age when tempered glass, RGB lighting, and futuristic designs are all the rage, it is refreshing to see a company take a more contemporary approach.

They are so ugly. They remind me of all those wood cabinet stereo receivers and TVs of the 70s and 80s. Maybe next they'll try to bring back the beige box.

"Photo Credits: Craig Ferguson." Boy, that chap must be on hard times lately after leaving the talk show if this is what he's doing. lol

Noctua's been chasing that dream for years.

Oh great, yet another place for my coffee ring stains

Man, just think of their brown case fans in a beige box with faux wood drive bay blanks.

This is great, most of my baby boomer customers will jump on this more than likely. They LOVE wood grain.

I think a darker wood would work better.

I think a darker wood would work better.

The second I laid eyes on them, that was my first thought. Cherry or dark oak would look nice. My second thought was that I'm not quite ready to give up an optical drive, even though I don't use them as much anymore. Perhaps offer a matching drive? 😉

Sorry guys, I think Noctua bought out their entire stock instantly to finally have display models.

The headline is "hella" juvenile bruh.

PC doubles as a cutting board. SMH.

I would suggest a USB external optical drive. I haven't used an optical drive in ages and actually wish my laptop didn't have one. I didnt put one in my gaming desktop and i haven't missed it. That being said, you can replace the faces on most optical drives for desktops. Which means In-Win could just release a faceplate that matches.

That mini ITX case looks great, but it's huge at 18L to not even support a 240mm rad...

 

[JackNaylorPE]

"Fake News" ! Well it has to be, they used fake wood. ... do you get a coupon for matching office furniture ... also make from matching fake wood ?

Actually I would love to see a case design whereby you could get templates for making your own custom wood panels....or even provided with a file that you could take to a CNC shop and have them cut the panels accordingly using your own wood material selection.

 

[jbheller]

Im assuming you could take the wood panels off and stain them to any colour you wanted?

I like the look of the ITX and really these days, a 240mm is hardly needed in an ITX build.

Yes there are more functional cases out there, but this still looks pretty good.

And yes, the brown and beige fans would top it off

Oh, my... 70's good'ol'times are back with its plywood-everwhere. Those cases really remind me to my old Atari.

 

[aspinable]

I really want to know the name of a case of the first picture.
Please tell me if you know the name of the case.
I think it's the best.It has 5inch bays, has front switch and usb.

 

[falchard]

I remember a time when I used 5" bays. It was a simpler time when all you needed was a house to get rich.

 

[Memhorder]

If you got hardwood floor, those cases could match nicely.
