In Win Releases Ironclad Full ATX Case

In Win released its newest case, the Ironclad. The case makes extensive use of an industrial design with parts of its exterior making use of perforated metal, appealing more to the LAN-party animals and case-modders. It is a fairly large full-ATX tower measuring 550x225x566mm (21.7"x8.9"x22.3") HxWxD, which is made mostly of SECC steel. It has 5 external 5.25" bays and a drive cage with six 3.5" drive bays. Also included is a 2.5" bay for SSDs. The motherboard tray features cable-management holes, along with a big hole at the CPU socket area for managing CPU coolers with backplates. There are 8 expansion slots, with the 8th one making installing double-slot graphics cards on the last expansion slot easy. Each slot cover has a vent with dust-filters. Dust filters also make it to other areas such as the PSU air intake and the front grill.

The case has vents on almost every side. Fans include one 120 mm front, a rear 120 mm, a top 120 mm fan (while the top has slot for two 120 mm fans), a large 220 mm fan on the side-panel, which also has holders for four 120 mm fans instead of the 220 mm fan. Some panels also come with noise-dampening foam padding. Right below the expansion slots and above the PSU, there are four holes for water-cooling tubings, for two independent loops. The front-panel is located on the top, and has FP audio, two USB ports, two eSATA, and an IEEE-1394a. Although released, In Win didn't announce a price for the Ironclad.

So if I am right, the manufacturers time line is.........
2006- alot of people are painting their interior black..
2007- more are...
2008- maybe their onto something, we should try a few and see if they sell.
2009- There selling like freaking crazy we should have thought of this before.
2010- Thermaltake claims they invented it by using some stupid Buzzword that they market all their stuff with.

Sorry, had to give them a shot ...they make it so easy:)

Pretty much...still, Cooler Master hasn't figured out that the HAF looks awesome with a painted interior and the AMD version would look boss with red interior. Manufacturers are starting to paint more cases black on the inside. The only bad thing this results in for us is slightly higher pricing.
