In Win H-Fame Miniaturized to ITX Specifications

btarunr · Jan 11, 2013, 04:32 AM

In Win unveiled the H-Frame Mini, an adaptation of the original for mini-ITX motherboards. The 263 x 122 x 273 mm case is little more than a stack of metal plates held together by bolts, which make room for the motherboard tray, and other components. Little is known about the H-Frame Mini, other than its included 120W power supply, color options, and USB 3.0-equipped front-panel.

cdawall · Jan 11, 2013, 06:51 AM

Does it come in other colors? Looks like a good start for my server.

Looks nice... Good luck cleaning dust from your server every 2-3 days

erixx · Jan 11, 2013, 08:45 AM

Nope. Servers (at least home servers, not corporate servers) run not hot usually, so I would build a passively cooled box that does not suck air in.

Frick · Jan 11, 2013, 08:57 AM

Looks great.

micropage7 · Jan 11, 2013, 08:58 AM

come on make the aluminum bolder than this

Widjaja · Jan 11, 2013, 09:01 AM

In win making something which is actually kind of appealing.
Only if I could find a mini ITX for a 775skt CPU.

The Intel DQ45EK is actually readily avaliable here at about €130.

Some versions of the 9300-itx are still available on the Zotac site, perhaps you can order one directly, and the 9300 is very good for watching movies and also runs some old games quite well.

lZKoce · Jan 11, 2013, 11:26 AM

I need more details about this. A front pic only is half the story. Well, patience is a virtue.

theubersmurf · Jan 11, 2013, 01:00 PM

More and more I see them making cases I like the look of.

brandonwh64 · Jan 11, 2013, 01:08 PM

Cost too much and is a dust magnet... Ill pass.

Agreed.

A friend of mine told me this week he wanted to build a new computer(meaning "I" will be building him a new computer)He also said he saw a cool case he wanted(the big H-Frame) I flat out told him, that case is not for you. You don't dust your PC as it is. Keep looking

Jizzler · Jan 11, 2013, 03:59 PM

Nice. It's simple to build and no power-brick (hopefully, it doesn't really specify the configuration of the 120w). While I don't like a lot of what In-Win does today, they still put out a model here and there that piques my interest.

As for dust, I don't really see the problem? It's an open-frame case so you don't have to take anything apart. Two of the systems here I have to open up and blow out about once/month. Wife's system has a single intake fan with a filter, so I only have to clean it out every three months.

And since I already have it uploaded... classic In-Win! http://theburnerishot.com/photo/In-Win-Q500.jpg

Ferrum Master · Jan 11, 2013, 08:24 PM

ah... Playstation 2 esque, I like it too...

Octavean · Jan 11, 2013, 10:57 PM

Interesting,....

I thought the In-Win H-Frame looked like this blue one here under the D-Frome,...

Thefumigator · Jan 13, 2013, 02:42 AM

Except for the power supply, I bet you can make your own case by just buying the plates and making cuts. A wooden version maybe... modders would have fun

Animalpak · Jan 14, 2013, 06:29 AM

hope the motherboards developers push more and more on Mini ITX Mobo's !

[H]@RD5TUFF · Jan 15, 2013, 07:13 AM

Would make for a neat looking HTPC, I was able to pick this thing up and look at it at CES, and the quality is quite good.
