The InWin Airforce is the flat-packed vision of an ATX chassis from InWin. While available in a more subtle "Phantom Black," the colorful "Justice White" variant really brings home that modular aspect and results in a functional and spacious, albeit slightly simple chassis that could just be worth the whole assembly experience in the end.

Ahah, its true - RGB does give you better performance!

They needed some green tho, to keep the noise down
 
This case seems to be more for toddlers than enthusiasts. :D

It's looks come off as a joke, but then its thermal results are good.

That means that people may actually use this, JUST to have something that stands out from the tempered glass black case crowd
 
Not gunna bring up the racial undertones in the naming scheme, nu uh, not me.
 
Wish there was an option for the Justice Black with solid metal side panels. That would make it look even better, IMO. No need to concern yourself with cable management and internal looks. Just a modern, IKEA-style desktop PC.
 
Plastics can be strong and impact-resistant, they can be brittle and crack easily.

Any idea which category this plastic falls into?

I've used a bunch of basic mATX cases from InWin before for office type PCs and materials have always been really good.
 
InWin, seriously with the no reset button again? Really? WTH... Deal breaker...
I'd venture to guess that the reset is combined with the power button, reset would be held no longer than 1 sec, power cycle longer but short enough to force the shut down.

There aren't extra connectors for the motherboard's reset headers, if that's what you're implying, and short-press of the power button has a function in the ATX spec that most OSes look for and obey, so a short-press cannot be combined with another function like reset without conflicting.
 
actually it looks pretty good, but i prefer more steel than plastic
 
No indication there's any reset switch

Right. This design depends on the power switch to perform double-duty as reset. Which is... not great, IMO.

Although I really like what they did with the PLED leads.
