In Win Launches the 309 Case with Front Dot-Matrix Display

btarunr · Jul 17, 2019

In Win today launched the 309, a spiritual successor to the 307 case the company showed off at the 2018 Computex. The case is characterized by a dot-matrix front panel display made up of 144 pixels (dots), only this time around they are full RGB. The matrix can hence be used as a groovy audio visualizer or be customized to a far greater degree. The matrix plugs into one of your motherboard's USB 2.0 headers. Inside, the 309 offers an ATX layout with bottom-oriented motherboard tray, and a PSU bay located on top. The top compartment also holds two 3.5-inch drives bays that can each hold 2.5-inch drives. The motherboard tray serves up room for graphics cards up to 35 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16 cm in height. Front panel connectivity includes a USB type-C port besides a couple of type-A USB 3.x ports. Measuring 238 mm x 553 mm x 500 mm (WxDxH), the case weighs 13.65 kg.

I love the rad mount option!

If you could program the front panel to say "That does not compute, Will Robinson", I would buy it just for kicks... :roll:

What you get when you mash a Lite-Brite together with a PC Case.

And here I am... trying to tape that little LED, HD indicator, from flashing.

*sigh*

Style over substance - you can bet that the airflow is going to be terrible.

timta2 · Jul 18, 2019

If you're going to go that far, why not just put a nice LCD display on there, instead?

Interesting idea, too bad resolution is abysmal.
