InWin A5

[Darksaber]

The InWin A5 may look like an ATX chassis based on its compact design, but manages to squeeze E-ATX compatibility into its interior. Sporting the same sturdy look and feel as the A1, it is also surprisingly affordable, which could make it a great choice for those with big boards, requiring a small footprint and understated look.

Wow, looks nice!

The unified motherboard cable is actually less preferable. Due to cases coming with only 1 led, I've become accustomed to connecting the power led to the HDD Activity pins. If the cables don't break out, you can't do that. You need to get an extra breakout dongle.

Agreed. Also, what is it with the dumbing down trend of "we charge double for no reset switch or HDD LED"?

holy crap, it's already been 5 extremely eventful years since the A1's debut. the whole industry has changed. they're really due for a revision if they want to stay as a 'series' in anything but name.

Well they figured out that removing vents for side fans and expansion bays let them jack up the price, and people bought them in droves. Then they did it with front I/O. Now they're doing it with status lights.

People keep buying them /shrug. My HAF 922 is just as functional today as it was 10 years ago.
