Introduction
I would like to thank
Cooltek for supplying the review sample.
Cooltek has partnered up with Jonsbro to deliver some very interesting aluminum and steel cases. The W1 is no exception as it aims to give you the ability to install a potent gaming rig within its lightweight interior. To put it in their own words:
The "W1" is aimed at customers who want to create a powerful gaming system based on a compact Mini-ITX setup.
So onward we go to see if what they have to say holds true.

Packaging
The Cooltek W1 ships in a cardboard package with black print on it. The front contains an image of the chassis, and the rear holds a blow-up diagram. You will find the specs on both sides of the package. There are no carrying holes to aid in moving it around, but its is pretty small.
Sturdy foam spacers hold the case in place within the box, which is great as such material survives a fall where Styrofoam will break and crumble.
