Introduction

I would like to thank In Win for supplying the review sample.

In Win was founded in 1985 with a focus on manufacturing and marketing PC cases. They have come a long way since then, offering not only various enclosures for all types of users, but also power supplies and server enclosures. Their case designs have made some waves in recent months as they have released bold looking enclosures and have also catered to the female PC user with their designs.


We are taking a look at the In Win Dragon Rider, which is one of their latest offerings. As is custom with In Win, the design of the case looks very elaborate with a cool theme - let us dive right in!

Packaging

The cases from In Win are well known for their detailed and non-traditional designs and their packaging is very colorful as well, clearly conveing the message of this case. In front you will have an image of a knight and a dragon locked in battle, while the rear goes into greater detail about the features of the enclosure itself. A list of features and specifications can be found on the side panels of the full color box.


The chassis is held in place with two thick foam spacers and protected by a heavy duty plastic bag.

You will also receive a fairly detailed manual and two bags filled with small parts and screws. In Win has also included extension cables for the 8 pin CPU power cable of your PSU. We would certainly love to see more manufacturers include such a piece, just in case.


Now we have to jump ahead a bit to show you what else is part of the chassis. In Win has included rails for all drive bays. These come pre installed in one of the 5.25 inch bays, neatly sorted and packed. They all have a very flashy design and are rubber coated as an anti-vibration measure.


On top of that, you will receive a 3.5 to 5.25 inch bay adapter, to allow for installation of such devices within one of the external drive bays.
