Introduction
I would like to thank
inWin for supplying the review sample.
The InWin A5 is the largest of the A series, with the A1 being an ITX variant and the A3 being able to handle M-ATX boards. Being the biggest of the bunch, the A5 is not only capable of ATX but also E-ATX builds, while being surprisingly compact. While such big motherboards can fit in a slew of Mid-Towers out there, most demand some sort of tangible compromise when employing that biggest form factor, but the A5 aims to provide a useful balance by keeping things simple with a focus on the same sturdy build quality as the original A1.

Packaging
The InWin A5 ships in a clean brown cardboard box with the model name prominently placed on one and an outline of the front of the chassis on the other. On the sides, there is a specification table as well as a short feature list.
The chassis is held in place by two thick Styrofoam spacers, while a bag protects it from scratches and fingerprints, so you get your InWin A5 in pristine condition.
