Inwin IW-S564G-ATX
We have not received much communication from Inwin until just prior to this review. Inwin has been quietly revamping its offerings and preparing for another assault to try to win a THG Editors' Choice award. We received two new cases from Inwin this time around. Inwin still ranks as one of the leading case choices for do-it- yourself consumers (DIYs) based solely on their name recognition.
While today's case buyers are more familiar with the new heavyweights that have carved out a niche in the case marketplace with exciting features and new innovations targeted at a more consumer/gamer oriented audience, Inwin continues to do what it has done for a long time now; and that is to produce quality chassis products. We believe that this strategy has hurt Inwin somewhat, as Inwin has not previously been adding new innovations into their product line; however, Inwin is starting to change this with the addition of new models.
