In-Win launched a trio of cases at Computex guaranteed to give you wood. Erm, we mean, In-Win’s newest cases are made partly out of wood. So if you buy them… you know what? Never mind.
In a day and age when tempered glass, RGB lighting, and futuristic designs are all the rage, it is refreshing to see a company take a more contemporary approach.
With that said, underneath all the wood, aluminum, and tempered glass you will find three cutting-edge cases with support for modern motherboards and processors, large graphics cards, tall heatsinks, removable dust filters, quick release panels, and modern connectivity such as USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C, USB 3.0, and HD audio. These chassis all support traditional water cooling kits and all-in-one coolers.
While opinions about the “look” of a case are subjective and vary from person to person, we think it is safe to say that the laminated wood finish, combined with the tempered glass panels and subtle lighting effects, gives all three of these chassis a very classic yet stylish look.

velocityg4 They are so ugly. They remind me of all those wood cabinet stereo receivers and TVs of the 70s and 80s. Maybe next they'll try to bring back the beige box.Reply -

Noctua's been chasing that dream for years. -

Man, just think of their brown case fans in a beige box with faux wood drive bay blanks.

Patrick Tobin This is great, most of my baby boomer customers will jump on this more than likely. They LOVE wood grain.Reply -

The second I laid eyes on them, that was my first thought. Cherry or dark oak would look nice. My second thought was that I'm not quite ready to give up an optical drive, even though I don't use them as much anymore. Perhaps offer a matching drive? ;)19759181 said:I think a darker wood would work better. -
falchard Sorry guys, I think Noctua bought out their entire stock instantly to finally have display models.Reply
