In Win 301 Mini Tower Conclusion

In Win is best known for it’s handcrafted, high quality, but expensive cases. The 301 is not expensive, but it maintains In Win’s dedication to high quality chassis design. Priced at $69.99 (Amazon | Newegg), it’s one of the cheapest cases with tempered glass available today.  However, in return for this the 301 shows less consideration towards its functionality and overall interior design.  I wonder if this is a sign of things to come in the custom PC industry. Are builders putting less overall equipment in their cases in favor of aesthetics?

You can’t beat this price for an artistic, tempered glass design. Functionally, if you prefer cooling, expansion, and gaming over aesthetics, then you can definitely do better. But that’s not the point of the In Win 301. When it comes to being an aesthetically pleasing, high quality build, this product pulls few punches. Tack on those high quality materials, and the In Win 301 will last you for a good long while.

I award the In win 301 an 8.7 out of 10 for a quality product.
