IN WIN B1 Mini-ITX Tower Case - 200W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply Included - Tempered Glass Top Panel - 80mm Side Fan (IW-CS-B1BLK-PS200W)

Shockingly, I managed to build a PC with the current GPU price insanity! Granted, it was an HTPC and I used a Ryzen with built in Radeon graphics. I wouldn't have done so without this case, though. When I saw this case, I *had* to pick it up and build something in it.Let me be blunt here - if you haven't built a PC and (for some reason) just want a simple, small build, this would make things insanely easy. It's got a glass top, smoked, so if you want LEDs they'll show through - and if you don't, it's just a nice clean look. Everything is pretty much pre-wired and preset. You don't have to worry about cable management at all. Going to add 2.5" SSDs later? Undo two screws and plug them in the bottom. No cable runs - they're just there and waiting.If you want it to stand on its side (like the product image,) they have a smoked grey plastic stand (with vents so airflow isn't blocked.) This is the only piece I'd say I'm not that sure of - but I'm also not using it, setting it on the feet on the bottom. (If you don't want to use them, detach them. Covers are provided to cover the screw holes.)You're *going* to need a low profile CPU cooler - I went with Noctua - and you're not fitting a GPU in here, so prepare to use an "APU" - AMD or Intel chip with integrated graphics, that is.Other than that? This is a very nice looking, very clean, very easy to build in case. Absolutely worth putting a build in.

I like this case...maybe I like the inwin chopin a bit more with it's sleek curved brushed aluminum exterior that case is severely lacking in the PSU department...I think a perfect next product for these guys is a version 2 of the chopin with a 200watt or maybe just maybe a 300watt PSU...I will buy that lol...that's not a maybe that's a I DO lol...I understand the costs tho so in know what this one is abs plastic but at this formfator you are trying to woo the enthusiast so price is less of a factor for us crazys lol...currenty I have this spec out with a 5700G on the ASRock b450 itx fatality and Im gona say it now, the 80mm fan is a godsent, this case simply would not be able to withstand the temps of this core at full tilt without some real forced airflow...that was my other complaint with the chopin altho it had a massive mesh side panel(keep that in v2 lol) it needed help exhausting that air...and with desing short of slapping 2 40mm fans on top like a niandrethal there was no way to get better airflow...so my recommendation is for v2 of the chopin...make it a bit thicker in 2 places...front and back;) this will allow for the use of 80 or 92mm fans in the front and eliminate the odd thickness cap of hdds in the back and also alow for the use of standard flex ATX PSUs so there is no need to desin one from scratch in house and just maybe it will be thick enough to accommodate a low profile pcie card like a capture card or GPU(the GPU part is not a priority but some would appreciate it especially in this esthetic)

I could have just gotten one of the many Mini-ITX cases that are just square and moved on but I thought this case seemed interesting and decided to give it a shot.To start off with, whatever ITX board your gonna put inside this...it's gonna be a tight fit...not terrible...just tight. Routing wires that are not part of the power supply..I would recommend not screwing the m'board down until you run them underneath it to your liking. Underneath is an open hatch of sorts where you stick an NVME ssd on the backside of ITX boards that have that feature. I used it a routing hole for more wires and it works well for that.The power supply in it seems to work fine. I have no complaints. The setup I have only uses around 18 to 25w so overheating or use is not a worry for me. It's not even warm to the touch. The only minor gripe I have about the power supply is that it doesn't have any "extra" connections to add anything else. I had to split off an SATA power connection with a dual SATA splitter cable to add a ZALMAN Fanmate fan speed controller to control the heat...which I'll talk about next.The only other thing to consider with such tight spaces is heat. It does get warm inside this case...but it does have a pretty nifty setup in which if you use the stand it comes with to stand the case on its end...air is drawn in form the bottom and then it is sucked out of the top by an In-win custom 80mm fan...it's not your normal 80mm size fan...it's half the thickness but it's not really that loud. I started off by using the system speed connection on the m'board to control the fan but it wasn't to my liking so I added a ZALMAN Fanmate to help. It works great. It's tight but I stuck it in a corner of the case where it's wedged against the case wall and the m'board itself. Snug as a bug in a rug. All the cable are run underneath the board itself.SSD placement is also another really novel idea in that it sits on the bottom of the case with their own custom SSD tray that comes with its own integrated cable to just plug ito the board. Works fine. You can add an extra SSD to the mix if you want or..the bottom also has access to NVME slot on the bottom of the board if your board has that.I kinda wished they could have figured out a way to add a PCI slot on the case where you could add a low profile mini-pcie style card for extras...the Power Supply sits in that spot so there's just not enough space. Oh well. Im adding an NVME adapter to the slot itself to see if I can get that to work...I've never used and NVME ssd so that'll be a first for me.As it is, I installed Linux Mint to this and everything is nice and zippy and have no issues. This may be used one day for a media player or a little firewall. I'm not sure...I just wanted to try this case out and see how it went. So far...so good.

The media could not be loaded.  This case is amazing as a workstation! Case is sturdy and it is pretty simple to assemble even though there was no physical user manual, just a barcode that sends you to their website's user manual. With an i7 8700 in this case, the noise level and warmth are pretty good. Having a curve fan between 20% to 40%, it is at all time quiet with a max temperature of 72C. I used Cooler Master low profile CPU radiator and swapped the RGB slim fan that came with it with a Scythe 92mm RGB fan. The only bad part is that the cables from the case are a bit hard and you will need to bend them because of the constricted space. Nevertheless, this case is meant as a workstation, as for gaming maybe just old titles to 720p light gaming.

The media could not be loaded.  Es lo mejor que he tenido hasta ahora.. si se dan cuenta en el vídeo tengo otra PC más grande.. pero esta mini pc es mi favorita.. la llevo para todos lados y es súper portátil, la verdad apantalla mucho.. mi equipo tiene un ryzen 5 5600g, 16 GB de ram, 2 discos duros de 2tb de almacenamiento y por su puesto todo esto cabe en este formato mini.. genial no creen?.. ojalá y se animen a comprar esta carcasa, no se van a arrepentir, y además si le ponen un teclado 60% wireless y su mouse también wireless.. van a ser la envidia de todos.. créanme.. saludos

Great for HTPC/mini PC build. can house a <65w and will not throttle it even on the Intel 12th gen OEM poor cooler I get the full turbo clock on my i3 12100 OEM cooler no low profile cooler need as it has a cooler size above 60mm with sticks on RGB ram looks good. If you ok using a iGPU it is fine and a good build you can just sit on a self. by the TV or on the book shelf as I have mine. Get a little warm if you push the hell out of you CPU but not to hot it will throttle. But I would limit to a 65w intel or a GE Ryzen model as the standard AMD cooler in a bit to big for it really. you need to take the out ring of the cooler off for air flow, or better still get a strong low profile cooler. but all OEM 65w TDP Intel coolers will fit no issue and stay within it turbo range with ease. Hoping AMD will soon drop a 35w AM5 <65w APU with RDNA3 decoders in it. But for a case for a non gaming office or bedroom PC it is good. they white and wood one looks better mind but costs a lot more. if going with any high spec CPU get the mash version as it has better air flow which you'll need. Haveing a dust filture at the bottom does work and cut the need to clean it out more often. I been using it a year+ and not yet had to de dust my build only whip of the filter at the bottom.

Très content de ce boitier. Facile à assembler et à maintenir. Avec la carte mère appropriée, c'est facile d'installer 2 SSD régulier 3.5" et 2 SSD M.2, le 2e avec la trappe d'accès au dessous. La seule chose à faire attention est la hauteur du ventilateur pour le processeur. Je voulais un fan RGB, alors j'ai dû opter pour un modèle de Cooler Master, le MasterAir G200P Refroidisseur d'air à profil bas RVB avec dissipateur thermique ultra-bas de 39,4 mm. J'avais acheté un autre modèle de Cooler Master, cependant il était trop haut (60mm), ainsi le couvercle en verre ne fermait pas et le flot d'air n'était pas approprié. Ne pas oublier d'acheter un processeur avec carte graphique intégrée car vous ne pouvez pas installer de GPU dans ce boitier. La ventilation inclue avec ce boitier est parfaite en ce qui me concerne, je roule un i7 10700K sans souci en OC, sur une Z490. Excellent achat pour le format, c'est ce que j'avais besoin.

Me encantó el diseño buenos acabados, ocupa poco espacio, lo uso como equipo multimedia luce muy elegante en mi sala

This is a great looking case. Unfortunately the lack of airflow forced me to send it back, the glass front really stifles the case. Would be fine for someone just wanting to run a funky desktop or HTPC with a lower spec APU. You've need to be careful with your cooler choice. Something like a Noctua low profile would probably help. Shame, as it's an awesome looking thing.
