Today we will be reviewing In Win‘s unusual H-Frame Mini. This is a mini ITX case that is following In Win’s shift to premium “designer” cases – as always a big thanks to In Win for providing this review sample!
So we get a clue on the box as to what it’s going to look like – but what else can it support apart from mini ITX cases which now range from tiny to large (CaseLabs S3).
As usual from In Win – we see Aluminum used which we love – keeping it strong but lightweight. We also see that it includes a 180W internal power supply, and it can mount 2×2.5″ drives and one slim optical drive.
We also have some front mount audio and USBs as well as an optional included glass side panel!
The back of the box could probably have contained a few more pictures about the case!
The side does at least show us more detail on the funky sides.
Lastly we have some stickers that clarify some other features – such as again that only a low profile PCI card is supported and that the chassis is “open-air”. Let’s get it opened up then!
Opening up the box reveals a bag including instructions and some accessories:
To the side was a power cable while underneath the instructions is the case itself and the optional glass panel:
The case has plenty of protection in case of the box being mishandled! The case itself is wrapped in a sort of soft touch canvas bag. The glass panel on the other hand is not wrapped.
The glass is tempered and has a hole drilled in each corner:
The instructions are multi lingual
And come in two different forms:
They are plenty detailed though. The accessories come with spares – for example this is what we had leftover *after* installing everything in the case:
Two cable management clamps were provided here, but we never felt a need to use them. In addition the white plastic “thing” is a tool used to remove the hex nuts that secure the side panels. While a wrench could be used, this ensures that you don’t scratch them up and is a nice touch.
Now let’s take a look at the bare case itself!
