INTRODUCTION

   Three great things happened this week, first i started and finished the highly anticipated Call Of Duty Black Ops III (3 very well-known actors participate in this game btw), managed to finalize the details of our largest Christmas Mega Giveaway to date (will launch this Saturday) and i had the chance to take a thorough look at one of the most impressive PC towers to have ever reached our lab. I'm sure you all understand that after years and years (over 8 to be exact) of testing PC cases there aren't that many things that can impress me so when one does it's obviously something unexpected. IN WIN may not be amongst the most popular PC case and PSU manufacturers in the world but they've been around in the consumer market for almost a decade now (my first IN WIN review was back in 2008) and have released a large number of award winning products. However it wasn't up until a couple of years ago that they really took the market by storm with their new PC Case line and today with us we have their brand new and quite impressive 805 midi tower.

   IN WIN Development Inc., an ISO 9001 manufacturer of professional computer chassis, power supplies and digital storage devices, is the leading provider of enclosure solutions to system integrators worldwide. Founded in 1985, IN WIN provides high quality chassis that conform to all safety regulations, as well as unsurpassed customer service. With no sharp edges, the logo also portrays a state of energetic harmony between technology and art. Thus, our slogan "Contemporary and Innovative" serves as the foundation of not only our product development but also our attitudes in serving and catering to our strategic partner’s wishes. We take the "im" out of "impossible"… …A brand without persistence is only a name.

   The 805 Midi Tower may be quite smaller compared to some other midi towers in the market but it still has plenty of room inside the mini-ITX, micro-ATX and ATX motherboards. Much like the Ante P380 the 805 has no forward 5.25" optical drive bays and that results in more interior space which can hold a front 120/140/240/280mm radiator (60mm thick) or two 140mm intake fans. There's also room for 3 extra 120mm fans (bottom and rear), three 2.5" drives behind the mainboard tray, one 2.5" drive ontop of the 3.5" drive cage and two 3.5/2.5" drives in the drive cage (this can also be mounted vertically). The two features however which steal the show is the support for a front USB 3.1(Type-C) connector and the three pieces of tempered glass used on both sides and the front of the aluminum tower. This is the first time we've got our hands on such a case so let’s see if tampered glass is the way to go.
