INTRODUCTION

   If you've been around PCs for as long as i have (or even longer) then you probably know that acrylic windows placed on side panels changed forever the design of towers and allowed consumers to "admire" part of the interior components without having to go through all the trouble of modding/customizing their cases. Of course compared to when i got my first tower which had a rather small window at the center of the side aluminum panel today there are models that feature side panels made entirely out of tempered glass thus allowing consumers to view everything inside. IN WIN is perhaps the only manufacturer to have focused so much in the design and manufacture of PC cases using tempered glass and their latest 303 Mid-Tower which is here with us today is the latest addition in their growing line.

   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.

   Leaving out the left side panel which is made almost entirely out of tempered glass (3mm thick) the 303 is made out of SECC steel so at slightly over 10Kg (10.88Kg) it weighs roughly 2Kg more compared to its slightly smaller brother the 805 which was made out of aluminum (again minus the tampered glass parts). Aside using a push-to-release side panel made almost entirely out of tempered (tinted) glass and a nice illumined logo at the front (the I/O is also illuminated) IN WIN has also given the 303 mid-tower enough room for E-ATX/ATX/Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX mainboards, 6 drives (2x2.5"/2x3.5"), 7 fans (and/or 3 radiators), 160mm tall CPU coolers, 350mm long graphics cards, and 200mm long power supply units. It may not have the same interior space as the larger 805 but the 303 does look promising so let's take a closer look.
