In Win GT1 Case Review
Conclusions
Contents
The In Win GT1 is a very good case for its price tag (USD 69), coming with features usually only available on more expensive models, in particular its external 3.5”/2.5” docking bay. The quality of its plastic parts could be better, and it could come with more fans, but at this price we don’t think these points are real issues.
Strong Points
- Covers for the 5.25” bays are vented
- Air filter for the power supply, bottom, and front fans
- External 3.5”/2.5” docking bay
- Support for six 3.5” or seven 2.5” internal devices
- Supports video cards up to 10.6” (270 mm) long on its default configuration or up to 16.1” (408 mm) long if the top hard drive cage is removed
- Two-speed, single-channel fan controller
- A huge cutout in the motherboard tray for accessing the backplate of the CPU cooler
- The motherboard tray doesn’t touch the bottom panel, creating a huge space for routing cables
- Clips for fastening cables using cable ties
- Anti-vibration rings for 3.5” hard disk drives
Weak Points
- Fan controller uses peripheral power connectors instead of three-pin fan connectors
- No air filter for the optional front fan
- Only one USB 3.0 port
