The IN WIN 909 is another splendid looking enclosure, combining craftsmanship, innovation and the usage of high-end materials. It is one of them stunning cases that will turn many heads when being on display at any booth. The tinted tempered glass side panels perfectly match the elegant contours of the 909. The included lighting effect also adds that little extra, though a dimming function would be a nice touch.

But there is of course more than looks; the case has to be hardware compatible, especially a full-tower case has to have plenty of storage space, allowing multiple graphics cards to be installed. Besides the omission of optical drive support, the IN WIN 909 has got you fully covered.

Last but not least it has to have good cooling. When buying the IN WIN 909 the end-user has to take into account that he/she still needs to cash out for at least two or three fans to get the airflow going. Too bad that for the retail price of approx. 400 Euros not even a single fan is included in the package.

Second note on the cooling is when one opts to install an AIO or DIY water cooling gear. If one opts to install the radiator in the rear chamber I fear a lack of airflow. Again before drawing any conclusions let us await the thermal testing by Stefan once the sample comes back at the [M]lab.

The IN WIN 909 is one of them supreme cases that carry a hefty price tag, this mainly because the used materials are top notch. The build quality is impeccable and the eye for detail is insane. Their enclosures are really what this market needed: a fresh current design, where the IN WIN style and elegance are giving a new meaning to the PC case. To maintain the sleekness the engineers had to take some decisions, this being highlighted above. If you want a perfect blend between the functionality of a high end full tower case, the usage based on high end materials and ultra-luxurious looks, then look no further. The IN WIN 909 should be high on your wanted list!
