In Win Surprises With New Brushed Aluminum Hardware

In Win is one of those companies that is continually impressing enthusiasts with their unique designs with implementation of brushed aluminum and tempered glass into their products.

Mobile Battery Chargers

Occassionally companies diversify their product offerings depending on market demands, this year, In Win is introducing a line of mobile device chargers. Two of these is the Power Bank 904 and Noir. The 904 series has a brushed aluminum design that matches their case line. With the standard USB Type-A connectors, it can charge up to two devices at a time, with a maximum of 3A. It will automatically detect your device and determine the optimal charging speed, four tiny LED’s will indicate the battery charge on the device. In Win will initially offer the 904 in 8000mAh and 12000mAh sizes.

The Noir line has a Carbon Fiber pattern for the exterior design and includes a Type-C connector with a maximum of 3A. The Noir is compatible with Quick Charge 2.0, but will still detect your device for optimal charging speed. Where the 904 line will initally be offered in two sizes, the Noir is going to be offered only in a 10,000mAh, which should provide multiple recharges for any device.

Pricing and availability wasn’t immediately available, as soon as we hear anything we’ll be sure to update you.

H-Frame 2.0

Building off the original H-Frame, the H-Frame 2.0 has a similar open air design, with several refinements since the original’s debut in 2013. The new H-Frame 2.0 has a black and gold color scheme to it, and the side panel has been changed from solid aluminum to tempered glass. The front and top of the case now has two gold colored LED strips that contrast rather nicely against the black aluminum and is controllable by the integrated light controller. Other changes include the removal of the 5.25″ device bay, updating the USB 2.0 ports to USB 3.1 and Type-C. As we just mentioned the side panels have been replaced with tempered glass that has been smoked.

Internally, the H-Frame 2.0 will support up to six 3.5″ or 2.5″ drives, and up to an E-ATX motherboard. Cooling can be done with up to four 120mm fans, or up to a 360mm radiator. Power shouldn’t be a concern either as In Win has included a custom fully modular power supply with the H-Frame 2.0 that provides 1065W of power and has a mirror panel which lights up with the same gold color as the front panel. In addition, In Win has included a fan timer on this power supply that allows the fan to continue running for 30 seconds, 3 minutes, or continually running when the PC is turned off. In addition, there is an externally accessible USB port that will charge a phone or tablet while the PC is in a powered off state. In Win did not get any power rating certification on this power supply as it will be very limited and only available with the H-Frame 2.0

Currently there is no release date for the H-Frame 2.0 as they are currently looking for feedback on the design of the case. Once it is available, expect it to have a substantial cost to it.

805 Prototype Infinity Panel

Changing things up a little, In Win took their 805 chassis (currently available) and created a one of a kind prototype front panel. The main portion of the chassis is the 805, but In Win has modified the front panel to include an infinity mirrored look to it and placed LED strips on the inside of the case to provide a little additional depth. The front panel and the internal LED strips are color matched and really make the 805 shine.

Overall, In Win is not entirely sold on the Infinity panel and it might not be available due to it’s cost. I personally love the panel and hope that they make it available it.

H-Tower

We have been hearing about the limited-edition H-Tower for sometime now. It is currently available to purchase for $2,400 and is shipping very soon. It is very unique and transforms to open it for installation and accessing the internal components.

Two versions is available, the Titanium standard edition, and the ASUS ROG Black/Red edition. The front panel supports both USB 3.1 and Type-C connections, along with the other usual connections. Internally, there is room for up to an E-ATX motherboard, 1x 3.5″ and 4x 2.5″ drives. Cooling is provided by up to 3x 120mm fans or a 360mm radiator.

In Win never fails to impress with it’s unique designs, even though many of us will never be able to afford these incredible cases, they are absolutely beautiful to look at.
