That looks like an easy to build case, I totally dig the compartmental approach. Min-Max and not a mandatory PSU shroud.

I'd love to see more options like itx or matx or something, that'd be sick

Yeah modular makes more sense for ITX as people who use an ITX case would actually care about having the optimal size of the case for their components. Whereas ATX buyers would probably just go for a case that can support everything and save the hassle of doing modular assembly

I feel this would be more useful with itx or m atx. To fit different size components like putting 2 wide by side for large tower coolers.

This is simply the best tribute to the good old caselabs cases, just sheer modularity and customization🥰

I really like this case it's why I already purchased one before this vid even came out. Having the ability to stack pcs like a server rack and add a so-called rack whenever is amazing.

Finally, someone other than Thermaltake with the core series making a modular PC case with freeform capabilities.

Love the concept of this case even have a the layout in mind that will provide the best airflow and temperatures but the price is a little high for a case change right now; maybe in a few years

*_"I Thought of this EXACT Same Idea Thirty Five Years Ago!"_* . . . . . ok, it was like two or three years ago. And I'm glad someone is finally doing it.

Im not sure how useful in reality a modular case like this is. Most systems are built and then used as is, by the time you want to upgrade parts or the entire system i find im ready for a completely new look, so a new case.

I've been test bench pilled for a while now, and it has worked great for me. People really overestimate the issue of dust, besides with a test bench cleaning up the dust takes like a minute anyway. My thermals are always excellent and it runs quiet, because the fans don't need to speed up too much to cool the system. Changing components is such a breeze as well. Would recommend, as long as you don't have small children or pets around.

I'd consider doing this more if my components actually looked like a serious device, rather than looking like Midjourney failed to generate a Gundam picture.

I really like the vertical, open frame layout. I've been looking at the Thermaltake CTE T500 which is a similar design but fully enclosed. An open frame would eliminate the need for some fans and not have a "front" side. Both are about the same price too.

Just ordered this case, deluxe model + 1 extra Mod III. Will go for the Cube config, As for storage, I have an 8 bay hot-plug 2.5 drive case that fits in 2 x 5inch bays which should fit without issues in the front side of Mod II. For the moment I have only an AIO for the CPU but this case will be perfect for a custom loop.

I think it can be really cool to use the mounting system to mount the whole system to the wall or something, or mount a monitor onto it

Mounting a monitor directly to the actual desktop PC ... LOL new meta discovered

let's be real for a moment. Once you buy this case, you set it up the way you like it and then it's gonna stay that way for at the very least a couple of years when you upgrade your PC, if you even change things up at all. Meanwhile you'll be left with a bunch of optional side panels taking up storage room. I think it's not worth it, just get a case that has all you need for your build with some space for future upgrades like we've always done (personally I'm still using the same 2 cases for 10+ years).

Amazing idea. Nicely done. Possibly my next case.

i have the new inwin duibili case .. and it's high quality and great to build in !! very happy

INWIN are the only ones who dare to try something new.

I love your enthousiasm on this one. Concept is awesome. Would like to see the same principle for an itx 😊

horizontal setup. mobo top then 2 chamber system bottom. 1 PSU and 1 Storage

This reminds me of Cooler Master HAF Stacker. They had sectioned areas. And you could order additional pieces, could stack them on top of each other and link it together. Still have this case as my primary case ;)

I can see myself enjoying the build, but I probably won't go back to change anything once it's built. Also with my 5-7 year upgrade cycle, I find that each time there's a newer chassis I like (whether aesthetically or functionally).

I think my first InWin case had the hole for an AT style keyboard. So far I've not been disappointed by their quality yet.

this is perfect whatever the builder wants in mind thanks for sharing it.

I'm in love with it already

Oh yes oh yes oh YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩 I remember seeing videos of that when it was shown off at a trade show earlier this year, and forgot about it since. I do hope the series succeeds and if it does, I did imagine there being additional modules to allow it to work as a server chassis instead of just a desktop PC, one of which could add externally accessible SATA or SAS hard drive bays, and another which could be an alternative front panel with more ports and indicators (for server mainboards which tend to support more indicators on their front panel connectors, as well as SAS HBAs which also have their own activity indicator connectors), though I have also imagined aftermarket modules that could make multiple modules look like older Inwin chassis models including those that had been discontinued.

Having this in an ITX form factor would be dope as long as the Mod 1 is small, barely bigger than an ITX motherboard, maybe with depth adjustment for CPU cooler height. Then they could make a Mod for Flex ATX or SFX PSUs, a couple Mods that could fit case fans and/or rad, and a separate Mod for the GPU so you could build it in a sandwich form factor with a PCIe riser.

There are going to be some crazy custom loops with this

This is also very good 4K. Right up the what's inside and MKBHD area.

Inwin is tapping into some of that magic that made Case Labs great.

Thanks for this. Buying 2 deluxe tomorrow.. stacking 2 PCs into a super tower w one inverted. Hell.. this might replace my server rack too.

I would love to see a comparison of all modules in terms of air flow, temps and cable management

Would be cool if you could mount the modules with a half-half setup on the side of the large core module and then make that one of those classic "flat bed" cases.

This is an amazing concept. I just hope Inwin succeeds where so many have failed.

A server case version for extreme water cooling builds would be awesome

I would REALLY like this to have a rack mount option/accessory... looks like you could do this with the base edition... for those of us trying to put 4GPUs to work in ML a "double decker" 8U case would be awesome...

Awesome case, It does need stack trays for hdd and i think the ability to rotate the mobo tray. colors and shapes and designs options are all that's needed for this.

You don't need to rotate the mobo tray because you can rotate the whole box.

I like the concept. Unsure if this is the ideal state of it, but hopefully this opens the door to even more creative-yet-still-somewhat-normal case designs

It seems all case manufacturers never consider storage. Some of us still use HDDs. Even so, this is an intriguing concept.

its definitely a good thing for the PC market. it'll be interesting to see what this "case" starts from potential other manufacturers. great work Canucks!

This would also be great for people who want to build this into a desk or table or other type of furniture.

finally i can have a case , where the mobo sits horizntally and psu in the bottom with the ssds in the bottom too and boom my dream case , wished was smaller though

love the video ive been waiting a year to see this case for sale but i got to say 250 is a little high for a plain jane box with a basement attachment something that my mountain mods case had over 20 years ago.... so not a new concept. if it were like 140 for the deluxe it would be more tempting

For me the most important bits are the power supply chamber and space for the radiators. I've always wanted to keep radiators separate from everything

I have been waiting on this.. I sure wish they would have a add on for 5.25 bays..

7:59 this configuration with intake 3x fans on the left side and 1/2x intake fans at the bottom right

Great video !! Are you going to review the Coolermaster QUBE 500 ??

Awesome!

Stack 3 (or more) long units on top; each with their own 360 rad and fans to have a killer custom loop that should be a great cooler.

6:18 this should be in every case, moveable IO board(s) to install in a chosen place. All the extra USBs from motherboard are usually wasted, or mounted low on bracket at the back of PC.

oh i talked about this on a dutch forum, it would be nice for a modulair nas system

Oh yeah, I love this modularity.

Inwin, to me, is one of the companies that excite me in this hobby

I like how you can changeup the case to any configuration to meet your needs except what I want and that is Dual Chamber/ lay down. n. My only downside of this case and it go's for all cases is in black they only give you tinted side windows so to get clear glass in most cases you have to buy white case. Like you said about the dual chamber layout it would be nice to see a square back chamber for the power supply and laydown like the old HAF X is for desktop and all they would have to do is make Mod II fit the backside of the case. Fan mounts on the bottom would also be nice to have on the basic case. In Win keep the fans an reduce the cost as $160 is way to high and you can buy good quality cases in your basic size with higher quality fans for $100 and would like to see a back panel power supply module instead of bottom and another fan mount to have fans on all 4 sides to lay the case over for desktop and have the feet be in back or bottom and I like the larger open holes with filter over fine mesh.

I would love to build my case how I want. This is really remarkable project

I love the idea of a case like this more than I'd to own one. It's just easier to buy a new case and sell your old one if your needs change down the road.

they need to sell this direct and on their website where you start with the basic necessary frames and choose the extras from there. need to design an hdd stack mod as an add on and all the sudden becomes one of the better options for a homelab. what do the thermals look like?

How about showcasing one of your finished builds in this video... would have been nice to see what this case looks like with all the innards installed and with all the exterior panels attached.

I would paint the panels, maybe the frame also. I have spray-painted a couple of cases, and very much like how they look.

This computer case is in my wishlist for when I build a new computer. I hope this case will be in PC Building Simulator 2.

Dual chamber, itx, and specific storage modules, if it gets those ill buy it for a scalable nas

I really like ATX cases with inverted motherboard layouts so i can put my case on the left side of my table

i wonder if you can attach the cores to each other to make a full size dual motherboard system, or if you can add the psu module to the side and do a dual chamber

This reminds me of what Cooler Master did many years ago. Even another company had modular cases in the past.

Yeah CM sorta tried it with their Stacker series.

I love this idea

Very interesting. I would like to see another side module to put the psu in (like the wider cases like Lian li o11 or thermaltake cte).

I think there was one case few years ago that had exactly the same features but I just can't remember which one. I don't know about the panels, but the models were certanly there

but indivual pieces and make llike a exhaust mod that is able to hole up to 3 420mm rads in the on the long sides and you connect it to one side to make it the exhaust port and if your watercooling you daisy chain the rads together so when the fluid returns into the system it's cooled down enough to pull heat from the whatever your watercooling

need an itx version scaled down to 80mm fan at the mobo I/O, and 120mm in other chambers.

Love this concept but waiting for v2 OR! Hoping they help the community by supplying options for community modding options (clips etc)

First question. Can two units be assembled together to make a 2pc setup. Second. Do they have plans to allow one of the smaller modules to mount a second itx board?

Hope this available in 2021. This will be my next build.

FINALLLY ITS HEREEE

Very interesting case. The usual setup with PSU under the GPU, being able to use the PSU towards the front of the case and leaving the area under the GPU for intake is great. Such option is restricted to either the torrent layout, or dual chamber. With dual chamber the thickness of the case can be an issue. With the torrent layout. Top mounted PSU, restricts the installed a top AIO. Using the PSU on the front, like many ITX, or some new cases do (D41) or the Ap201, restricts direct airflow from the front of the case. That alone would justify me buying this case. Just waiting for it to be available in the UK and I’ll be getting one.

users tend to building ITX most time thesedays, not sure whether it will work. but it seems pretty cool

I'll probably give this a try. I want thing how I want them, so maybe this will help.

Can you get additional modules? And is there any limit to how many you stack? I have this funky idea where you just have the PSU base on the front, and then like 3 or 4 top stacks holding nothing but radiators. It might be able to hold enough radiators to let even the thickest system run completely passive.

Interesting concept, they should make a online configurator for this (maybe work with the game system builder, have a online version tho too) and make the parts purchasable separately. Otherwise, in a buy as a standard configuration only model, it's likely DOA.

The 420 radiator will fit. The mod free app says the mod 3 measures 388mm , its closer to 505 mm

I am thinking if an ITX system can be built in the smaller modules. This could be a great case for a NAS build, like whenever more drives are needed you can just stack another module on the top.

This reminds me of the Cooler master HAF Stacker 935, except this one is done way better.

Looks like a fancy and expensive open air test bench case.

Id love to see this in a old school "Desktop" orientation. Is something like that possible with this?

It's really cool. Reminds me of the Fractal laptops in a way :)

I wish you can install motherboard at the power supply module, so you can have mini-itx case, or the streaming PC, instead having two separate PC's for streaming and gaming.

I hope the Mod III is wide enough to accommodate 5.25" expansion. I would fill them bottom to top with 3.5" and 2.5" hot swap bays for a home server. Edit: Potentially even attach a Mod III to both sides. And, are there also mesh covers available?

I would love to see an lcd panel addon and a acrylic or tempered glass customisation for like decals or design in addition for frosted or not also a raspberry pie mount if possible

Hey INWIN, I need a module that with 5-1/4 drive bays attachment points on the whole thing. ie 10 vertical bays.

Can you mount any of the modules on their side?

Nice.!

Does any of these modules have 5,25" slot for dvd/bluray combo?

put psu in main atx case and dump all the little ones lol for me atleast a rad in front am and a sfx-L psu in rear 120mm fan hole. would be good sized water cooled full size atx case thanks for sharing

Easy enough to paint or print on those panels.

I would love to see module 1 in M-atx, and It's size too.

Can you install drives in the mod 3 module?

Cooler Master did something similar back in the day with the HAF Stacker series, although not as nice as InWin's implementation.

This is dope especially for water cooling, I can actually separate one of my radiators from the rest of the case so it isn't sucking in warm air from inside the case. Hp Omen did something similar with their case but it wasn't modular

I am searching for spring like this but they still in work
