InWin 101C Tempered Glass RGB Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Final Thoughts

How Much Does it Cost?

Well, it’s meant to be £89.99, and for that, I think it’s worth every damn penny. However, you can pick one up on Amazon and at a few other big stores for around £76.74. That’s a fantastic deal for any mid-tower with this level of specification. However, there’s not much out there that has a unique design like this, and that’s worth something extra in my opinion. The price is great, and it even comes in white too. However, the white models often seem to be a bit more expensive, often closer to £100, ouch.

Overview

InWin continues to impress with their unique and innovative designs. Sure, when it comes to their flagship models, their designs are truly outrageous, and the prices even more so. However, when it comes to the consumer-friendly end of the market, they’ve still got a few tricks up their sleeves. The 101C blends some clever design features that make it stand out from the crowd. Most RGB tempered glass chassis these days are pretty cookie cutter regarding layout and aesthetics. The 101C moves things about, literally, and it’s all the better for it.

Build Quality

Certainly, an impressive aspect of this chassis is just how robust it is. The steel is thick and chunk, as are all the additional components. Everything feels like it could take a mighty thump and still come out free from dents. There’s not a lot of plastic either, with the exception of the feet and the RGB faceplate. The addition of a big lump of tempered glass gives it that modern style that we all love so much too; perspex just wouldn’t do it justice at all.

Aesthetics

The sealed up front panel looks great, no big will of ventilation to spoil those clean looks. Moving the fan mounts to the side is pretty cool, and the custom ventilation design really changes things up a big. You may have noticed only the bottom has a dust filter? Your intake fans should be mounted in the base. The right side mounts are for exhaust, not intake, something to keep in mind. However, for showing off your hardware, the window panel does a great job. With the PSU shroud hiding all the cable gore out of sight, you’ll have a great looking build in next to no time!

Should I Buy One?

At this price, for this level of features, and a unique design compared to everything else in this price range, there’s nothing I don’t love about this chassis. It ticks all the right boxes for a sleek looking office system, to a custom loop filled gaming PC. If you can find better for less, go buy it, but good luck with that. Highly recommended.
