In Win Tou Tempered Glass Special Edition PC Chassis Review

Interior

With the side panel removed we get our first look at the interior. As you can see, the back plate is pretty solid with just a few cut outs for cable routing and management. There is no CPU cooler mounting cut-out, so that will need to be installed prior to installation of the motherboard. The cable routing cut-outs don’t feature grommets but they do have smooth edges.

In the base we can see there is a massive space for a PSU, while on the right there is the casing around the 5.25″ bay and the pre-installed cables that handle USB 3.0, I/O panel, bundled fans and the fan controller panel. Running along the bottom of the chassis is a red and black wire, this connects the two LED strip lights that run down the left and right side of the frame interior.

Cables here look a little messy and I’m surprised In Win hasn’t done a better job of enclosing them, but there are a few cable routing holes nearby, so we should be able to tidy that up fairly well. There is a single 120mm intake fan mounted using a shock proof rubber strap near the front of the chassis.

Here we see three removable shelves that support 3.5″ hard drives, although you can also directly screw a 2.5″ drive to the back plate just next to the intake fan.

There is a rear mounting bracket that acts as the back of the system, as least as far as mounting your GPU and motherboard is concerned, allowing you to screw your devices in place much like you would in any other chassis.

The mounting plate stands a few inches from the glass and that will allow heat from your components fans to exhaust up and out of the chassis, rather than build up behind the system, although there does appear to be extra openings near the base that will allow your PSU to exhaust better, but also allow you a gap to route power, monitor and peripheral cables to their ports behind the glass.

Around the back I found a huge amount of space for cable management, more so than just about any chassis on the market and we can easily get a huge amount of cables cable here, cable tie them down and keep everything tidy. So let’s get to it and build our system inside the Tou, because I’m sure your dying to see what this thing looks like when it is powered up!
