CES 2013: In Win's Heavy-Duty PC Cases

By Rain Noe - January 10, 2013

Still not seeing much on the form-follows-function tip here on the CES floor, but we're trying. The last thing that jumped out at us were these rather extreme, specialty PC tower bodies made by a company called In Win.

Machine running hot? Their H-Frame is a series of aluminum cooling fins:

Or is your machine getting beat up? Their "crushproof and shockproof" D-Frame looks like it was made in a bicycle factory:

I have no idea what specific circumstances the latter was designed for, but it seems like it will handily survive a tornado or earthquake.

The thing I love best about Chinese companies are their tech sheets. The H-Frame's attendant document says it is made from "satiny and exquisite aluminum." Next time you put in an order from a materials supplier, ask for that stuff.

I can't see from those pictures how they restrict dust infiltration, any case I have ever seen has dust filters.

I also wonder if with the standard heat-sinks on most computers, if even a standard case was bashed to the point it was dented (not just the side panel), that the components inside would be damaged, heat sinks in particular are heavy and on tower cases canter-lever out on the board.

Lastly, PC towers are all about airflow, turning them into mini wind tunnels, again the pictures seem to show a completely open case, which is very inefficient in regards to cooling (AND VERY NOISY)

I can't see anyone who is into buying PC towers that are not beige or black wanting these.
