In Win Dragon Slayer PC Case

PC Case designs have come a long way from the beige boxes from the previous century.  Thanks to the modding and gaming scenes, manufacturers try to lure in new customers with sleek and innovative designs that not only allow your computer to perform its best, but inspire envy at LAN parties.  Most PC cases are intended for either full-fledged ATX cases, or small form factor PCs, but not much attention has been paid for Mini-ATX motherboards.

In Win has a new mid-range PC case, dubbed the Dragon Slayer, which accomodates a micro-ATX mainboard.  Most micro-ATX cases were aimed at the home theater segment, as these motherboards were usually not considered powerful enough for an enthusiast-level gaming rig.  Times have changed, apparently, as this case is equipped to tame even the most monstrous heat-producing equipment, but we’ll get into that on the next page.

The Dragon Slayer’s design is influenced by medieval knights, and there is a heavy application of Modder’s Mesh (e.g. chain mail) to prove it.  There are three different types of mesh used, and they are sometimes layered to act as air filters.
