Lovely case. Its a shame that, as with some of their latest premium cases, the interior falls short. My 901 has a reasonably well designed interior and so does the new 904+.
Welp, not going to get it anymore as there are too many holes and I don't want to chop up a case that costs that much. The 904+ is much better designed while still keeping the look I love.
See?

No i have never really been a fan of InWin cases if i had the money i would rather buy a CaseLabs over this 9/10 times. Yes i know CaseLabs are even higher price.
The outside looks ok but the inside looks like a complete mess to me.

I like the 901 that I own as well. It cools remarkably well considering its small size and few places for fans.
I also bought an InWin 805 Glass Case. I haven't built a system into it yet, but I may use it for my i7-6700K build next week.

I was this close to purchasing an 805 then freaked out about it being a bit hot for a dual GPU setup and put it back on the wishlist. I agree with the points on the other In-Win designs. Exteriors look sublime but the interiors are a bit uninspiring. Keen to see what you end up doing with your 805.

I do have a pair of GTX-690s that can go in it, but they would have to be water cooled.

It's so nice to see Inwin rise up.
I remember back in '99 when I worked in the shop we had to order a load of cases in for the new P4 boards. Apparently some cases were incompatible so we had to order in 20 cases that were "P4 certified". Turns out they were very early Inwins and I was so impressed at how solid and heavy they were that I bought one myself
Nice to see them kicking out very high end gear though.

I see more and more cases with less and less 5.25 front bays.
This case have none?
I need at least 4 X 5.25 front bays.
It's a shame in a way because, I'm stuck with an older and less refined case that none the less, suits my builds needs.
Tempered glass and brushed metal looks awesome.
Plenty of room for HD's and SSD's
No Fans? At that price?
No good bang for your $ here.
Probably a buy for the trend and brand follower that have money to burn.

Why do you need 5.25 bays? I've not needed a single 5.25' bay for my last two PCs. I mean, even with a fully water cooled rig you can just use a normal res and not a bay one.
Its a good thing they don't come with fans knowing the stock ones In Win has too.

I usually lament the loss of 3.5" external drive bays, but I have two cases from InWin that don't have them. (go figure) They are an InWin 901, and an InWin 805.
I have only built in the 901 so far and I have to say that it cools the M-ITX build I have in it without any problems at all. I'm using aftermarket fans inside of it.
The 805 will have a water cooled build in it and I have a number of cosmetic items for it too.
I usually don't bother with cosmetic details, but this time, I will. All of my fans are aftermarket and have higher airflow, lower noise, and wazoo pretty lights. I'll be building it within a week or so.
As for installing software, I can use an external DVD Burner, my network, or flash drives.
Edit: I got the InWin 805 for $100.00 US, because I really ~don't~ have money to burn.

The reason is I actually have a dual bay res, fan controller and an optical drive.
I prefer a full tower case as well.
Not the case for me even if I had a normal res.
It should come with Noctua, Vardar or at least Corsair fans at that price.

looking forward to the 805 build log. I have nearly bought one twice but the thermals are worrying me with dual GPUs on air + my cable tidy game is not strong.
They do look amazing tho.

Dude TBH i would just drop the ODD just buy a EXT one, The more things you have in your computer the more you have to cable manage. I don't understand why people can't let them go.
I haven't used an ODD for about 4 years now.
