With our lives becoming increasingly reliant on technology for both work and entertainment, it doesn't make much sense for computers and related products to be designed only for men. Companies are taking note of this and starting to release computer products specifically designed for women as well. From input devices to headphones to laptops and netbooks, it's getting easier to find tech toys in colors and styles that appeal to the fairer sex. One such product is the Diva small form factor case by In Win. In Win is no stranger to innovatively designed cases, and if you're in the market to build a nettop/HTPC with some feminine flair, this might be just what you're looking for. Nice looks are important, but form and function is really what makes a quality computer case. Can the Diva provide the best of both worlds? I'm about to find out. IN WIN CORPORATE PROFILE IN-WIN Development Inc., an ISO 9001 manufacturer of professional computer chassis, power supplies and digital storage devices, is the leading provider of enclosure solutions to system integrators worldwide. Founded in 1986, IN-WIN provides high quality chassis that conform to all safety regulations, as well as unsurpassed customer service.
The field of computing in general is generally dominated by males and so the cases are generally made with the male gender in mind. In Win, however, decided to take into account the minority and create a case that will be marketed towards the female side of the market. The Diva is the case that was designed with mostly women in mind. In fact, the female concept is woven event into the name of the case. The word Diva, means a distinguished female singer, a prima donna. There are a couple of important things to note here. First of is the power supply. This case, despite being a Mini-ITX does provided a 160 W power supply. One of the important things to know about the power supply, though is that provides limited number of connections for the peripherals that the user might be interested in such as SATA power ports (a total of 2) and a MOLEX plug (1). The fact that this case is directly marketed towards women meant that it had to be “appealing” to the eye. The front of the case is shiny and the power button is inset with a Swarovski crystal. The choice of colors for the diva case is “fuchsia red”, “champagne gold” or “starry black”.
