There are a staggering number of aftermarket PC cases to choose from these days, making the choice of a chassis for a new build more difficult. And it seems like there is a new offering in the market every week or so. If you're in the, Hey, a case is a case. camp then you just look for the cheapest chassis that will hold all your stuff. Most enthusiasts, on the other hand, want at least some visual appeal for their new machine and the case is virtually the only visible component. Don't get me wrong, the case should have good features and cooling too, but a bit of style is always welcome. In Win, quickly becoming a household name in the enthusiast case market, have designed and marketed some very nice cases in the past and I'm always impressed with their offerings. This time out, they've sent us their IronClad full tower chassis. With a moniker like that, early battleships come to mind and one would expect to see a bulletproof chassis with innovative features. At any rate, it's a cool name and I'm anxious to see how it looks and performs. Keep on reading on page 2.
Since 1986 In-Win has had consistent milestones in PC case technology, from establishing facility automation on robot stamping machines to winning awards in product design. In 2006, In-Win had the honor of receiving the \"Symbol of Excellence Award." Many of their designs in computer cases are very attractive to the gamer market, with themes from fantasy, to a more hard core and edgy approach. One of In-Win's flagship products, the Ironclad, boasts a serious tank-like design, evident in its excellent black matte finish both inside and out, and a complete steel chassis. The Ironclad is aimed at a demanding audience with the ability to assist over-clocking in a variety of ways. Thermal solutions include a large 220mm side fan, four 120mm fans, and four holes designed with water cooling in mind. A fine metal mesh covers the majority of the openings, preventing the hurricane inside from sucking up dust or pet hair. Even the mammoth crate the Ironclad was delivered in conveyed a sense of strength and command. Fortunately, everything was packaged very well and the case was easily extracted without incident from the cardboard packaging.
A tricked out case is the nerd equivalent of a pimped out car. Naturally you want it to look good. It should also make some kind of statement about you, other than “I'm overcompensating.” We first saw this case when we were in Las Vegas for CES 2010. I was instantly taken by the looks of it. When I found out that was going to send us their , I jumped at the chance to review it and see if my initial excitement was convention over-excitement or something real. The Ironclad comes with 3 120mm fans. The top of the case can hold one additional fan. I wish they would have sprung for the additional fan on top, just for aesthetics sake. One feature that In Win did add, is the cut away for easy removal of heatsink mounting brackets. That’s something you normally see on the pricier end cases. The side panel also has some noise dampening foam to help make things quiet, a nice touch. Mesh PCI plates help improve airflow passing over the cards, and it looks really cool. The tooless design means you won’t have to fumble with a screwdriver, trying to secure your graphics card in place. The case already has holes to accommodate liquid cooling systems, so you won’t need to worry about drilling your own.
Today we have the opportunity to check out In Win’s newly released chassis, the In Win Ironclad Full Tower case; an upgrade to the In Win Maelstrom. It provides all of the necessary features you could ever want in a case along with all of the tool-free devices to make installation all that much easier. This case fits the best of both worlds: cooling and quiet. With support of up to a total of 10, 120mm fans, this case should fit most everyone’s cooling needs. Both side panels are lined with sound insulating foam to help keep those fans quiet. Read on further to see what other features this case has. Special thanks to In Win for providing us with the Ironclad Full Tower Case to review. Gaming Chassis utilizes 22cm side panel fan to accelerate air through and out of chassis to keep components cool. A ventilated floor panel and a top vent with 12cm fan provide the optimal airflow on both intake and exhaust. The air filter meshes are built into the front bezel side panel top panel and floor that keeps out of the dust and extend the life of components. The Ironclad comes packaged in an impressive looking steel box (unfortunately it’s only made out of cardboard).
