InWin 905 Case Review

InWin is no stranger here at ThinkComputers. We recently took a look at their small A1 Plus, and have always been impressed with their offerings. Jump back to CES 2019, and we got our first look at the InWin 905, a large mid-tower case with some great looks and features. Well, today we have the 905 in-hand, and we will be taking a closer look at this case, from the awesome aluminum exterior, to the unique cooling layout. Was the final product as impressive as what we saw in Las Vegas? Follow along to find out!

Special thanks to InWin for providing the 905 review sample!

Packaging

The 905 came to us much like any other case. A mostly white cardboard box with a bit of InWin branding and design work provides a safe outer shell for the case inside.

With the box opened up, we can see that the case itself is wrapped in a cloth material and held in place by molded foam blocks at each corner. We really like the cloth cover for the case, as it feels like InWin takes a bit more pride with the 905 and spares it the basic plastic bag treatment.

A zippered plastic pouch is included with the case, and contains various screws and standoffs for component installation. There is also a video card support bracket, and a few zip ties to assist with cable management.
