InWin A1 White Mini-ITX Tower with Integrated RGB Lighting 600W Power Supply Qi Wireless Phone Charger Computer Chassis Cases

I'm a big fan of InWin and Lian Li cases for their high quality and style. This InWin case is beautiful and has a lot of practical features as well. I was previously using the  InWin Chopin  which is super-compact but doesn't have space for a GPU.AESTHETICS-Looks great out of the box (I have the white version). Material quality looks high-end and not plastic-y cheap. The only parts that are plastic are the transparent base and the 2 black push tabs for the side panel.-The thick glass top with imprinted wireless charging graphic is the best looking part. The powder-coated white metal is well done.-The brushed metal on the top for the power button and USB ports looks great.-The hexagon vents on the side are metal art.-The LED light at the base is uniform and bright. If you keep this in your bedroom, it can function as a nightlight. If you want your room dark, you will need to unplug the LED.BUILDING THE COMPUTER-Opening the large side panels is incredibly easy and tool-less after the first time. On the transparent side, you simply use your fingers to pull out the 2 round tabs. On the hexagon vent side, the first time you will need to loosen the screws with a screwdriver after which you can use your fingers to tighten/loosen.-It's a snug fit for the mini-itx board and the screws can be hard to access especially the one screw next to the power supply. Not a big deal since you shouldn't be doing it often. Plus, the more snug it is, the smaller the overall form factor of the case which is good.-Plenty of cutouts on the motherboard panel allow you to snake cords to the backside to hide cables. The backside holds 2 SSD's capably and has a cutout for an M2.-GPU installation works well. A metal support piece helps hold your GPU level to decrease pressure on the PCI connection. I am using the Asus STRIX-GTX960.-More than adequate fan options and ventilation for such a small case. You can put 2x 120mm fans inside and 2x 120mm fans on the bottom.-If you want to use an AIO, I can confirm that the  Corsair Hydro Series H75 AIO 120mm  works on the rear location with one fan. Unfortunately the bottom can't accommodate a 240mm AIO cooler because of lack of height and lack of large cutout to run the tubes and heatsink. If you were willing to mod the case by cutting out some metal, it might work.-There is a permanent mesh filter on the bottom of the case which is easy to vacuum out as necessary.LED FEATURE-You will need a motherboard with an RGB header if you want to control the LED colors. Unfortunately, my Asus Z170i does not have it which leaves me with the default blue color. The blue looks good though.WIRELESS CHARGING-Charging works well although it can be a bit finicky to get your phone positioned just right.OVERALLI'm very happy with this case. The form factor is just big enough to handle a GPU with minimal wasted space. The aesthetics are gorgeous with the glass, metal, and LED synergizing to form a simple, modern appearance. Building the computer and routine access to the interior are tool-free and super easy. If you are not happy with a default blue LED color, you will want to use a motherboard with an RGB header.

I knew the case is not the smallest ITX case around but is very compact compared to standard cases. Once I had it in my hands I'm pleased with the size. I really like the aesthetics of this case and the build quality is superior to much of the competition.One of the reasons I wanted this case is for it ability to fit large tower coolers, allowing you to build a high-end powerful PC in a compact package without having to use water cooling. I have other small form factor build with AIOs (all-in-one water cooler) to cool the CPU, but an looking to use more air cooling. AIO have a life span of about 5 years but over time they become less effective. Air coolers have an almost unlimited life span. If in service for a very long time you may have to replace the fan eventually, but that trivial compared to having to buy and swap out a new AIO. It can also hold graphics cards that are fairly large, so you more options than many other ITX cases.Many complaints about the Wireless charger not working well and power supply sub-par and noisy. Depending on the power requirements of you build you may decide to swap out the PSU for something better/more powerful. It is a shame there os no option to buy the case without a PSU for a lower price. Something to take into consideration if buying at MSRP. You have to really like the case if you buy with intention of swapping out the PSU for something else, unless you already have one on hand.I purchased with the intention of swapping the PSU for a SFX 750W Corsair unite. Only did this because it was reduced to $135 at the time. At $169 I would not have purchased knowing I was discarding the included PSU.The case is steel, so it's strong and you could us something like a magnetic NZXT puck to hold headphones or a VR headset. It also make it a bit heavier then some of my other IXT cases that are primary aluminum.Pro:Looks (I personally like the look of this case)build qualityAir cooler supportGPU supportreally good case for a compact powerhouse.Cons:a little less portable than other ITX cases (weight and dimensions make it less suited for transport)Questionable PSU (many replace it)No option the buy just the case and save a little money.Wireless charger is finicky (I don't plan to use mine, so not a big deal to me)The newer A1 Plus is said to have an improved wireless charger, better 650W gold rated PSU and two InWin RGB case fans... but it $200. If the PSU is worth keeping it might be worth looking into though.I'll update with any info if there is more to add once I finish my build.

First of all I would like to begin with saying,I absolutely love the design of this case. My problem with this case are two things. First of all the power supply that is given to you by the manufacturer. Everyone knows when you build a PC you pick your power supply in accordance to the parts you're putting inside the PC. In Win has taken it upon themselves to dictate to you what you should have as a power supply. When I received my first case everything looked fine. After assembling all the parts my son and I noticed a loud noise coming from the PSU Under full load during gaming. After troubleshooting and playing several games we realized the PSU was just loud and obnoxious. So immediately I exchanged the case for another thinking it was just a one-time thing. But to my surprise the second case had the same issue maybe even worse. Unfortunately I love the case and the look so I decided to replace the PSU with a Silverstone which is much quieter and reliable. What angers me is that I now had to spend additional money on top of the $170, to replace a power supply I never wanted. Not to mention had no choice in the matter. My second issue with this case is the chi charger works half the time. Shame on you In Win!.

This case is not only nice to look at but also offers a nice range of practical uses and features.-Can fit my Asus 1080 Strix with ease-Has space for two 120mm fans underneath which blow air directly into the fans on the GPU-Has an internal 120mm fan mount that will intake air from the right-front side panel directly onto the rear of the gpu across the motherboard-Qi charger works well-Great airflow right out the back exhaust with proper fan setup-Looks amazing and feels right within the Apple landscape. Pairs well with iPhone colours and design.-Great for minimalists who want a great looking case that has multiple functionsIn summary, this case can be used as a:House lamp (Very bright LED on bottom)Phone charger/phone ledge/phone placerAesthetic pieceGaming pc

Really small, but what can one expect with ITX. Builds good, lots of airflow, wireless charging works great. Looks amazing for the win.

i cant change the color of the rgb. i think its cause im not giving it enough power cause of the mobo i chose. but its still good. wish i could have another color besides blue

Qi charger doesnt work, neither does the rgb strip
