In Win Dragon Slayer

Zitat: An inexpensive mini-tower with decent cooling options, but the Dragon Slayer doesn’t compare particularly well to other small cases.

Zitat: Preis/Leistungs-Tipp Auf der einen Seite wird sich der gemeine Gamer und Enthusiast von potenter Hardware eher im Dragon Slayer wohl fühlen. Es bietet ihm ausreichend Platz für alles was man auch in ein großes Gehäuse stecken kann ohne dass er sich Leistungslimits ausgesetzt sieht.

Zitat: Zalety: + Oryginalnie zaprojektowana i przestronna, jak na mini tower + Zasilacz na dole obudowy + Otwór w panelu montażowym płyty głównej + Boczny otwór wentylacyjny zaopatrzony w filtry + System organizacji przewodów + Szybki system montażu napędów, które w razie potrzeby można też przykręcić na sztywno + Spora bateria wentylatorów w komplecie + USB 3.0 Wady: - Wymiary zewnętrzne bliskie konstrukcjom midi tower - Konstrukcyjna blacha mogłaby być grubsza - Liche zapinki śledzi - nie wszystkie karty graficzne da się z ich użyciem zamocować - Niekonsekwentnie rozmieszczone i trudne w czyszczeniu fi Co możemy powiedzieć o tym produkcie? Przede wszystkim to, że trudno będzie go porównać do czegokolwiek innego. In Win Dragon Slayer jest obudową wielkości mniejszych midi tower, do której włożymy płytę główną maksymalnie w formacie mikro-ATX. Dla tych, którzy chcieliby przenieść do niej swój komputer oparty na płycie w pełnym formacie ATX, będzie to poważna wada. Dla kogoś, kto chciałby zbudować komputer od zera, nie powinno to mieć większego znaczenia. Dziś nawet płyty dla entuzjastów, obsługujące SLI i CrossFireX, mają swoje odpowiedniki mikro-ATX, a co dopiero mówić o modelach dla mniej wymagających użytkowników. Naszym zdaniem obudowa jest ciekawa i oparta na dobrych wzorcach konstrukcyjnych. Zdecydowanie gorzej oceniamy wentylację i filtry. Gdyby nie ten aspekt, to z czystym sumieniem byśmy Wam tę konstrukcję polecili, zwłaszcza że cena jest dość atrakcyjna. Może jeszcze stal mogłaby być grubsza – 0,6 mm to zdecydowanie za mało. Na pewno znajdą się użytkownicy, którzy będą z niej zadowoleni. Warto przy okazji odnotować, że obudowa jest jedną z pierwszych, które mają port USB 3.0 na froncie. Można by rzec: nareszcie w tej cenie.

Zitat: The style of what we consider ´gaming´ type cases have a real love/hate relationship about them. But when it comes to the In Win Dragon Slayer, we really loved it. The style is unique but not outrageous, making its appearance easy on the eyes. Besides the looks we were really happy to see the quality of the build and that everything was sturdy. So often a company will push out a case that is so low quality that it seems it would just fold under the slightest amount of pressure. Not the case here, no pun intended. If you don’t want to spend your whole day building your next rig then the Dragon Slayer is worth some consideration. Most of the build did not require any tools savce for the installation of smaller 2.5” drives, installing the motherboard and securing the power supply. The Dragon Slayer may be small in size but it offers plenty of room for everything it takes to build a high powered gaming system. You have a mATX motherboard that supports Crossfire or SLI? Well, the Dragon Slayer is the ticket as it can house dual graphic cards without an issue. Plenty of room for hard drive and optical drives, however, you will have to take careful consideration with just what arrangement is best for you as the HDD cage can be removed if you require more optical drive space. Like fans? The Dragon Slayer can house a total of eight in the little amount of space it has. Assuring that every component will be cooled efficiently for optimal operation. The left side panel alone can house a total of four fans, so that new Multi-GPU setup will get extra cooling. At $70 the price of the In Win Dragon Slayer is one that most will consider very reasonable and affordable, and we believe so as well.

Zitat: As mentioned previously, there is a lot to like about the In Win Dragon Slayer case. It has a flexible air-flow strategy that is practially a case made out of fans, and as such is meant to be a gamer´s performance case and not to be used in a silent home-theater environment. The dual-mesh designs in front of the fans act as a dust filter, which will certainly capture dust within all its nooks and crannies, so you should be vigilant with the compressed air. The flexible installation allows the installation of one or several optical drives in the top or bottom of the case, and has support for water-cooling and solid-state drives. There are other thoughtful nods for modern hardware like support for SSDs, USB 3.0, and airflow for bottom-mounted PSUs. While I have nothing against "tooless" PC installations, I have never felt completely satisfied with their mounting methods. Tooless drive installations usually only secure one side of the unit, which makes it prone to vibration and a tendancy to rattle. Even though anti-vibration pads are incorporated, any installed drives aren´t as secure as they would be if screwed in tight. Tooless methods might be preferrable for quick removal, but honestly how often is anyone changing out their optical or hard drives? The front panel looks really killer, but it must be remembered that it is mostly plastic, and the mounting tabs could snap (as was the case with the beefy-looking yet ultimately wimpy Ultra m998 case). The drive cage panels look amazing with its dual-toned hexagonal mesh, which is an absolute shame to replace it with a dull-looking optical drive. It would have been great if one of these panels incorporated a stealth design that fit in front of a standard optical drive. That way the Dragon Slayer case would keep its aesthetic integrity. These thoughtful design features make for easy installation of your PC, even if you have multiple video cards. It should be noted that this is not a case for those who need support for RAID 5 or other disk-hungry applications, as there are only a few bays available for hard drives. A typical user can easily accomodate two hard drives, a card reader, an SSD, and an optical drive. There´s even support for two (or even three) optical drives and 3 SSDs (if you use a 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay cage like this one). These caveats are really minor issues and shouldn´t deter away a PC gamer. The In Win Dragon Slayer case has a lot of features, has support for your latest hardware, keeps your system cool, and (most importantly) looks stunning.
