Introduction

Your case is the first thing people see when looking at your PC. However, it’s often the part of the system people put the least emphasis on since it has no effect on performance. This is true; however, it has a huge effect on the overall aesthetic of your build. With so many companies producing cases, it’s hard to know where to start. I usually recommend starting with a company that has a good reputation in the community. There are few companies that have that kind of reputation for beautiful, high-quality builds such as In Win, makers of the very popular 909. Most people equate In Win with expensive cases such as the D-Frame and the Winbot. Although In Win is widely known for making some of the most unique, and expensive cases, they also make quite a few budget-oriented cases with the same style and quality In Win is known for.

We recently got our hands on the In Win 101C. This is a revised edition of their very popular In Win 101. They’ve added a USB 3.1 Type-C connector to the front panel of the case. This is a welcomed feature since many motherboards have integrated front panel USB Type-C controllers. Pair that with some of the features that made the original 101 so popular, such as a rear mounted radiator and tempered glass side panel, you have the makings for a great case. That said, what is the 101C like to build in, and what kind of hardware can you fit in this mid-tower chassis? Let’s take a look at the hardware we were able to cram into the In Win 101C.
