LEGO Case Review: Strange In Win Airforce DIY PC Case

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
The In Win Airforce case has to be built before being used, adopting a full-on LEGO color scheme (or Gundam) and a unique gimmick for a high price. The In Win Airforce case is one part Gundam and one part Lego, appealing to the build-it-yourself crowd even more than normal PC DIY. This case ships assembly required, but at 200, it has to impress to be worth the gimmick. The high airflow fans might be what really got this case its name, as in thermal tests, the Airforce is a show of force.

The problem that I see with cases like this:
Either do something that performs good, copy that design and resell it or you make something that Isn't as good, but is different and special in a certain way, but you give up performance.
I personally won't buy this case because I already have multiple computers and cases, but I think this case is a good idea of something actually a bit different.
I rather see difference and variation in the market with less (but still acceptable) performance than having the same black box with holes rebranded over and over again because It just works.
Its different and that is good

This review is only benefiting company, specially if they would listen. Not only this shows that case is more or less worth it, it also shows how company can reduce cost, and enviromental impact. Giving customer product for less (cheapper shipping).
On top of that if company is willing to fix small problems, and maybe make suggested things they might be one of best, although on cost of frequent cleanning.
I'm laptop guy tho, and thought You builded case from lego.

In Win was always that tech company that chooses style, gimmicks, and taking risks on design.. over any kind of functionality, value, and ease of assembly. It s like you re paying for the Art on a one-of-a-kind product.
It reminds me of those TVR cars. It s not like anything else, not functional like anything else. But as different as it is to the rest you ll enjoy it but for the same money you can get something better.

It definitely would make more sense if they had an array of parts to buy and make it truly custom... Like, instead of being 1 of 2 color choices, having a checklist of colors for each part [and ordering multiples as an option if you want to change it now and then]. The colors you have are cool, but I wouldn't really want it on my desk myself. And the price for all plastic is kinda painful...

This is like they hired some of the super engineers from Dell / Alienwares proprietary case junk division and asked them to design something from the ground up.
It's an interesting gimmick, but the lack of separately sold parts and packaging situation makes it a bit redundant.
It's got interesting potential for aftermarket support by 3d printers also.

Wow. If that thing sells I think I should set up a printer to print out bits of a moudlar diy case . At 200 more for color choice, that's enough to purchase another Ender 3 Pro and a spool of plastic to print the part per order and still make a profit while offerring whatever color you can find a spool of plastic for policy.

I like the general idea, but it's really just a self assembly case. Maybe if the 4 corner sections could be offered with various lengths of top/bottom and front/back panels that can be purchased separately or specified when ordering, it would be quite an interesting modular option.
reply

They should release CAD models for it and let the 3D printing community go wild. Also, the Alice looks really interesting. I checked their site out to order one but they don't ship to the states yet. Would love to see a video review on it from you guys.
reply

Very cool, particularly for anyone who might be willing to paint things for themselves and make it exactly what they would like to have. Quite a lot of drawbacks, but sounds like there are reasonable solutions available for all of them - except the waste.

As an Air Force communications veteran this looks just like the stuff i used to deploy with. Insane, overcomplicated assembly with identical parts that only fit together one way, drab with oddly placed bright colors, and filled with overpriced parts.
