In Win - manufacturer of detailed designed cases. The company produces cases which at times are so far fetched in terms of looks that one may wonder and think "who would buy this case?". This may be the same response you will have when looking at the...

The In-Win Buc is more expensive than the average entry level case, yet it is not so expensive that it breaks the bank. The Buc is not the most flashy case available and did not come with a plethora of features and designs; it has just the right...

The BUC comes in from InWin as a member of their "Destiny Lite" series. A lower cost of entry into this line will make this class of enclosures more accessible. What is a BUC capable of? What is a BUC, for that matter? And how well does it work...

All in all the BUC is a well-rounded mid-tower case. It's got the best tool-free PCI mounting system I've seen to date, and the case is solid and well built. The only issues I had were with the HDD hot-swap trays and cable management. If those...

Although In-Win has launched a great number of cases inside the past two years they haven't really stopped introducing new features and the BUC is an example. So aside the really good paint job which is something i always liked about cases by...

The BUC was very nice indeed on both the exterior and interior. Lets start with what I like with the interior. First, the nice black look made it not plain but sleek. The case can support five hard drives being installed at once which is cool to have...

In a surprising move, it is the second and unexpected review sample arrival from Inwin that finds itself earning a recommendation here today. I thought the Dragon Rider was a decent case, even if there were a lot of things going on with it I didn't...
