In Win 901 Mini-ITX Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 9 years ago
Interior
The interior of the chassis has been treated to a stealthy powder black finish, while all the cables have been given a black sleeving.
There’s a fan/rad mount in the back of the chassis, with the relevant cable and water routing cut-outs already in place; no need to get the Dremel out then!
The PSU slides in from the side of the chassis when being fitted. Since there is no bottom air intake, you’ll need to mount it fan-up, but there’s some extra airflow holes on the interior of the chassis to help keep it running cool.
The storage bays are really nicely designed, you’ve got two removable 2.5″ brackets; one on the left side and the other underneath. You’ve also got two slide out 3.5″ trays. All the brackets are metal, no plastic nonsense here.
There isn’t a huge amount of space for cable management, but the 3.5″ drive bays have pre-fitted cables and connectors to make things nice and easy. There is a small pass through hole above the PSU and there should be more than enough space in the lower section for excess cables.
These are very handy, but should you really need to, you could always unscrew and remove them; something that will no doubt please the chassis modding community.
Here you can see the back panel removed, this will make it nice and easy to hook up all your monitor cables, peripherals and other devices.
