InWin has debut a new compact ITX chassis that features a built-in wireless-charging spot on its top panel and a pre-installed PSU with pre-routed cables. The new case is called the A1.
At last year’s Computex, In Win revealed a prototype compact ITX chassis called the Gaming Cube A1. Its big draw was a top panel made from wood. The obvious difference, sadly, is the loss of the wooden top panel; the A1 now sports a glass top panel with an embedded Qi wireless charger.
The glass continues to the left-side panel, which can be easily removed by pulling two plungers. Elsewhere, the case is painted steel. The whole thing sits on a clear plastic base lit by a 4-pin RGB-LED strip.
The In Win A1 comes with a pre-installed 600W, Bronze-certified PSU with pre-routed cables. There are two 6+2-pin connectors for more demanding graphics cards. Thanks to the efficient use of space, the A1 can fit CPU coolers up to 160mm in height, a graphics card up to 300mm in length, two 2.5” drives, and up to four 120mm fans. Water cooling is limited to a single 120mm radiator, which can only be mounted at the rear, however.
Availability of the A1 will begin in mid-May, but InWin did not disclose MSRP. It comes in black and white versions.
