As of late we have been reviewing a large number of power supplies and now we have a chance to to take a look at a new micro-ATX case from In Win called the Matrix. Having seen pictures of this case prior to receiving this sample I was curious how well it would work with the interesting design it incorporates. So come on along as we take a look at this attractive little fellow.
I should note that the normal way we review cases is much like the way other sites do as well, and that is to take pictures of the barebone system and explain how each item works. We are going to attempt a different way of reviewing this unit by actually assembling the case and recording the build with our photos.
Features
Simplicity Theory
With beautiful lines and a simple design, the Matrix works well in contemporary and traditional spaces. The innovative Matrix offers a smart installation concept and enables a creative and practical approach to chassis design.
360 Degrees Visual Effect
The Matrix was designed to hide any sign of complexity, creating a non-obstructive 360-degree visual effect.
Back to The Basics
The stunning pearl white finish helps define every line and corner against the geometric design of the chassis.
Smart Cable Management
The back panel of the matrix opens up concealing cluttered cords and ports, giving the Matrix a contemporary look.
Partition Plate Cooling Technology (PPCT)
The Partition Plate reduces back draft to efficiently streamline airflow in a unilateral direction; providing exceptional thermal performance.
Volume VS. Size
Don’t let its small size fool you. At just 12.5 liters volume in size, the Matrix rivals larger chassis when it comes to thermal and acoustic performance. The Matrix is able to accommodate standard components, supporting four full height VGA cards and creating a small and quiet environment.
Excellent Thermal Solution
A 6cm fan helps keep your system cool and provides an efficient thermal solution.
Removable Mesh
The thermal vent on the side panel comes with a removable mesh screen to prevent dust from clogging any part of the internal structure of your chassis.
