The Dragon Rider seems to have had enough success for In Win to decide it could do with a refresh, so it put together a new version, colored white.

The Dragon Rider that In Win launched in Europe not long ago is a recolored version of the one that appeared last year.

Released in December, 2010, the Dragon Rider was a black, full-tower case for anyone wishing to build a gaming systems.

That said, the white Dragon Rider comes with a structure made of steel and has five exposed 5.25-inch driver bays, as well as six 3.5-inch bays.

The former are for ODDs (optical disk drives) or fan controllers/accessories, while the latter are for HDDs (hard disk drives) or SSDs (provided they are big enough or have special mounting sets).

Fortunately, for people who just want one solid state drive in their machine, In Win made sure there was one 2.5-inch bay inside as well.

Like all other cases, the white Dragon Rider boasts an I/O panel, in this case built into the top of the chassis.

It has two eSATA ports, a pair of USB 2.0 connectors and, as expected, just as many USB 3.0 ports.

Other features include a mesh front panel, a similar side panel and four fans, one of which is large (220mm, blue LEDs), and sits on the side panel. The rest are of the 120mm variety.

All the above are packed inside a frame measuring 556 x 239 x 578 mm (21.88 x 9.40 x 22.75 inches).

Finally, the item weighs 10 kilograms and, for people who really want the insides of their systems cold, In Win had a pair of holes drilled into the back of the case, for watercooling tubes.

Caseking is the retailer where the in Win white Dragon Rider showed up, priced at 139.90 Euro ($194.67, more or less).
