It becomes transparent when lights inside the case are turned on

Cloaking fields are something that science fiction books and films have been playing with for years, but In Win achieved an effect reminiscent of that concept without doing anything too convoluted.

True, the Tou (that word, in Mandarin Chinese, stands for transparency) chassis can't become invisible. Nevertheless, it can change the “nature” of its exterior so to speak, from transparent to opaque.

You wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at the product when taking it out of the box, but the Tou can actually become transparent.

It's all thanks to the special, transparent coating applied to the panels, which are made of touch, 3 mm-thick tempered glass.

Normally, the panels look something akin to mirrors, but when the system turns on and activates the lights inside the case, the panels become transparent.

This renders the insides visible to an extent not approached even remotely by side windows. Naturally, the 2-4mm aluminum frame become visible as well.

Speaking of which, said skeleton is made through a process called Sand Casting, which uses sand molds to produce the unusual shapes.

Now, the specifications. The In Win Tou possesses one 5.25-inch drive bay, two 2.5-inch bays. Three 3.5-inch bays, a compartment for the power supply unit (PSII Size, up to 220 mm ATX 12V), seven expansion slots, and room for 380 mm graphics cards.

Furthermore, the newcomer has the obligatory front I/O panel (near the bottom), with two USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks (speakers, microphone).

Finally, the In Win Tou chassis comes with three 120 mm top fans and one 120 mm front fan. They will disperse whatever heat lingers in spite of the CPU and graphics card coolers.

All in all, the new product is quite unique among ATX-compatible cases. Too bad In Win didn't say what price it had.
