Case Mod Friday: Ultimate Custom Desk PC

Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! This week we have Imfaceroll's “Ultimate Custom Desk PC” build. Here is what they had to say about it, "I was researching the internet one night for a new computer because my laptop just wasn't up to scratch anymore and it couldn't even run battlefield. I knew nothing about computers however i was interested in trying to put together a build. Luckily my mate knew about computers and he helped me put together a neat build."

IN WIN 805 Midi Tower Chassis Review

Three great things happened this week, first i started and finished the highly anticipated Call Of Duty Black Ops III (3 very well-known actors participate in this game btw), managed to finalize the details of our largest Christmas Mega Giveaway to date (will launch this Saturday) and i had the chance to take a thorough look at one of the most impressive PC towers to have ever reached our lab. I'm sure you all understand that after years and years (over 8 to be exact) of testing PC cases there aren't that many things that can impress me so when one does it's obviously something unexpected. IN WIN may not be amongst the most popular PC case and PSU manufacturers in the world but they've been around in the consumer market for almost a decade now (my first IN WIN review was back in 2008) and have released a large number of award winning products. However it wasn't up until a couple of years ago that they really took the market by storm with their new PC Case line and today with us we have their brand new and quite impressive 805 midi tower.

IN WIN Development Inc., an ISO 9001 manufacturer of professional computer chassis, power supplies and digital storage devices, is the leading provider of enclosure solutions to system integrators worldwide. Founded in 1985, IN WIN provides high quality chassis that conform to all safety regulations, as well as unsurpassed customer service. With no sharp edges, the logo also portrays a state of energetic harmony between technology and art. Thus, our slogan "Contemporary and Innovative" serves as the foundation of not only our product development but also our attitudes in serving and catering to our strategic partner’s wishes. We take the "im" out of "impossible"… …A brand without persistence is only a name.

The 805 Midi Tower may be quite smaller compared to some other midi towers in the market but it still has plenty of room inside the mini-ITX, micro-ATX and ATX motherboards. Much like the Ante P380 the 805 has no forward 5.25" optical drive bays and that results in more interior space which can hold a front 120/140/240/280mm radiator (60mm thick) or two 140mm intake fans. There's also room for 3 extra 120mm fans (bottom and rear), three 2.5" drives behind the mainboard tray, one 2.5" drive ontop of the 3.5" drive cage and two 3.5/2.5" drives in the drive cage (this can also be mounted vertically). The two features however which steal the show is the support for a front USB 3.1(Type-C) connector and the three pieces of tampered glass used on both sides and the front of the aluminum tower. This is the first time we've got our hands on such a case so let’s see if tampered glass is the way to go.

Ozone Strike Battle Mechanical Keyboard Review

The Ozone Strike Battle arrived here in a relatively small brown corrugated cardboard box. It was shipped with UPS Standard, and arrived in okay condition here at the APH Networks offices in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. There were some dents, and the corners were a bit beat up, but nothing to complain about. The inside box was not damaged at all, which is always a pleasant experience when opening packages like these.

Pictured above is how you will find the Ozone Strike Battle mechanical keyboard in retail stores. The box shows off the red theme of the keyboard, since it has red backlit LED lighting effects. The front of the box displays the keyboard with a red and silver background. The name Ozone Strike Battle is found in the top right, with the font looking a bit "rugged" to accentuate the Battle aspect of its name. The bottom left advertises the key features of the keyboard, such as the tenkeyless design, aluminum top case, macro capability, and red LED effects. These features are great for anyone who likes to move around a lot and wants to take their keyboard with them, especially since it does not include the extra bulk of a wrist rest or number pad. The top left of the box states Cherry MX mechanical switches are used, and placed in an English US layout. The box also has red splotches and the top left of the box, which I am guessing is to further show why it has the name "Strike Battle". I would say just from the box, despite its no-frills design, has gaming in its roots thanks to its macro functionalities. Hopefully your games will not involve the number pad though.
