    Case Layout and Features

    The InWin 303 is a square which is a little odd for a computer case as all of the corners are a perfect 90 degrees and it measures 19 inches tall and 19 inches deep.  Traditionally the front panel would hold external 5.25” drives and front panel controls however, as the photos show the front panel is completely flat with a lighted logo and USB ports. 

    No crazy angles and no plastic panels.

    Turning the case around you will find a very ornate venting system in the shape of a four row hexagon pattern.  These are stamped into the metal and hold a significance that you will see later.

    A popular feature of InWin gaming cases is the inclusion of a tempered glass side panel.  While having glass on a gaming chassis may sound dangerous it is quite thick and will resist shattering so unless you have a tendency to break windows in your house or car there is little chance of any real danger.

    While there is no official indication of this I would also consider the tempered glass side panel to be the front of the InWin 303 chassis.  Reason is threefold.

    • Lack of any significant features on the front panel
    • Tempered glass side panel
    • Removal of visual obscurities inside the case.

    All of those things combined really put a lot of visual importance on the glass side of the case and what treasures it may hold inside.  Sadly, that kind of importance also puts pressure on the owner to build their PC in a manner befitting of the case.

    You will find a total of seven expansion slots on the 303 and with the PSU relocated to the top of the case the last expansion slot is basically touching the bottom of the case.

    Above the expansion slots you will find the traditional rear exhaust fan that supports 120mm fans. (not included)
