With the Dragon Rider, In Win has done what all good designers do, regardless of the medium they are working in. They've taken some styling cues from their excellent Dragon Slayer case, made it bigger by using the best design features from their Mael...
Abstract: In European folklore, dragons were always depicted as evil serpentine-like creatures that roamed the lands wreaking havoc towards towns, and selfishly guarding treasure. Of course, a few things have changed, in that modern day dragons became more like ...
Good price for the amount of features, 8Pin CPU power extension cables, Comes with five fans right out of the box, Expandable for up to eleven 120mm fans, Toolless solutions, USB3 support, Adequate space for cable routing...
Big heatsinks may have a clearance problem with the 220mm side fan...

The InWin Dragon Rider full tower case is a modest sized full tower case that still supports all the way up to E-ATX sized motherboards (for dual CPU or 4 graphic card solutions). It includes a rather generous 5 fans as stock, with one of them being a...
Abstract: In Win and their products have featured here at eTeknix only the once, but even then we were quite keen to sing their praises. Sure there were some niggly little faults but we did have a pre-production version so we expect little gripes to pop up from tim...
Bold, rugged gamer appearance, Good build quality, Great potential for cooling, Very roomy
Large CPU Coolers touch side panel fan, No fan control
After previous bad experience with our first In Win case review I was rather dubious about the next case review, as you naturally would be. But I can tell you that In Win have certainly improved upon their build quality and case design concepts. The D...
The IN WIN Dragon Rider we recommend to gamer who are looking for a good home for their precious hardware. Because of the USB 3.0 Ports the case is up to date and can be used for all the new motherboards too. Author: Redacted by: ...
