In-Win Allure mATX Case Review

Accessories


The first page after opening the notebook had a cute but extremely corny quote, "You are a thief and a vandal, for not only have you stolen my heart but tattooed it too." with a space for someone's name. While it would have been sweet if it was translated a bit better and the case was used as an odd gift from a boyfriend to his girlfriend, it just seems a bit odd here. After showing that to people around me and having a fit of laughter, I went on to look through the rest of the notebook.


In the above photos, the instruction manual (full colour and actually reasonably helpful, unlike most case instruction manuals) can be seen, as well as the unique power cord that allows the back cover to be shut while the computer is plugged into the wall (a useful feature to be sure).

The power cable is unlike any other; it has a 90 degree bend so that the power cable can come neatly out of the back of the case. The instruction manual was very easy to follow and outlined the steps necessary to open the case, add a PCI/AGP card and install the motherboard, hard drive, external drives, and rear fan.


Other than the manual, there was a bag of screws, an In-Win Allure bookmark with extra Swarovski crystals, and a power cable. The case did not include many accessories but considering the fact that it is a tool-less case, I am not surprised. Now some might laugh at the fact that the Allure included a cheesy bookmark, but it is important to keep in mind who this case is designed for and geared towards: girls. Any girl who would buy this case would like a trinket like this (especially the extra crystals included to decorate other notebooks).
