Inwin BUC Review

[Oklahoma Wolf]

Recently, I took a look at a really nice case from Inwin and found a few good things and a few bad things about it. Mostly good things. Well, when it showed up here, that case wasn't alone. It brought a friend, named simply the BUC. Part of Inwin's Destiny Lite series, the BUC is a gaming case with a whole lot of cool features to talk about. I see no reason to delay, so let's have a look now, shall we?

What's the point of this (http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/../modules/NDReviews/images/InwinBUC/DSCF3651.JPG) picture? I just wanted you to know that I did in fact have change for a BUC. http://www.overclock.net/images/smilies/lachen.gif
I love what Inwin does with the SATA Hotswap for the bays, I just wish it would have been on all 6.

Still, none the less, I wouldn't have commented it it wasn't for the quote.

They should have saved the cash for useless features like a lockable hot-swap panel and used it for less flimsy plastic for the expansion card and front-panel catches. As it stands I like my Antec 300s more :p

That's because you've never used a case that's actually well-designed.

For my next build I am going with a CoolerMaster HAF, if that makes you feel better :)

It doesn't make me feel anything, since it has nothing to do with me. However, I expect that you will find it much more pleasant to work with than your current case.

Actually the current case I'm using for my main system is a random K7-era case with only two 80 mm exhausts. The HAF should be a big improvement :D

Definitely. I am tempted to mod some old cases in my lesser moments. Say a 250 mm side fan to start and then work on top and bottom..
However I got the HAF 912 and can not resist trying the 200 mm fans ..
I bought a package of 100 pc black thumb screws and used them to replace the regular screws on the expansion covers, side covers, 3 1/2 inch HDD cage, 2 1/2 inch HDD box, looking for some light black screen for top fan(s) to match front and keep things out. May add softer case feet. Funny how changes make it "mine". The rivets are growing on me..la lol
Probably useless but I hate loose parts, used a little elctrical tape on the expansion covers (bottom peg and under shallow bend).
Have fun..
Put a cheap card reader in the 3 1/2 inch slot, no way to secure second side. Secure enough though.
Interior looks old school industrial, strong where needed, adjustable design. Just a little plain.
Could use 140mm fans on front if I drill mounting holes, mm..

I like the fan filters that slide out..........but it doesn't make me want to be unfaithful to my Tt Armor+ case though....:D
