In Win wrote to HEXUS today to tell us that it has made two new mainstream targeted PC chassis available. These are much more conventional PC chassis designs than the likes of the D-Frame, S-Frame and Tou that In Win is famous for. There's a new Mid Tower called the 703 and a new Full Tower called the 707.
In Win 703
This mid tower chassis is capable of housing an ATX motherboard, despite being designed for smaller PC builds. Users can also fit graphics cards up to 408mm long and CPU coolers up to 170mm tall. The 703 will be available in black with red accents and white/silver with a large acrylic side panel window. A 'stealthy' 5.25-inch drive bay is situated in the upper chassis facia.

In Win 707
This chassis shares the styling and colour options as its smaller brother detailed above. As a larger case it has more cooling options, more drive bays and increased maximum compatibility for your graphics card length and CPU cooler height. The chassis has three stealthy 5.25-inch drive bays on the front, accessed via a one-touch pop-open door.
The 'Gaming Black' and 'Silent White' versions of this chassis are differentiated by more than just their colour schemes. As you might guess from their colour names they are slightly modified to appeal to different market niches. In spec terms the black version has support for more case fans (10 rather than 9) and taller CPU coolers (206mm rather than 190mm). The reduction in fan capacity and CPU height in the silent White version is due to extra insulation (sound dampening material) in the white version. For the sake of sound insulation the white chassis also eschews the acrylic window.

With these mainstream designs from In Win might we see mainstream pricing? Unfortunately we don't have that information on hand at the time of writing.
