We have seen some tanks with quite nice
open frame chassis previously were provided as a solution for those want to
design, modify, upgrade and overclock like research their PC. But In Win XFrame
is the perfect example, be most careful design of the this frame that we have
encountered so far.
As you wait, XFrame gives you open access
to all types of components - after all, this is important point - but also many
other things. Besides looks pretty nice and gives you a great portable handle,
the X-shaped green aluminum frame with yellow rubber feet at each corner allow
you to rotate the device that you put in XFrame by the way you want, as
vertically and horizontally without sacrificing stability. Because the frame is
quite light, we would be surprised if someone not does that.
In Win offers extensive support for
advanced hardware on XFrame. It supports motherboard form factor up to E-ATX
and has 8 expansion slots, so SLI or CrossFire configuration is not the
problem. The chassis can accommodate up to 2 2.5-inch drives, 2 5.25-inch
drive, and 6 3.5-inch drives, and it has the usual port array in the front
panel (2 USB3.0, 2 USB2.0 and audio I/O), which is arranged along the thin
silver surface runs across the vertical center of the front surface of XFrame.
XFrame motherboard tray is removable (a
process without instruments), as well as the blue foot/handle. In Win also
gives drive bay an unique locking mechanism: the screws that you use to tighten
the drive rails to position into drive, and when you put the drives in the
tray, slide head of the screw into the grooves on each side, you can lock the
drive into place by pressing the orange lever in front of the drive bays.
These small details like this make XFrame
flexible and easy to use. Cool metal tray can fold in one of 3.5-inch drive
bays, which stores much chassis and motherboard screws to ensure that you will
never have to find screws or wire when you swap new motherboard or add new
memory card.
In Win offered XFrame retail price is $400.
But XFrame is the case with limited edition aimed at a very special group of
users, and with these people, it provides incredible usefulness and
convenience, combined with sleek and sturdy structure makes it's worth for
money.
