Kitguru spends a lot of time looking at mid and full-tower cases such as the Bitfenix Colossus but don't often get the chance to review more compact cases. Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX systems are favoured by many as they take up a lot less space than their full-size counterparts whilst retaining the same level of performance.
Today we are going to look at the In Win Dragon Slayer Micro-ATX case which supports both Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. It boasts an impressive specification for such a case, rivaling those of much larger cases.

I think the issues can be forgiven considering the price.
These guys always make products to tight price points, but im not so sure on this, it looks brash in a cool way, but the internals look quite cheap.
I like the looks of this from the front. the yellow bits ruin the appearance tho.
Not my cup of tea, but the pricing is reasonable. not much you can buy for that today in the tech world.
The front looks really industrial and I like the appearance. the PCI mounting bit looks like it needs to be ripped out and replaced with screws as noted by reviewer.
Quite a nice looking thing for a mini chassis. but I prefer these kind of cases to be longer and shorter. like the silverstone SG series.
Is the material strong on the front panel and side doors or does it bend easy?
Rather disappointed with the review. We finally get a case that is made for a M-ATX case and you insult us by putting in a mini itx board. Would have been nice to see the box “full” so we could get a decent look at what it can offer. So how’s about re-doing the review with a proper mother board, large video card and perhaps one of those self standing water cooling units. That would be a review.
