In Win's B2 Stealth Bomber Computer Case

In Win B2 Stealth Bomber Case

The Front:

As we look at the front panel on the case, we find the large black triangular power button in the center, the hard drive LEDs on the right and on the left the people at In Win have put a touch-sensitive button for the front external auto-opening bay door. This is one of the nicest features on the case and adds to that "Stealth Aircraft" styling they put into the system and name. With the computer turned on, one lite swipe of your finger on the red touch-sensitive button and the front bay door opens up and back above the case using a small motor hidden into the case front and 4 sets of arms to angle it parallel with the top of the case. This alone gives the look and feel of a stealth aircrafts hidden internal weapons bay doors opening and closing in the real world, a very nice touch we might add. Inside the top-front auto-bay door cavity, they have placed a bright blue LED light to illuminate the front area of the case should you need to access your optical drives or floppy area in the dark. In the last image below, you can see how the front cover has been neatly stowed in its up-and-back open position.

     

The designers at In Win have not overlooked the fact that in the event that you would like to open the front bay door while having the system powered off for any reason, that you can do so without breaking the door or its' opening system. To achieve this they have incorporated yet another "stealthy" feature, in the form of a manual gear-release mechanism hidden into the front right side that sits flush with the exterior of the case, with small white text instructions next to the forward pointing "Rescue" arrow. The images below show this emergency manual gear-release mechanism or "Rescue" mechanism in both the normally closed and flush to panel state, as well as in the open state to release the gears allowing you to open the front bay door without the power turned on. Just below the manual gear-release "Rescue" mechanism for the front bay door, you have a hidden "stealthy" access cover that flips open to reveal the front access ports for the case providing you quick-access to two E-SATA ports, two USB 2.0 ports, one Firewire port, and the front headphone and microphone ports.
