InWin launches 928 Super Tower Chassis (999 USD) based on one piece of aluminum
It has been a while since we've heard from Chassis specialist InWin.They have a new model in the works for you called InWin 928, which it's angular shapes and tempered glass it will impress. A pretty cool feature is that is based on one piece of aluminum.
The 928 SuperTower has rounded corners and weighs in at 23 kg. The front, top, and bottom are made of one piece of aluminum nice and phat at 4 mm thick. It has dimensions of 571 x 335 x 656 mm (HxWxD) and pretty much any motherboard is going to fit with support for mini-itx running up towards even the eeb format for the 28-core Xeon W-3175X. Two power supplies can be housed alongside two 3.5-inch hard disks and six 2.5-inch SSD/HDD disks. Cooling is possible with three 140 mm fans in the front, three in the back and no fewer than six at the top. 420 mm radiators can be placed next to each other.
The 928 number almost matches the price in USD as it can be purchased from the InWin webshop starting May 16 for a price of $999.

My brain is not comprehending there being fans directly behind the GPU outputs.

Lol, that is a rather odd construction indeed:
Hey here is an idea! let's make an absurdly priced case that you can build a system in, but not hook a monitor on to!
Win-win

Too expensive to be of consideration for me personally. I only wonder if such companies deliberately try to make a product that doesn't sell well.

Port are inside the case and cable goes from a hole somewhere, it's like dust free case for extreme environement PC, but here it is to make it cute.

I'm loving the aluminum bit. The specs are a bit odd for a case this large though - a lot of wasted space here. The reservoir area has a 2x 5.25" bay mount evidently, but how do you manage to get only 2x 3.5" drives in something this big? As a data hoarder, this is a huge limitation.
Anything in this price range should be capable of housing at least 4x 3.5". Having 6x 2.5" SSDs is great, but for any serious big-budget build, I'd go with RAID1 on 4x / two pair of massive HDDs to complement that.

It appears there is a cut out on the lower left of the back side for cables.
Very interesting and very expensive...maybe one day I will build with this case...It does look better than my 900D though.

It's just my opinion but personally I don't see anything that says $999 worth of pc case. And that goes for volume/size and design.
Would take the Corsair 1000D over it any time and it's almost half the price of the InWin 928 to bout.
Now if it was $500-600 and was going for looks first, then the InWin would be a no-brainer(assuming the choice was only between the two).

Subjective, but I don't really like how it looks. Besides that, even if I did like it, that price is outlandish. It's easily $300-$500 beyond where it probably should be priced.

I wouldn't say it's that bad.

Looks nice. Now let's wait to see how many people cut themselves on those aluminium edges.
