Enermax Launches STEELWING Aluminum Micro-ATX Case

In what is generally a slow time for new product releases in the months leading up the holidays and CES, Enermax surprised us with the release of the STEELWING case. This sleek micro-ATX enclosure is composed completely of aluminum and a fully transparent glass side panel.

The below press release contains several highlights, including high-quality aluminum construction, strong cooling performance, and a spacious interior (for a micro-ATX case). For additional information, here is the full rundown:

Bringing craftsmanship to the next level, ENERMAX officially releases STEELWING, a fully aluminum micro-ATX case with a panoramic tempered glass side panel. Its wing-shaped front panel with one pre-installed ENERMAX patented circular-type LED fan makes STEELWING not just a gorgeous computer case but also a modern decoration. Combined with the spacious interior, STEELWING offers a great flexibility for users to build their systems including hard-tubing installation.

Exquisite aluminum craftsmanship
Composed of a premium quality aluminum body and up to 3.5mm thick aluminum panel, the structure of STEELWING is built to last. The beautiful luster of aluminum makes STEELWING stand out from its peers effortlessly. Moreover, you can enjoy the view of your internal rigs anytime through the large panoramic 3mm thick tempered glass panel. The case surface is further anodized and sandblasted to keep it from corrosion and prevent fingerprints or scratches.

Excellent heat dispersion and cooling performance
The aluminum material of STEELWING provides up to 3 times faster heat dissipation compared to steel made PC cases. The semi-open design of wing-shape front panel with 7 stacked aluminum plates can optimize the airflow. With the front and top meshes and 1* pre-installed 12cm fan in the front, STEELWING serves as an excellent cooling enclosure for your precious hardware.

We were not able to find the case at any of our favorite e-tailers, but we expect it to hit shelves soon.

I like the look of the case overall but the psu placement just kills the point of having a side window. You appear to end up just looking at the nameplate of the psu and the connections/wires. The motherboard seems to be completely hidden. This is just speculation on my part based on the layout so we will have to see what people come up with when they actually start building in it.

It looks influenced by the very popular looks of some recent InWin cases. Not a bad thing in and of itself, but if the quality and design features are just a "cheap copy" then meh. The materials looked nice and indicate decent quality. I agree with Lochekey on the layout, though given the small size and great visibility, they're a little limited with component placement.
