Product Story

InWin IW-CS-A3BLK-1AM120S A3 Tempered Glass - Fig

The A3 and A5 are direct descendants of the notorious A1 Series.
While the A1 Series is an excellent option for minibite systems, a common request is to have a larger variant. Cue in the A3 and A5! It’s an all-new experience that offers  polished aesthetics, refined internal layout and enhanced thermal performance, while maintaining its desired compact structure.
