Behold the InWin Infinite, the most ridiculously over-the-top PC case that isn’t shaped like a sneaker or a shark. InWin showed off this slab of curved glass and aluminum back at Computex in Taipei, but it’s finally ready to sell… if you’re ready to plop down €6,776 on the thing. That’s a hair under $7,093 in American Freedom Bucks.
What could possibly make a PC case worth more than the price of an okay used car? Nothing. It’s nothing, okay? You can stop reading now.
But if you simply must continue, InWin’s promotional material can’t stop gushing about the 180-degree curved glass that covers the front of the enclosure. “Enclosure” might be a generous description — the design is so piecemeal that it’s obviously not going to provide much of anything in terms of actually separating your parts from their surrounding area for cooling or dust protection, even if it presents them in a pristine, cable-free way with back connector support.
The case’s signature aspect is the way its massive base rotates the entire upper portion by 45 degrees, while the glass panel rotates in the opposite direction. This is so you have easy access to the internals for modification… though from what I can see, actually getting at the power supply would still be a huge hassle. And note that in its closed position, all your cables for monitors and accessories will be popping out of the top. Novel, I suppose, but it seems like it’d ruin the designer look.
On the tech side of things, the Infinite supports eight PCIe slots, a 250mm power supply, graphics cards at a length of 370mm, and two 2.5-inch internal storage drives. (Seriously? Just two little ones?) You get room for one 120mm fan on the rear and three on the front, with an option for a 360mm radiator instead. The whole thing isn’t quite a meter tall and wide, and it weighs just over 103 pounds. That’s unpacked and set up, without parts. (It’s over 220 pounds just to ship it in a protective crate.)

This thing seems tailor-made for those esports mansions filled with teenagers shilling online casinos they can’t legally use in most countries. You can’t buy it in most countries, either — the listing is only up on InWin’s EU store at the moment, shown as “sold out,” and it doesn’t appear to be present at all on the US store. My heart bleeds.
