InWin has introduced its L50 Breeze, a PC case that embraces modern home décor, emphasising soft lighting and clean aesthetics. Aimed at home offices, creative studios, and modern living rooms, this mid-tower chassis looks set to offer all you need to build a powerful rig, minus the aggressive styling and vibrant RGB effects usually found on gaming PCs.
The first thing that jumps out when looking at the L50 Breeze is its reeded glass front panel. This replaces the standard flat glass generally found on fish-tank-style cases with a wavy-patterned glass that distorts lighting in an elegant way. It adds a subtle veil of mystery to the internal components, giving you a glimpse of what’s inside without showing everything in detail. To take a clear look at the internals, you only need to move 90 degrees to the left to witness your hardware in all its glory, sitting behind a tool-less, tinted tempered glass side panel.
To assist with its chic look, InWin has also equipped the L50 Breeze with its AWWA PureTone ambient lighting, which prioritises comfort and ambience with smooth transitions between cool white, warm white, and amber tones, rather than garish colours. On top of the usual motherboard synchronisation, you’ll find 15 lighting effects from InWin. One of these gives initiates a lighting cycle based on the 25-minute pomodoro technique, designed to promote focus and productivity. There’s also a lighting cycle inspired by the 4-7-8 breathing method for meditation and relaxation.
Style aside, the L50 Breeze is also a highly capable case, offering support for up to 305x277mm E-ATX motherboards, including back-connect variants, such as Asus’ BTF, MSI’s Project Zero, and Gigabyte’s Project Stealth systems. Inside its 445x235x503mm (LxWxH) dimensions, you’ll find room for a CPU cooler up to 175mm high, a 435mm long graphics card, and a 238mm PSU. For storage, you’ll find room for two 2.5in and two 3.5in drives behind the motherboard tray.
To cool everything, you can install up to nine 120mm fans, three of which can be replaced with dual 140mm spinners or a single 280mm radiator. Speaking of which, you can install up to a 360mm radiator in the top and side. Out of the box, the case comes equipped with four 120mm LM120-RB fans to provide its cosy lighting atmosphere. Plus, to keep your hardware dust-free, the top comes covered with a magnetic filter, while the bottom uses a sliding one.
Lastly, in terms of I/O, you get the usual complement of two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports on the front, along with a headphone combo jack and a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gb) Type-C port.
The L50 Breeze is available through the InWin store at €94.99, which looks reasonable for the features and styling on offer. We had a look at early versions of these cases at Computex (pictured above), and they do look charming.
