Every year, at Computex, the PC industry's central trade show, exhibitors quickly get to know the legendary PC case maker InWin after just a short walk around the exhibition hall. The company's cases are typically sleek, ultra-modern designs with tough edges and corners, an emphasis on quality materials, and a lot of creativity. Looking at the company's ModFree or POC designs, you'd be hard-pressed to find a competitor that dares to be so bold.

But what catches the eye more than its usual innovative design is InWin's Signature line of PC cases. These are limited-edition, ultra-avant-garde designs designed to attract attention and become brand ambassadors. Take a look at the works of the past few years: Diey (a dynamic glass chandelier), Yong (an asteroid-like sculpture), and Z-Tower (a twisted take on a classic tower case).
After a pause in 2023 (plus the pandemic put Computex on hold from 2020 to 2022), InWin's 2024 work is a return to the top.

Yes, there will be more than one such case in the world. The Infinite's chassis rests on a huge oval base, with the lower half of the chassis mounted on two pivot points. The top half is a striking 180-degree curved tempered glass that covers the inside of the case, and this piece of glass is stunning enough on its own.

Like some of InWin's other chassis creations, this one is also dynamic. The upper glass is fixed to the hidden arm on the back and stays still, but the lower half rotates to the right at the pivot point, about 45 degrees, revealing the inner workings of your PC and exposing the main motherboard compartment for easy maintenance (or just appreciation).
Considering the opening action and button placement, most people who present this case will show it from this wide side. So, it's hard to say which part of the Infinite chassis is "front" or "back". (If you really want to use them, the built-in ports in the case are on this side.) The narrow side opposite the glass allows for the installation of a 360mm radiator, with three fans emitting light from the edges, as you can see here......

You can also install an additional fan above the motherboard's I/O area. At the same time, the internal motherboard mounting solution can support Extended ATX motherboards, and if you prefer, you can reserve cutouts for the new MSI Project Zero and ASUS BTF rear connector motherboards to hide as many cables as possible. When the chassis is closed, the motherboard's I/O ports are facing up and to the left, which is really a challenge to keep tidy in such a bold build.
Other common specs include support for full-size ATX power supplies, seven PCI Express expansion slots, two 2.5-inch drive bays, and three chassis-mounted USB ports (one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 and two Type-A). But let's be honest: you're not going to buy this case because of that!

As crazy as it may seem, most of InWin's Signature cases are mass-produced and sold in limited quantities. Infinite is no exception. According to Andy Che, director of product marketing at InWin, about 50 Infinite will be manufactured – not "unlimited" production, but more than a few. Most of them, though, won't go to the open market. These Signature cases are often bought in advance by companies to serve as a central display piece in places such as corporate offices.

To complement this unique position, Signature cases tend to be priced far beyond the average PC case. For example, Z-Tower, a cast sculpture that surrounds a PC case, costs $5,499; Yong's pricing starts at $4,399. InWin hasn't announced the price of Infinity yet.
But the horseshoe-shaped curved glass would be difficult to replace once it broke, and the manufacturer said they needed to commission a professional manufacturer to achieve this complex bending, and the bending process of each huge piece of glass took 5 hours.
