The Slovenian liquid-cooling systems manufacturer, EK has introduced a new computer case dubbed EK-Quantum InWin 977EK. Developed in partnership with InWin, the case is designed especially for liquid cooling PCs, featuring a dedicated capacity for two 420mm radiators, arrangements for pumps, reservoirs, and combination units. Its unique design offers an easy and convenient assembly for premium PCs with customized liquid-cooling systems.
Specifications and Design
The EK-Quantum InWin 977EK measures 525 × 250 × 575mm and is handcrafted from a solid sheet of high-quality matte aluminum, 4mm in thickness. It adopts removable dust filters and mountings at the top and bottom for radiator placements, which are easily reachable via the back of the case by loosening four screws on the rear panel. This approach makes the cooling system installation and maintenance process simple.

The power supply unit bracket pulls out from the case and functions as a base for the pump, reservoir, or combination unit. The construction supports tube-style combination systems such as the EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 300, as well as flat systems like the EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT 240.
