Introduction

In-Win is back with their latest computer case designed for gamers, overclockers, and of course high-end workstation PCs. While we know that In-Win makes some of the craziest looking chassis' on the market, it seems that the latest Maelstrom chassis is somewhat more unique in a sense that it's not too wild looking, and instead of putting too much time into the whole outside look, there are some very interesting and useful features that make this case stand out from the crowd.

This chassis was designed precisely for gamers. With a total of 10 possible 120mm fans that can be used with this chassis, it is no doubt a performance case that can have plenty of air flow. Instead of having just a maximum of 10x 120mm fans, In-Win decided to take this case to the next level and also include acoustic dampening, anti-vibration standoffs for the power supply, and rubberized drive bay installation brackets to really knock down the overall noise being generated by the fans, the vibration, and the noise made by the installed hardware.

 

One thing that cannot be truly shown through pictures on the Maelstrom chassis is it's luxurious interior and exterior painting, and the build quality. Overall, it's very sturdy and very high quality built, and the interior black painting makes it very interesting and more attractive to the eyes when the hardware is installed. And finally before we continue to the details and tests, it is important to know that even though the case has excellent air circulation prepared already, the case also comes with pre-drilled water cooling setup holes that will meet the expectations of any user using outside water cooling for their system.
