Building in some sort of small fan controller would be nice in a case that holds so many fans
Abstract: Video Review: The In Win Maelstrom Case is one of the better affordable Full Tower Cases on the market, if you like the styling. There are lots of drive bays, please of fans, black interior, hole on the motherboard tray for the coolers retention plate and much more.

The Maelstrom pulls off being an oversized case very well. It's got a wicked design - it isn't gaudy and is sure to turn heads. The cooling possibilities in this case are endless; not only can it accommodate up to ten 120mm fans but it can also co...
Overall, I really enjoyed working with the In-Win Maelstrom chassis. There were some moments when it was pure joy putting together the system, however at times I felt like In-Win could have done a little better. The first thing I have noticed that I w...
Plenty of room, Extreme cooling/airflow, Sound absorbing foam, Easy to install, Unique design
No toolfree design for expansion slots, Long motherboard power cable required
The In Win Maelstrom is certainly a different take on the recent amount of In Win cases that I've seen. It has a unique design built with a solid structure. The amount of airflow and cooling options of this case still amazes me. The sound proofing, an...

The Maelstrom case has many features and options found in premium and high-end cases, however for the price point, the materials are steel and plastic which is why you find this case in the $125 USD range. PCWizKid defines this case as a mainstream ga...

The IN-WIN Maelstrom has a long list of features, a quality build, and the capacity to hold a crazy number of fans. Add an attractive design and, for an extreme user chassis, I don't think there's a long list of cases available that offer more for th...

The IN WIN Maelstrom lived up to its expectations and performed quite well in the live testing. Its large size and hefty amount of airflow right out of the box from the factory proved that fans do make a difference, though they may remain slightly aud...
If you like the looks, the Maelstrom is a good choice....

As you can see, the Maelstrom isn’t as “option packed” as the X-Fighter, but does offer all of the same “ideas”. While it may not have a dedicated fan cooling the GPU’s that is built into the interior, I think the door...
