A few months ago, In-Win decided to hold a promotion where they gave away hundreds of free products; from power supplies to cases, they were extremely generous. I had luckily acquired an In-Win Maelstrom from the frenzy. They were also so kind as to...

Having used a fair number of casings through out the years I must admit the INWIN Maelstrom certainly has made a mark in my mind. The build quality of the case is exceptionally good and since it's made of steel it is very sturdy. Only drawback...
