In Win MaelStrom - Full Tower Case Review

[toncheky]

Padding keeps the sound in but also provides insulation and keeps the heat in, too.

If you ask me, I wouldn't recommend it.

[TheFearNL]

anyone knows the case is big/wide enough for a scythe mugen 2 rev,B?

[scottykeddy1]

fire hazzert

[ducking1010]

why do you hate the handles? I love em.

[Porschakin]

planning on building a new PC soon and this case has caught my eye

[clever625]

Best Inwin Maelstrom Review~!!!! Thank you for taking the time out to explain features to us. Much appreciated.

[TwwIX]

I really like the look and layout of this case even though it lacks cable management.

That can be easily resolved with some modding though.

Is the hard drive bay removable? Also, is there a filter on the intake on the bottom where the PSU goes? I can't really tell from the video.

[ducking1010]

@TwwIX yea a filter is there

[kims800]

is this a good case?

[shadow9702]

UGLY AS HELL!!!!

[Cr4z3d4ng3l]

this case is nice if they put cable management space in it

[Crawlerz246]

ugky as hell

[michaelwidmer12]

I Can Get it here in Switzerland for 129$ USD. So yeah. Is it better than the

Thermaltake Element V or Thermaltake Shark. And one Question.

[cmtann]

I am currently using Thermaltake Xaser 3 Case and this In Win Case does has some similarities to my 6 years old case. I will be upgrading my case and it definitely wont be this featured case but Silverstone Raven 2. And that case to me is what case innovation should be! Do check out the reviews of Silverstone Raven 2 or 1 and you will probably get my idea.

[PCWizKid]

@cmtann, I already did a review on the Raven 2, please watch my video, yes the RV02 is a great case.

[cmtann]

Watch it already! Great Case !!! n thumbs up review.

[jaja1818]

@cmtann yeah..kinda wanna buy raven 2..but i didnt like the orientation of the hd..i like ft02 though..except the price..since its kinda more expensive than rv01...the rv01 is pretty nice too..but i have gripes on how they finished the front panel on how they "stealth modded" it by doing the up and down thing..would have them not doing that...still wish alienware would just sell their cases separately..i bet they would get high sales there..lol

[TwwIX]

@cmtann The Silverstone Raven 2 costs twice as much as this case and has piss poor airflow. Way to waste your money.

[Rindorochi]

already got it, um lets just say "its cool"

literally , its so cold, so many fans XD

[bubrockit]

I just ordered this case on newegg!

[Em0killer13]

DAM! , Great case , The only thing i would change or add , would be some cable management holes , and a different type of front bezel . <3 dust Filters .

[mephistos57]

maelstrom should come up with a whole new case, different concept - sleeker looking front while still having good ventilation but no handle next time, try all regular fans w/o color and blue LED themed. The audio jack and buttons that whole panel is a winner, A for innovation In-Win, and 5 star video.

[sandiegoborn32]

The 2 green handles on the front just kill the look of the case...

If I get this, I'm going to have to paint them black or find a way to remove them.

Other than those green handles, this case looks very promising.

[cisco760ca]

did he say floppy? who still uses that.

[TheRageFest]

@cisco760ca I refuse to use dvds and cds. I dont even have a drive for either in my computer.

[PBskill]

Alot people still do, but it can also be used for expample a usb hub, or a fancontroller

[cisco760ca]

to me a floppy is like a vcr . Hardly nobody uses them . I just think he didn't know what to say so thats why he mentioned that

[LLOYD19851012]

i would change the side fan to 6 fans. so my computer runs faster and cooler.

[halfpol]

runs faster! ye

[Waddles11]

I just ordered mine yesterday from new egg. Does anyone know if you can take those handles off? Also how does it look with them off?

[Kalywonkas]

This case seems to have good functionality but it just looks ugly to me.

[skagman76]

I just got one from ebay for £25 & £10 p&p i was only bidder. A bargain seen as though the only place i've seen em being sold for british pounds was for £94!

Full of little inbred gimps these comments!

Thanks for review!

[hokymerej]

I foresee a big problem with the design.

Since the power and reset button are on top, as are the USB ports, I can imagine hitting either by accident as I try to connect something.

Since the casing would be under my desk, I would probably be doing that USING THE FORCE (no eyes needed).

[SirDamned]

Hmm...Those handles are pretty stupid..

[haguylerman]

good case 5 star video

[Uploadvidz]

too bad the handles are just for show.

other than that this was a very interesting review.

[pspcustomfirmware]

Very nice case and review but it just costs too much for m wallet.. ( its still just thecase) =)

[TheFeeForTheWorld]

I want to have this Kids money...

[DaBurningLegion]

agreed

[DaBurningLegion]

if you're trying to make me feel 125$ aren't alot of money

you failed

[TheFeeForTheWorld]

Well you fail at spelling...

[DaBurningLegion]

oh really?

im sorry..

oh

i meant

i don't give a flying fuck so suck it

[NikeySunfire]

"flying fuck" I lol'd ...no, lame gtfo

[DaBurningLegion]

i know lol =D

i just saw it somewhere and i thought it was funny so i started using it :D

[NikeySunfire]

I said it was LAME! so it's stupid

[blackendheart1s]

i got an azza spartan for $40 comes with 2 120mm fans and 1 90mm fan i added 1 more fan and it works great. 120mm in front 2 on the side and one 90mm in the back

[TehPivot]

pretty much awesome for what it's worth the handles look cool

[jtgsystems]

i can make better ! lol... nope

[1dolar1note1]

so mutch cooler O_O

nice case but the money... no

[rubenflush]

That case looks very good(Y)

But the money too:P

[Gamerzlife]

you seem sad in this vid. you have a good day?

[XerAnDERyLMAO]

case looks nice bro

[zgarner2]

Everything about the case seems decent especially if someone wants a case tat stands out. Only thing I do not like is the pointless handles. They do nothing but take up room.

[forestgriffin95]

Hey Do You Have Any Reviews On How To FIx The Blue Screen Of Death :O Please reply in a a Message!

[leavemealone300435]

look though his video plus i think gigafeed has a tutorial on how to fix it

[diazguzman2021]

good!

[videosurfer69]

OH MY GOD! In Win please fire your designers and get new ones. Why in the love of god couldn't they just go with an somewhat simple and straight forward design instead of this hideous plastic monster? Also there is no cable management what so ever. This could of had a tons of potential, with that price and cooling properties + it's a full tower case. Too bad they screwed it up.

[xpepnessx]

4:04 You said "Thumb-Less Screws".

PCWiz you silly guy.

[Hypermobilemind]

This looks like a very nice case. I have been looking for a new case. I think I'll get this one.

[ikcti]

Yellow fans -_-"

Other than that I think it's great!

[marsblaster3000]

PCWizkid, how can you take hardware out of another computer and put it a different case like this?

[NikeySunfire]

ummm...maybe uninstalling and installing again? use common sense people...please

[supermediahelp]

what program did you use to record videos?

[NikeySunfire]

Camtasia Studio...or something like that

[joevitxx]

So how do you win?

[dankill16]

dont like this case

[ALilEmoGirl117]

Original looking tower. looks kinda freaky.

I like it !!!! :)

[aznb0y00]

Are these towers like a back up hard drive? because you said that you need to install hardware in them so it could be a computer that's hard to install stuff in it tho!

[Cotton926]

PCwizKid , Im really happy for you. Ill let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!

[QUproductions]

and what are rails?

[PCWizKid]

@QUproductions, please watch the video again to understand what the rails do.

[QUproductions]

what are tower cases?? and can this actually run stuff

[PCWizKid]

@QUproductions, tower cases are empty and dont run anything on their own, you install pc hardware in them to make the computer.

[ginohaskins]

that thing looks lika nuclear bomb or sumn. wtf??

[JamboyStu]

Yeah it's ugly!

I do like the shape, but not the handles on the front.

[grpace]

Not bad

[ComputerTechTV]

6x120mm on side sweet too bad the case isnt very good looking.

5/5

[JamboyStu]

Yeah, but you could easily mod it to suit your taste.

[Zayras7]

Good review, not bad at all for the price.

[Eragon86micky]

Dude, Cool PC!! 5/5

[Zillerz3]

i really dont like the look of the case but it does have the good cooling im sticking with my mid-tower Cooler Master CM690 NVIDIA Edition =) it was on sale 99.98$ hehe

[Zillerz3]

its for watercooling it takes up 2 slots i think thats what ive been told from other ppl i might be wrong

[85foxbod]

Some people have a watercooling resevoir and other stuff like that

[DarksideShuffle]

Lol thumbless screws, but great revies 5* =)

[341464]

cool pc @@

[IxXPacOXxI]

looks ok, nice review

[jo05dk]

"thumbless screws" "speacker buzzer"

Think you need to pay a little more attention;-)

The case: Well.. It has the right amount of features. But man.. That's one ugly case imo. Wouldn't have it if you payed me. Well.. That depends on how much we are talking about.

No thanks. Not for me, not in a million years.

[PCWizKid]

@jo05dk, actually I did it on purpose to see if YOU were paying attention. Looks like you are ;-)

[jo05dk]

Yeah right:-p

Good comeback though. I'll give you that:-)

[speedfighter101]

Holy shit, thats a vacuum cleaner. Because the only thing it sucks in is dust! And ugly looks, but nice review as always

[NitroglycerinStudios]

great case but ugly front!!!

[Omellykim]

you sound sad to day

[alfyajw]

absolutely no cable management, wtf worthless

[videoman362]

where do u get your curser?

[Jackviper5005]

It's... It's Unique(Ugly)

[mt75270]

great review like all your vids

[yves247]

two grips, which arent grips, because if you use them, they'll break.

Wow, thats useful.

And massive Ventilation. For massive Dust. Cuz theres no filters.

Wow. Just 125$. Thats freaking expensive for a bunch of §%&(

[PrinceKilborne]

omg, i would kill for something like that... i am currently unemployed so i cant build my own =( and my old socket 754 just died on me..

[IanStoianov]

Its got a bunch of good ideas, but their execution seems a bit flawed. Though for the price of the case, I guess its fine

[killstation3baseball]

ever heard of Dust!......

[TechnoGuru27]

Not my type of case....

[greenhornet123]

my god its ugly

[ksmsli]

that case is horried the handles are pointless.

[poortaiwanese]

wat a fugly case

[coijoi]

nice

[Piratearrrr]

Really hideous case, why include handles if they aren't strong enough to use. Case designers need to remember it's about function. Also, voice overs should always be a last resort.

[shane101010101010]

whens your next contest? lol

[2007FORLife]

LMFAOMFG? This is one ugly case :|

[ethr95awd]

Great video.

As far as the case it needs dust filters on the PSU and that giant side intake fan. Also needs holes on the motherboard tray for cable management. The style is not for me. I wouldn't consider this case for those reasons.

[evilcrow1001]

Dust magnet...

[edgars911]

wtf with all kids they hear easy word RAM more ram better game running. ^^ 4gb is good for gaming but no they need more than 8gigs ^^. when you think about server holding then you can think about buying more RAM.

[LegionShade]

Well isn't that logical?

[f00tballfever]

its the truth lol nothing rong with kids saying that.

[MGNabomb]

Well beauty is a matter of opinion. Some people even like those cases that look like fucking deceptacons lol. Eugh, those are nasty.

[Laverty888]

haha thumbless screws XD

[mitsumi76]

I love my antec 1200 :P

[aschris87]

not out in the uk yet...

[niceblue00]

that's cool

[joevitxx]

I was looking at this case. I need a new one. I don't even have my PC in a case. LOL. My video cards wont fit in my old case. Lanbox are to small for big cards, big CPU cooler, and the air flow is crap.

[xArcaneLordx]

awesome

[sniper4usmc]

ugly case

[angelandredd]

i like actually the "swing side" opening feature... they really thought about that... but they should improve the cable management... Corsair Obsidian 800d has better cable management as well as there heat air flow system...

[angelandredd]

i don't like the front of the case... though.. its cheaper than top brands

[MysteryRidahz]

prebuilts are better, sorry

[bfudge85]

prebuilts are not better my bios are not oem locked so i can over clock my cpu also i spend less and put in what i want in to my custom pc. i own a dell xps 430 and i own a asus rampage 2 extreme rig. the dell i cant over clock cause of the bios but my asus i can on the fly. my dell costs 1500 my asus Intel Core i7-950 for 1200. its cheaper cause i am reusing a case and psu and grapics card but its way faster than the dell.

[Exstince]

LOL

[bfudge85]

thanks pcwiz nice case. i would do water cooling.

[Electroguy1996]

when im older ima learn how to build pc's and ima gonna build one that can run crysis perfectly on high with no glitches and has huge amounts of memory and RAM

[jjtrasher]

Why not now? im 15 now and i was building pcs since i was 13, and ps, memory is the same as ram, the term you meant was hard disk space :)

[Electroguy1996]

yeah i meant hard disk space =P. yeah i just dont have the time i get loadsa homework and stuff and dont have the money blah blah blah. plus im just kinda intimidated by the thought of building a pc but im fine just using them ;)

[438426x1]

it doesnt look heat efficient with all those holes everywhere....

[Intellmac]

Cool!

[shehanster]

hey pcwizkid could u do a review if the xclio windtunnel?? im builing a rig on friday

[glennr94]

[snaketh1]
