Introduction

We've reviewed a few cases here recently, with Coolermaster and Lian Li sending us some of their top end kit. Today is no different, with high end case and PSU manufacturer InWin dropping off their Maelstrom chassis for us to take a look at. It features some rather interesting looks to say the least, along with fluorescent cooling fans, and water cooling mounts ready to go. Let's see how it turns out.
