The In Win GRone looks menacing right out of the box, with its wide footprint and detailed, edgy design. As we have come to expect from In Win cases, both build quality and paint job are immaculate. With five fans included right out of the box and the ability to hold five more if you want to go all out, the GRone also comes extremely well-equipped. But the chassis also manages to impress with its excellent flexibility for water-cooling, good tool-less design, and functional feature set. The latter includes a basic fan controller and hot-swap bay, for example. With a great eye for design details, the In Win GRone looks spiffy, regardless of whether you pick the gray or white variant. There is little to be criticized when it comes time to assemble the system as the GRone offers both USB 2.0 and 3.0, loads of space, and excellent cable routing. The two most annoying aspects in this nearly perfect chassis are the lack of little hooks for clean cable management and its wasted 5.25" drive bay at the top of the front, but that is all. The In Win GRone manages to impress in all important areas, which nets it both well-deserves praise and our Editor's Choice award.
