IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: See my review below to get my thoughts on this case. I am just writing this to add an egg for great Customer service. I emailed IN WIN regarding 2 bad fans that came with the case. Received a response in less than an hour and they shipped out replacement fans at no cost to me that very same day.

Cons: See below review of mine for my cons and suggestions for this case.

Overall Review: With all electronics you will occasionally get duds or DOA units. To me what makes a product good is the customer service that stands behind it when you do have a bad experience.

Pros: Put them in my son's lower end machine and they worked fine. For the specs they SHOULD have worked fine in my system. I got some G.SKILL at the same speed that worked fine. No problem in my son's machine over past 2.5 years.

Cons: In first system they blue screened several times initially.

Worth it

Pros: the noise for the air flow ratio is amazing. silent. I mean you cant hear them at all. but push more air than my CM silent fans. At least twice as much. Swirling motion it makes with the ridges is cool too. If you are looking for fans for a gaming machine that may get hot and you want blue led fans THIS IS YOUR FAN!

Cons: none. Maybe the price.

Perfect

Pros: Used in a build for my nephews. They needed a minecraft/gaming PC but are very young and didnt need some amazing CPU. This fit the build and the budget. will handle anything those kids throw at it.

Cons: no cons for the price asked.....but currently you can get a 6 core for like $10-$20 more....thinking why not?

Nice!

Pros: From a cooling/usefulness standpoint it is amazing! Temps are perfect. Dropped considerably from stock fan. Very quiet in my opinion.

Cons: Big and ugly. If you are someone trying to show off a beautiful case this isn't for you.

Works great
