In Win GRone Full Tower Chassis Review

Now that I have it out of the packaging you can see that it features a huge “I” shaped side panel window, although it’s pretty much impossible not to notice the window, it really is huge! it’s raised from the side of the chassis by 8mm and features a strong blue tint, both of which really make it stand out. I really like this feature not only does it look different and fantastic, but it also gives you a stunning view of the interior of the chassis, which should look even better when the build is complete.

The top panel isn’t lacking in features either, cut along the sides are some mesh covered air intakes, complimented by ventilation slats in the top of the chassis to provide extra airflow to top mounted fans and/or radiators. This section is also raised quite high above the motherboard, this should allow plenty of extra room for your fans, radiators, water cooling pipes and more.

Moving along to the front of the top panel we see at the top there is a rubber cover, this hides and protects the SATA dock which you can use to hot swap 2.5 or 3.5″ hard drives. Further down from there we have a central power switch, with a set of power and HDD lights to it’s left and a two settings fan controller on the right. Below that we have the usual headset and microphone ports, 2 x USB 2.0 and 2 x USB 3.0.

Moving down from there we can see the front of the chassis features plenty of ventilation thanks to it’s mesh covered panels. The top three 5.25″ drive bay covers can be removed from the front of the chassis for easy installation of your components, where as the bottom 5 covers are in fact one large panel, but it helps keep the style matched up from top to bottom on the front of the chassis.

The right side of the chassis features very different panel to the left side, but while it doesn’t feature a big blue window there is still room for a 120 or 140mm fan installation behind the motherboard.

There is plenty going on around the back of the chassis too. With a set of 4 grommeted water cooling / cable routing holes across the top, room for a 120mm or 140mm exhaust fan (140mm pre-installed), eight ventilated and re-usable expansion slot covers, bottom mounted PSU area and a huge ventilated area running down the side of the PCI slots and PSU cut-out. There is definitely plenty of room for some serious airflow and high performance components.

On the underside of the chassis we have four large plastic feet, these give the chassis good ground clearance and allow for airflow to the bottom air intakes. the PSU has the smaller air intake while the front of the chassis has an air intake big enough for a 240mm radiator. While both do come filtered they are just flexible mesh that is clipped in, this means it’s not the the most practical to maintain and you will need to tip your chassis on it’s side to clean the filters.

From this angle you can also better see how the side panel window is raised out from the side panel.
