Conclusion:
The Maelstrom pulls off being an oversized case very well. It's got a wicked design - it isn't gaudy and is sure to turn heads. The cooling possibilities in this case are endless; not only can it accommodate up to ten 120mm fans but it can also comfortably hold a large water cooling setup.
I must not forget to compliment InWin on the overall quality of this case. I have always been extremely impressed by the great build quality and attention to detail on all InWin products I have reviewed - the Maelstrom Case being no exception. I would have expected a case of this size, build quality and feature set to run around $200 Canadian, but at $115 it far surpasses most other cases in that price range.
Pros:
Excellent oversized design - very eye catching look
Amazing cooling setup (there's an abundance of ventilation holes everywhere for great air circulation)
Holds up to ten 120mm fans!
Tool-less drive installation
Large amount of top access ports (I was particularly impressed with the 4xUSB and 2xE-SATA)
PRICE!
Cons:
Building in some sort of small fan controller would be nice in a case that holds so many fans
