We’ve been impressed with the products IN WIN have brought to the table in recent times, but I’m afraid to say the Griffin does not yield such a positive result. The phrase ‘style over substance’ comes to mind. The Griffin looks and feels great for a budget case, when I first took the case out of the box I was very much looking forward to getting the kit inside but this was soon thwarted due to poor case design from within.

As I’ve already mentioned this case would only need to be an inch bigger in width and height and the catalogue of problems would be avoided.



For those with the mATX format, you should have no problems installing your components into the Griffin as long as a low-profile CPU cooler is fitted of course. The issues reported were found with the ATX format and I would hope that IN WIN take a look at some of the issues highlighted as I’m sure there will be customers out there finding out some of these problems not before too long.

Pros
+ Looks great
+ Innovative front control panel
+ Very affordable

Cons
- Tool-less fastening inadequate
- Cannot fit performance CPU coolers
- Big issues with ATX format motherboards
