The IN WIN GRone comes boxed in the traditional way most cases are packaged now days. The graphics applied to this rendition appear to be engineering drawings, overlaid with the GRone logo and IN WIN branding. It’s not the most flashy box you’ll ever come across, but it’s what’s inside that counts! Both box sides give a run down on the features and specifications, much like what is listed above.

Once the box is opened, you are greeted with the accessories sitting on top of the case, enclosed in a thick plastic bag. It’s a small thing, but I really like the way the accessories are left outside of the case and not wired tied to the inside like most cases are shipped. More than once I’ve received chassis where the accessories have come loose and are left to rattle around the interior during the transportation phase. The standard fare Styrofoam blocks are used to secure the GRone in its container, and it’s then wrapped in the customary plastic bag. Another nice touch is the plastic film applied to the large window to keep it from getting scuffed during shipping.

Accessories
Included in the bag of accessories are the following items:
- 8-Pin to 8-Pin (4×4) ATX 12V1 Extension cable
- Four black wire ties
- Two 4-Pin Moles to 3-Pin fan adapter cables
- Three bags of installation hardware
- Users manual / installation guide
Another nice little bonus is that each of the bags of hardware are clearly marked as to what the contents are to be used for. This is much better than just throwing it all in one bag and leaving the user to sort it all out on their own. Again, it’s a small thing, but it’s a nice touch.
