There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm going to buy a can of gray primer and repaint the interior - its THAT bad for me. Surprised no one else complained about this but perhaps its just my eyes.
I don't have any overly large components and I definitely would recommend this case, but if you have large add-ons like vid cards and coolers, look for a case specifically designed for this. What makes this layout work for me is the case is deeper than it is tall. That enables the PSU and the HDD rack to be put at the bottom and not interfering with everything else without the mass of wiring hanging down and making life miserable.
The side panels fit really well - nice for a change as most don't. It comes with a little booklet that has diagrams but no text. Wiring diagrams helpful but little else. Like the Intel cpu documentation, worthless pictures. Someone said the case isn't sturdy - I TOTALLY DISAGREE.
I love the HDD/SDD mounting system. I'm somewhat familiar with Corsair cases, most of those that I've seen use sliding disk trays that hold the 3.5" disks and move in/out of the case. However, this Rosewill system just takes the drive on built-in rails, nice and secure. Love that when I'm wiring everything up. If I remember right, the optical bay has the same mounting. In addition to the solid 3.5" mounts, there are two screw-and-latch mounts atop the HDD and hanging below the optical bay for 2.5" drives. I use an SSD in the bottom one, haven't tried laptop HDD yet.
LEDs inside the front-mounted fans are nifty but not my cup of tea. Space for two fans on the top (can't tell you measurements, same size as included on the back), mounting holes for a larger fan on the side panel would be great. But with the right size fan, the air holes would do well enough. In general, included fans aren't noisy at all.
Optical drive covers are stylish and not too hard to remove, just look in the instruction manual. Cable management was decent, I'm not religious about that. Sure wish it had a second USB 3.0 on the front, though. There's a bit of a shelf to separate full ATX mobos from the power supply. Came with a plethora of screws, mobo spacers, and some zip ties, and a short/sweet instruction manual. Even has a motherboard speaker, mostly helpful when building a new system.
As far as cons go, the front fan cables were longer than I needed and it got crowded. In their defense, they have 4-pin Molex as well as mobo power connectivity. Nice plus. Again, really wish I could have an additional USB 3.0 front port, but the low cost of the tower outweighed that. There's no processor indicator, which doesn't matter too much to me, I use Rainmeter on both monitors anyway.
9/10, have recommended already.
Top reviews from other countries
The way the inside is laid out, you have LOADS of room for long graphics cards, if you're using one. I've seen this be a problem in other cases, where drive cages get in the way of long cards. No issues with this one. The drive bays are all down in the bottom, and slide in and out nicely. They have mounting points for 3.5" and 2.5" drives/SSDs. There is also a 2.5" mount on the back of the motherboard tray.
The power supply area has a dust filter on the bottom of the case, which is nice. Nothing super fancy, but a good bonus.
All the I/O ports and buttons are on the top of the case, at the front. The power button is large an satisfyingly clicky. The reset button is well placed, and also nice and clicky. There are two USB 2 ports and two USB 3 ports up there, along with headphone and mic jacks. The cables to hook everything to your motherboard are plenty long, and route nicely around the back of the motherboard to keep the inside looking clean.
Cable management isn't bad in this one, especially at this price. There are a handful of loops to run cable ties through, and 4 cable ties ARE included in the package with all the screws and motherboard standoffs. The back panel has a fairly large bulge in it to accommodate your cables tucked in the back, and depending on your power supply (modular/not, cable sizes, etc) it could still take some pressure to get it closed up when you're done. But there is sufficient room.
The side panels aren't exactly built like tanks. They're fairly light metal, and will certainly flex if you hold them in the air and bend them. Why you would want to, I have no idea. You live your life on your terms though. And yes, the window on the side is acrylic, not glass. If you insist on glass, well, cough up some extra cash and look elsewhere. This isn't for you. I have no problems with acrylic though, especially trying to stick within a budget. It gives you a large viewing area into the case itself, which is all black inside as well.
You may have seen/read reviews complaining that you can't insert a 5.25" drive through the lone front slot. And yes, this is true - IF you don't follow the instructions in the user guide and first pull the front panel off the case! Page 7, step 1. It DOES leave the bay recessed, not flush. If you can't live with that, probably not the case for you.
You'll be hard pressed to find a case with 3x120mm case fans pre-installed. The blue LED fans in the front actually look nice. They're not blindingly bright - kind of subtle. Also really easy to replace in the future. The rear exhaust fan is just plain black. Nothing exciting back there. What IS very cool (ha!) is that there is also space/mounting holes for two more 120mm fans in the top - OR a 240mm radiator for liquid coolers. You should never have issues trying to keep air moving through this case.
I will ding material quality one star because mine cracked in the front cover above the 5.25" bay slot. I don't know for sure if it arrived that way, or if I managed to do that myself while lifting/moving the case. I put a sticker over it ... it's all good, but be warned that front plastic may be a little brittle if pressure is applied. Or it came that way and I didn't notice until half-way through my build.
I kinda wish it didn't have such a large Rosewill logo on the front, right below the drive bay. A smaller one at the bottom of the front panel, right between the feet would have looked better. Oh well. If it bugs me that much over time, I'll put a sticker over it ... LOL

One final note for the manufacturers; while they're typically included with the motherboard, I'd be absolutely thrilled if future iterations of this case were shipped with some of the most common types of M.2 screws. It's a small thing, a few cents really, but considerations like that make a world of difference.
El gabinete es refrescante.
plenty of space. due to custumer services i would highly recommend this company, they will be on the phone with you for a long while while you install the motherboard, since the front panel interface comes as 3 2 pin cables it was somewhat annoying getting it in.
don't forget the standoffs!
would prefer if the fans did 2000-3500rpm but it's quiet enough. overall it's a decent sized tower fits ATX motherboards and has the options to add a dvd drive and a gadgety port aswell on the front. ports are 2 usb 2.0 and 1 3.0, not much but enough for front ports.
overall for $50 it's a decent tower that can be reused for future builds. at this price can't really ask for more.
pretty good for a first build case,specially if you dont want glass but want to be able to see the components.
the ease of acesss to the components via front and back panels is also quite useful when adding or finishing the system
It's rather sleek, the window panel is a good size, as the borders let you hide wiring for RGB strips. The Front fan LEDs plug right into the power supply (spin at fixed rate, do not attach to motherboard).
I personally did not encounter any sharp corners. It actually has USB 3.0 pins, which is good for this price point.
TLDR:
PROS:
- Objectively looks great
- Good build quality
- Space
- Lotsa fans
- Comes with LOTS of extra screws and standoffs! (I used the leftovers to wall-mount another motherboard to a lexan panel)
- Mediocre wiring space (Maybe I just suck at wiring)
CONS: (being picky here)
- hard drive bay visible from glass display
- Power button is realllly easy to press. If you try to use the top surface to lever up a usb or headphone pin (and the jack is tight, btw), you may end up shutting down your computer
