Rosewill R218-P-BK-450W MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case, come with 1x 120mm Fan, 450W Power Supply

Pros: Low cost
power supply does the job

Cons: Case is not so great - the front panel for audio and USB is near impossible to flip down. The structs supporting the expansion slots bent pretty easily when installing a video card. LED is a little bright

Other Thoughts: Not sure on the quality of the power supply, but with respect to output it should be sufficient for most lower-end computers. I have a 7200RPM HDD, EVGA SSC GTX 650 Ti, Pentium G860 on an Asus H61 board with 8GB RAM and everything is stable fully loaded.

The sticker on the unit says:
3.3V@22A, 5V@20A -- 140W
12V1@15A, 12V2@15A -- 320W
-12V@0.3A -- 3.6W
5VSB@2.5A -- 12.5W

for a total 450W. I emailed tech support, who told me that the 12V rails were divided as follows:

1. CPU power and 20-pin motherboard on the first rail
2. HDD and PCI-e on the second one.

At a discounted price this is ok (mine was part of a combo deal), but at $50 I'd rather spend a little extra to get a better quality case and a more trustworthy power supply.

Pros: Cheap as possible.

Cons: Awful Quality!

Pros: Keeps everything cool. Power supply that comes with it powers everything I have with no problem, it does heat up a little bit when under heavy stress, like when I'm playing a really heavy game.

Cons: Only has one fan, could use more for increased airflow.

Pros: None

Cons: Two of the screws stripped out tightening down the motherboard. No, I did not over-tighten the screws. The 120mm case fan is SUPER LOUD!!! I will now have to spend more money to get a quieter fan for this case. Also, in case you are wondering because I was, the power supply does not have a fan opening in the bottom of it. It just has a small fan on the back of the case. Do yourself a favor and spend just a little more money and get a nice case that will last you for many computer builds. Avoid this one!

Pros: Awesome room, comes with exhaust fan and power supply... Zero problems mounting several boards. I will continue to buy these for customs that don't care about the case.

And comes with risers and plenty of screws!

Cons: None

Pros: -Great Price
-Good Wattage with included power supply
-Lots of interior space
-Lots of expansion room (See below)
-Basic look

Cons: -Not really a Micro-ATX case; seem like it could easily fit full MB; too much expansion room
-Case Fan isn't super quiet but can be control via MB
-Boring look/no window
-Difficult putting back on side panel [the right side panel was hard to get back on because the metal was bending in the middle making it hard to slide the top middle brace into the slot; I only removed to add screws to opposite side of drive bays]

Other Thoughts: Overall, this is a great case for the price. I got it with promo and am hoping to receive mail-in rebate. After all of that I should be getting this case for $33. Can't beat that price when it comes with a 450W power supply.

My wife wouldn't like a case that had too much light or was too large. So this case fit my need. It also fit with the rest of my budget build.

This case doesn't have any bells and whistles (not great cable management; no no-tool slots; etc). But it holds my computer components, and that's why I bought it.

Pros: Low Cost, Light Weight PSU Included. Good for the price.

Cons: Do not try to cable manage the cables there is a C-channel bar which is right against the back cover panel. Also the USB Door folds down on the front of the case, I had to use a screwdriver to open it, just leave it open

Other Thoughts: I'd still buy it for low cost builds but not for myself.

Pros: As described. Basic mid case. Comes with HD Audio and AC '97 plugs. Sufficient front USB/Audio connections.
Good value, quiet PSU fan

Cons: Mine came with a 120mm fan that would not spin.

Other Thoughts: Rosewill enclosures are my "go to" for value driven systems. The defective fan is not an indicator of their overall good value as a brand.
They have a good mix of very popular and well priced/functioning items. As with anything electronic, the potential for a failure at time of first use exists.

Pros: none

Cons: I bought two of these cases. On both, the on/off power buttons do not push back out when you depress them. They always stick when they are depressed. Also, on both, the USB ports on the front will short out the computer when you touch them. stay away!

Pros: Great case.
Great deal.
Does everything it was suppose to and I would buy it again!

Cons: The only problem, the USB door on the front. It should just be pushed down with your finger tip and tuck away. This one seems to get stuck and I have to push on the bottom corners to get it to go down.

Perhaps it was just mine, but considering I planned to sell this build, I was disappointed

Other Thoughts: Still a great case for a good deal and I would recommend it!
