OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Packing 3 drive bays, 4 low-profile expansion slots, a top fan and 2 USB ports into a slender steel case, Rosewill's R379-SM gives you a powerful platform for building a solid MicroATX system. Bearing a 300W PSU that acts as a second exhaust fan, this compact case has many of the features you'd expect from a larger box, all neatly arranged to do the job neatly and efficiently.

A spring loaded door covers the 3.5" drive slot, and the CD slot is below that. The drive cage pulls completely out to facilitate your build, and all the cables can be carefully arrange to put things back together for a professional fit and finish.

Rosewill gives you the box to put it all together, but lets you have the joy of customizing your own private little powerhouse!

Could be better

neweggvideo
Pros: Small, looks nice
Cons: External drives need screw holes on the bottom or they can't be secured into the case.

Case is cramped. Power cables are hard to route around to allow better air flow. 5.25" drive tray extends out over the IDE and motherboard power cable headers for the foxconn 780G motherboard I chose.
Other Thoughts: Avoid using IDE if possible.

Very Nice Case

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very nice case. A simple, but classy look. It looks great as a desktop or as a HTPC. Easy to set up. Small power supply, and yet it is 300W. Sheetmetal is thick enough, hence it does not dent easily.
Cons: It only has room for 1 hard drive. You could install 2 hard drives, but no CD/DVD. Only low profile cards in the internal slots.
Other Thoughts: Very good value for the money. Smart design. I like the way the bays come off and install in the case (no screws to deal with). The lower part of the front bezel is made of plastic that resembles glass, it is easy to get scratched/scuffed. Mine came in scuffed and scratched. I noticed Rosewill has done an excellent job replacing it for other customers. I will contact them to get a new one as well.
Newegg does a great job (as usual) handling my orders.

Not bad

white Reviewed By: sjjb on 11/3/2009
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It's slim and compact plus everything fit in nicely. Good budget case
Cons: The removable door had a bad dent in the outside corner which made it hard to fit in properly. I had to try and shape it back to normal with pliers and was able to fit it tight with the front bezel, however, when I have to take it off, it's not easy to put back on.
I only removed one egg because if it wasn't for that, the case was perfect for what I wanted it for.
Other Thoughts: The box it was shipped in showed no visible damage so the case must have been put in after it was damaged. Not good quality control Rosewill. Still going to continue buying Rosewill as that's the only complaint I've had so far and have been satisfied with previous purchases.

Nice little case

white Reviewed By: BC on 10/26/2009
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Sturdy, decent breathing room, A lot of options inside the case.
Cons: The HDD seems to have to be mounted towards the power supply side of the case which maes need for a longer IDE/SATA cable then you think you would need for this case.

The HDD/DVD Rom cage is VERY easy to remove. Be careful!
Other Thoughts: The cons could be considered personal but I would think they would make the HDD mount both directions and the cage fo rit all at least lock in. However... for this price these are minor and I would buy this again and suggest it for others.

Make sure your add ons have mini/micro ATX plates! Else you will be taking it off and having a card lose in your case!

An update to my previous review

white Reviewed By: varnelius on 10/18/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Can take an IDE HD/Optical at once with motherboards that only have one IDE header (mount the IDE HD in the 3.5 external slot, route the IDE cable backwards).
Cons: Had some issues trying to insert older 3.5" HDs into the underneath internal bay. As far as I know, the specs shouldn't have changed, but some older drives didn't want to fit at all.
Other Thoughts: If you are planning on using in a passive graphics card, beware. There isn't much air movement once you drop a LP graphics card in below it if using in a tower configuration. I suspect a horizontal configuration would be worse.

While using a LP graphics card with a fan will be more noisy, it will at least stir the air in that area.

I'm debating about trying to track down a "thin" 60-80mm fan, and cutting a blowhole in the expansion slot area to get some air movement around that area. I've not tried 3d games with the passive XFX 8400 GS that I'm using now, but the system wasn't designed to play them. Just pushing 720p video is enough to get the card very warm.

On the plus side, the power supply isn't complaining at all having that 8400 GS, two HDs and a DVD reader all in the system at once.
