Packing 5 drive bays, 4 expansion slots, a 90mm rear fan and 2 USB ports as well as 2 audio ports into a slender steel case, Rosewill's R363-M-BK gives you a powerful platform for building a solid MicroATX system. Bearing a 400W PSU that acts as a second exhaust fan, this compact case has many of the features you'd expect from a larger box, all orderly arranged to do the job neatly and efficiently.
The two front 5.25" bays are equipped with optical drive covers, to keep things clean and equipment hidden. The drive bays are designed for tool-free installation, to make adding drives easy and quick. CPU air ducts and video card vents on the side panel enhance air flow for system stability.
Rosewill gives you the box to put it all together, but lets you have the joy of customizing your own private little powerhouse!

a nice case with touch of darkness
- Pros: nicely built with a nice large power button that glows blue( that, while in dark areas, can be used to see the buttons on your keyboard).
- Cons: i wasn't to found of the hard drive placement that makes it hard to install a SATA HDD without a 90 degree Sata Cable. an evil status light on the reset button that kept annoying me with its ugly orange glow. but i fixed that problem by covering it with black electrical tape. look whose laughing now status light.
- Other Thoughts: aside from its minor flaws, this is the perfect case for people on a budget. however i think mine is cursed because while i was building my PC, a lot of terrible weather occurred everywhere within a 30 mile radius. except for where i lived, we only had a light shower. coincidence? i think not.
Rosewill rocks!
- Pros: Ultra glossy, sleek looking, no sharp corners, lightweight
- Cons: Easy fingerprint marks!
- Other Thoughts: Not sure how long the 400 watt PSU will last since I ordered it not too long ago, but based on past experiences with Rosewill -- they're RMA is superb. I am not afraid to buy from Rosewill because of the effort they put in to ensure customer satisfaction (the fact that they go through customer reviews and try to satisfy customers who received defects at no extra cost won me over even after a PSU I bought from them failed last year)! Keep up the good work, Rosewill.

need more info
- Pros: I like the look of the case, the PSU is nice, and it'll be slick sitting next to my TV as an HTPC.
- Cons: Hard to add more than one HDD.
No instructions for drive-bays.
Drive-bays only have one accessible side.
- Other Thoughts: It would have been nice to see some instructions come with the case. The one I have didn't come with any, so it's difficult to add any drives to the system.
Great Case!! for fifty bucks!!
- Pros: This is a great option for a family, entertainment, media, productivity, and light gaming (WoW) computer. The case has great looks; the hidden DVD bays work great with my drives. Adequate power supply (again for fifty bucks) It’s powering an AMD Athlon II X4 620 and 785G IGP with ATI Radeon HD4200 graphics. It’s very light but sturdy enough. Power supply comes with 2 groups of cables (besides the 20+4 pin Motherboard and 4 pin CPU) one group has 2 Molex connectors and one SATA power connector, and the other one has another SATA and the floppy connector. The right side panel comes with thumbscrews. It comes with soft rubber feet. All the cables are perfectly labeled and are easy to connect. It Comes with AC’97 and HD Audio connector. The CPU vent can be adjusted for height and direction (a little bit).
- Cons: One of the main issues with me is that it comes with only one removable panel (left side). The drive cages are not removable except for the HDD bay. You have to remove the front to get the drives in. The mechanism for securing the drives is flimsy. The lighted (blue LED) area around the power button it's too big (not bright) for me.
- Other Thoughts: This is a great case for fifty bucks (free shipping most of the time) It allows me to put together a really nice computer including monitor for five hundred thirty one bucks. (Always finding components with free shipping) You can add an 80 mm at the front. The fan on the back is loud a max settings, luckily my mobo could decrease his speed 50%. The air duct vent didn't line up correctly with my mobo. Components. (It would be great if everyone lists this info, Please collaborate)
- Rosewill R363-M-BK (this case)
- MSI 785GM-E65 (great mobo)
- AMD Athlon II X4 620 (Very snappy for general use)
- Crucial 4GB DDR3 1333 CT2KIT25664BA1339
Complemented with old IDE PATA HDD and IDE PATA DVD Burner.
Again if you are on a tight budget (why pay over a hundred bucks for a case?) this is it for a Micro ATX case. Also this computer is not working 24/7 it is used when we need it, mainly for video editing and web.
Drive bays are garbage
- Pros: Power supply seems to work plenty good enough, thought I am only running Athlon II x3 435 w/o a video card. I love the look of the case, its very sleek with not alot going on (although as mentioned it is perhaps too glossy).
- Cons: Motherboard won't bolt down flat. Drive bays are designed HORRIBLY, use some sort of keying system that allows your drives plenty of room to wiggle/sound like buzzsaws. Would it be so hard to use the tried and true screw through a hole method?
- Other Thoughts: I was able to get my dries to quiet down by actually BENDING the metal lips up to such an angle as to create enough pressure to keep my drives from sounding insane. Not sure if I just got one that was sized wrong but irregardless, its an inherently awful system. I almost wanted to give this 2 eggs because of the internal construction, but the power supply, looks, and ability to rig the drive bays into a useable state saved it. Combo deal with the mobo didn't hurt either, as always Newegg delivers.
