"Engineering, I need more power!" "Cap'n, the engines are near to meltin' now; she canna do it!"
Heat has always been the bane of machinery, and computers are no exception. Even as processors are designed to generate less heat, we users pile on more hard drives, more powerful graphics boards, and try to squeeze as many boards into the case as we can. Rosewill's mid-sized tower has two 120mm intake fans and a 120 mm exhaust fan, and you can add a fourth fan to the side panel if you like.
Designed for the ATX and mini ATX motherboards, with nine 5.25" drive bays and six 3.5" hard drive bays, and seven slots for expansion boards, this steel case lets you cram a lot into a little without breaking a sweat. Is this the case you need? I don't know. But I bet your own Chief Engineer will thank you for it.

- Pros: Nice looking, lots of room and should be cool with 3 120mm fans.
- Cons: I have been building custom PC's for some 12 years and I have never seen such a hideous system for mounting the hard drives. The other reviewers were much too kind. You cannot mount from inside. You have to remove three of the front bay covers(easy), then you must remove 4 screws to get the 3-bay cage out. Then comes the fun part. Mounting screws are accessed thru DEEP holes in the sheet metal. Magnetic screwdriver or tweezers plus a LOT of patience are a MUST.
- Other Thoughts: Cannot believe an actual human being approved this design.
Superb Case for Mid Experienced Builders and Up
- Pros: Sturdy, sleek, well constructed, excellent airflow, intelligent interior design. This case surprised me with the quality of materials and construction. It's fairly sturdy and all panels fit back together well without any warp or shift to the case or panels. Panels were not flimsy. Case internal design is well above expectation. This case provides a flexibility with drive management that I have yet to see in another low to mid budget case. HDD, FDD, and Optical drive placement can be customized to fit user needs. Each 3 bay HDD tray can be moved (comes with 2) to position your drives to where they are more convenient. HDD trays are designed to give good airflow, above and below each drive to help reduce heat. 120mm fans are silent, well mounted and provide enough airflow to keep the case interior well cooled especially with good cable management. Cables for the IEEE 1394 port on the front can be removed if not needed. Expansion ports on the top are very sturdy.
- Cons: Hardware included only had 7 standoffs so full sized ATX boards measuring 12.0" x 9.6" will need to get extra standoffs. I must agree with other users that mounting HDD's in this case is not an easily accomplished task. I would say that new system builders should get a little experience or should be slightly mechanically inclined before purchasing this case. Fans utilize 3 pin connectors with no adapters. While flexibility to remove the IEEE 1394 cable was included, the audio header cable and the USB header cable are integrated into the same plug so if you remove one you remove both. Case length is not good for long video cards. Some may work but will fit a little snug. The edge of my motherboard (12.0" x 9.6") comes right to the edge of my HDD's. Front 5.25 bay covers are difficult to remove. I found it easiest to remove them from after taking off the front face.
- Other Thoughts: I highly recommend this case to any mid level system builder or higher especially if looking for a good HDD cooling solution or that needs the ability to expand to 9 HDDs. This case has a wonderful design. Flexibility more than makes up for the slight extra work involved to mount HDD's. Any highly experienced system builder would appreciate this cases ability to adapt to the needs of the system. Users manual is easy to understand and includes instrucitions for how to change the hinge on the front door to swing the opposite way. Overall I am very happy with this case. Newegg had this on my door within 2 days.

A solid case
- Pros: This case is fairly well-equipped for its price. It comes with enough fans to cool everything off so you don't need to buy extra ones. Also the fans have LEDs, which is a plus.
- Cons: If you have a big graphics card you will have a hard time installing (although this is a problem on many cases because graphics cards are becoming obscenely large).
Also, the removable panels that hold the air filters on the front are a pain to remove-- the plastic clips are very stubborn.
- Other Thoughts: Overall it's an excellent case and it looks pretty cool, especially if you have a lot of LEDs inside to liven things up.
Great case, awesome all around
- Pros: Fans, fans, fans, LOTS of fans, awesome for a budget gaming rig, love the door on the front. Some say they had trouble with the HDD mounting, I personally didn't but it really depends on your interpretation of "trouble". Very fast shipping aswell, Thanks Newegg!
- Cons: Front fans are 3-pin connectors so you might need to buy a Y-splitter or something of the sort.
- Other Thoughts: No PSU but I didn't really see that as a con because I had an extra one.
About Average For A Cheap Case
- Pros: About the same quality as the other cheap cases,it gets the job done
- Cons: Fans on the front eventually failed one then the other
- Other Thoughts: Rosewill would not replace the fans even with the case still under warranty.So 1 Star for a useless warranty and utterly worthless customer support
