Rosewill R226-P-BK 120mm Fan ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Size, professional look, ease of use, good airflow. 120mm rear fan included, front 120mm fan mount, side 80mm fan mount. Outdated stock HSF (from Athlon 64 X2 4600+) on Athlon 64 X2 5800+ idles at 32C with 120mm front intake fan, 120mm rear exhaust fan and 80mm side intake fan (fan configuration can of course be reversed)

Cons: Audio wiring a bit short, might not fit 120mm HSF or 13" video card. Side duct is useless, mount a side fan without the duct and it's fine.

Other Thoughts: I have bought five of these for various builds. It is my choice for anyone who asks me to build them a computer. I would recommend this case to anyone who is looking for a case for a mid range budget machine. I see that it's on sale for $19.99?! I paid about $30 for every one I have bought. With every build I love this case more. I hope Newegg never stops carrying these. I would get one of these for every computer in the office if given the opportunity to build all new machines. It just works and works well. Add to it a PSU that has dual fans and the cooling you get from a $20 case is unbeatable.

Buy it

Pros: it came with a free fan

(that got in the way of the motherboard)

Cons: the backpanal
the size didnt match anything, I had to improvise so much that it looks like something that the terminator threwup. it was missing screws, I had to take out the back panal and cut it so it would actually fit, and even though i did that my video card is still sticking out the back

Other Thoughts: i expected greatness from this pc case and instead i got nothing but useless junk

Pros: Good Fan, nice case

Cons: n/a

Pros: Cheap, works, has room

Cons: when you pop out the pci slot covers there is no way to put them back in to recover them

Pros: Awesome for the price, the glossiness makes it look expensive and nice. Nice sturdy buttons. I was budget shopping and didn't expect much but wow im very happy with this case

Cons: not really a con but had to take the 120mm fan off to replace the backplate to match the motherboard lol!

Other Thoughts: if your budget shopping and like simple cases, then its for you.

Pros: cheap, roomy, LIGHT (this is also a con), four bays

Cons: There's a duct that goes on the inside of the side panel, to aid the cooling of the CPU. gets the job done, no complaints here. What Rosewill did wrong is, however, they placed the rear outtake 120mm fan too close to the duct. Why is this bad? well obviously it restricts airflow a bit, but that's not the bad part. Removing the side panel requires the builder/owner/you you slide it back and then pull away from the body of the case. Since the duct is too close to the fan, when you pull back, if the side edge of the duct is even slightly off from being parallel to the rear fan, the duct interferes with the orbit of the fan blades and either gets stuck and stops the fan from turning, or, if you're unlucky like me, take a blade off. so i tried removing the fan from its bracket to mount it directly on the case. WRONG. it comes with an adapter for 120mm fans, and you can only mount 80mm fans directly.

front bezel is almost impossible to get it off.

Other Thoughts: I almost gave this case 4 stars, because the only thing bad about it upon first contact is the thin steel used in its construction. But when I actually got to building my computer and tweaking it, I came across problems involving poor design, weak construction, and generally unintuitive design. It would've been nice if the bezel was a bit easier to take off (ex. without the use of pliers).

Otherwise, it's a pretty good case for the money. Don't expect to get an Antec out of it. Airflow is pretty decent, I'm getting 33c idle on my E5200 overclocked to 3.6ghz with the stock cooler.

Weak construction and materials is not really an issue, but I'll see if it stands up against shipping it w/ parts in it... I built a computer using this case for my brother and it must go via FedEx ground from Chicago to NYC.

Pros: You don't need screws for PCI slots, uses a nice fastening system.
Plenty of room to run cables behind MB and still shut the back door.
Extremely light
It comes with 1 120mm fan
Power button is sturdy enough
It come's with a small little speaker for beeps

Cons: This is for the very nitpicky, these really aren't that bad:

If you don't use the stock HS&F for your CPU then you will likely need to buy a thinner fan and have to take off the black piece on the side panel.
It could have used another hole or two for the far right side of Motherboard. A bit annoying plugging the 24 pin power in with it wobbling.
Went to put the door back on and didn't realize I had bent the bottom part, Simply pushed it back. Easily bendable, but easily bent back in place
The metal pieces need to be wiggled loose to open up for bays and PCI. I suppose that could be sharp, I had sandpaper nearby, but you'd likely never touch it anyway.
reset button juts out just a bit

Other Thoughts: 5/5 since it exceeded my expectations at this low price point. I'm very impressed. I was thinking of going for a better case, but with Free Shipping, it would be very tough to pass up this case. Of course there are better cases but if you are looking for that cheap ATX to save money for other components, you can count on this to not disappoint. I would buy it again.

Pros: Very nice case, a bit flimsy but no big deal. A lot more room than my oem HP Pavilion case.

Cons: Could have better cable management.

Pros: Low price. Doesn't look cheap. Nice 120mm fan included, not too loud. Decent cooling design overall.

Cons: A little bit of a pain to install mobo. 120mm fan is in a weird place and I had to remove it to put rear panel on. Front panel audio wire is too short -- just barely attached it to mobo connector.

Other Thoughts: For the price, the case is worth it. As long as you're not looking for a "cool" gaming case with side panel fans and colored lights, this case will be fine for you.

Pros: It is a nice looking case. It came double boxed witch is good. No damage. Good size.

Cons: It is pretty flimsy. I had to bend the back plate to get it out and it bent much more than that. Not too hard to straighten though. Not tool-less but I knew that when I bought it. The 120mm fan is a bit loud and it has a weird mount. I don't care for the part that holds the add on cards in place either. It sticks out and makes it a little harder to put cards in I think.

Other Thoughts: OK case for the price. I bought cheap on purpose. I won't be in it a lot. It is for work. So once I am done with the build it won't be touched much at all. I would not buy this if you are in and out of your machine a lot like I am at home. Too flimsy for that. And somewhat hard to get the side back on. Doesn't line up really well.
