Rosewill ARMOR-EVO Gaming E-ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, support up to E-ATX, come with Six Fans-2x Front Red LED 120mm Fan, 2x Top 120mm Fan, 1x Side 230mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan

Pros: plenty of space, bottom psu mount can be fan up or down with air vent on bottom. removable hdd trays inside have mounts for SSDs. has 2 pairs of grommets on the back for water cooling tubes in/out

Cons: had to crank on side panel behind mobo to get it open, probably shifted in shipped. front fans didn't have red leds like pic

Other Thoughts: all around a great case for the money, plenty of ventilation and room.

Pros: This was my first build and I think the case helped make it easier. It seems solid and everything fits together nicely. It comes with a lot of fans, so that was one additional thing I didn't have to buy. They're quieter than I expected. It has a cable management area, which makes life easy. The temperatures of the components inside are good, so I guess it's all working well. It was a good choice at the price point it was at.

Cons: It's aesthetically challenged. It's under my desk, so I don't care. As I middle aged woman, I realize that these things are not exactly designed with me in mind. I'm not taking off any points for it, because you can see what it looks like in the picture and taste is subjective.

Other Thoughts: When I first took it out of the box, I thought it was awfully big and blocky, but now that it's sitting under my desk, I barely notice it. I bought it for practicality and that was the right choice.

Pros: - Extremely spacious interior for my standard ATX mobo
- Comes with six fans (including a monster sized 230mm side fan)
- Tons of options for fan size and placement
- Red LEDs are on/off switchable, and are bright but not too bright
- Many really nice small touches (rubber screw spacers, foam backing where the rear of the case and PSU meet, lots of holes for cable routing, etc)
- Top fans are pulled up to increase internal space
- Sliding toolless 3.5"/2.5" internal drive trays are super convenient
- Includes a matching mesh 5 1/4" to 3.5" faceplate adapter for card readers/whatever in one of the three external drive bays
- Having the USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports being upright facing is much better than having devices and cables dangling down
- Heavy, feels solidly built
- Most of the fans contain hybrid three pin/Molex power cables, which is nice if your mobo doesn't feature a lot of fan ports
- The PSU air intake at the bottom of the case has a removable, and easily cleanable filter

Cons: - High mesh design for better airflow/lower temps also means less noise insulation (although I am not using a fan controller yet, so the fans are likely significantly quieter when not running at 100%)
- Sliding case doors are a complete disaster compared to hinges. Whoever decided they were a good idea should be thrown into a zoo animal waste dumpster
- Tight fit for wiring behind the mobo
- Most of the intakes are not filtered

Other Thoughts: This case compares favorably to cheaper cases once you factor in the cost of the six included fans and potential rebates.

I really like the design of this case. It has simple lines, and an almost monolithic look to it that is a nice contrast to the more angular designs of a lot of modern cases. There are front LEDs, but no huge side windows or anything like that. You get a little flashiness to set your PC apart from the typical "black box", but not a gaudy XTREEEEM! window case crammed full of LEDs. This case would be at home in a gaming mancave as much as it would in a professional environment.

As mentioned before, there are a lot of options for fan placement. The top two 120mm fans can be replaced with two 140mm fans, and the side 230mm fan can be replaced with four 120mm fans. There are also spots to mount two additional 120mm fans behind the internal drive bays, as well as an additional spot for a 120mm fan on the bottom of the case in front of the PSU.

The space for wiring behind the mobo was pretty cramped. Either it needs to be a little bigger, or I need to be a little better at wiring (probably a little bit of both).

I wasn't able to test the USB 3.0 ports because my mobo does not support it, but it's nice having them there for when I upgrade.

The case arrived to me in excellent shape, with none of the problems with bent metal or dislodged fans that some other reviewers have experienced.

I needed a case with increased cooling as summer is rolling in soon, and I am very happy with the one I got. There is a ridiculous amount of airflow, my temps are significantly cooler compared to my old budget case, and there is a ton of space inside for upgrades and hardware/drive/fan placement options. This is my first Rosewill case, and I will keep the company in mind for future case purchases.

Pros: It looks nice. Has the ability to run cables through the back. Isn't terribly noisy for the number of fans it has running by default. Was the first of my components to be delivered even on the free shipping.

Cons: 1 - Sliding panels. I was aware of this on purchase. However it took two people to close the back side of the case even with the wires tied down.
2 - Neither of the top two fans were pre-installed. Or they were, and they fell into the case. Concerns about if that will happen while the fans are spinning.
3 - One of the top fans elongated rubber seating was nowhere to be found. Not in the case, in the box, it just wasn't there. Again leading me to concern on if they will fall into the case while it's active.
4 - Neither of the front case fans red LED's work. They spin just fine. But either they aren't LED fans, or the light is out in both.
5 - The left most USB on the front panel's metal jacket was bent something fierce rendering that slot inert.

Other Thoughts: For the cost to what I got, I'm disappointed. This fell well short of expectations. I'll admit that I'm not going to deal with trying to send it back for the defects, as it would be more of a pain to take my components out and put them into another case. In the end, it's still a functional case. However in hindsight I would have gone a different way if I realized the quality level of the product.

Pros: I don't know where to start. Great air flow, quite fans, good looking LEDs that turn off, tons of space that can fit the biggest of cpu coolers (this one had the massive ARCTIC Freezer A30 Extreme CPU Cooler - AMD, 320W Ultimate) and the longest of graphics cards with plenty of room to spare, while not looking overly huge from the outside. Lots of expansion bays. Solid frame, and plenty of routing garments. You could go cheaper, but you get what you pay for.

Cons: When it arrived 2 fans had come off. But it was easy to reinstall them. They have rubber garments to cut noise/vibration (rather than screw to steel contact, so can slip off if you shake the case alot).

Pros: Nice case, No sharp edges, quick releases

Cons: Too many pass thrus that stop you from correctly securing an EATX motherboard in the case.

Other Thoughts: This board fits and EATX and ATX boards, however running an EATX board does not fit correctly. There are cut-outs that allow for cabels to pass through the backside and as a result you can not put supports in all the needed locations for the motherboard.... I would rated this at 5 eggs if they included a plastic or metal snap insert to delete some pass thrus.

Pros: Good price and great design and LOTS of air flow and great features like cable management and drive holders with vibration dampening

Cons: come on rosewill quality control, there were a few cosmetic bumps along the edges of the side panels nothing huge but annoying, also the back side panel (the one without fan) had a seriously bent pin (the part that locks it into the case) and i had to spin it like 90 degrees to get it to come off without breaking anything but I was able to fix it (read bend it back into shape) after it came off.

Other Thoughts: even with the annoyances its a great case and it would have been a 5 star if not for those

Pros: Great air flow and good room inside the case.

Cons: Unfortunately the USB 3.0 can't plug in because the second HDD bay blocks it. I might try and remove the motherboard and plug in the USB 3.0 while the motherboard isn't attached. Also the second fan on the top of the case won't spin and I checked the connections and everything is plugged in.

Other Thoughts: Good case but unfortunately the case fan and the fact I can't get the USB 3.0 plugged in is starting to really annoy me.

Pros: Very solid case, TONS of room, excellent cable management, and exceptional fans!

Keeps my A10-5800k at a frosty 32c!

Cons: Original case arrived damaged, had to wait quite a while to receive a replacement, but Newegg customer service was excellent!

Other Thoughts: Initially disappointed with my first Rosewill case purchase, now thrilled at my (intact!) case!

Pros: -Solid, sturdy, and quality built
-All black painted inside
-Includes a 230mm fan, and 5 120mm fans
-Hidden front fan LED on/off switch
-TONS of space for a midtower
-2.5" drive support on all 3.5" drive trays
-3.5" drive trays have rubber spacers (vibration/noise reduction)
-5.25" bay covers easily to install/uninstall
-Drive trays make swapping 2.5"/3.5" drives easy
-Dust filters on PSU and front intake fans
-2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports
-EATX motherboard support
-Great cable management
-Great case for air cooling
-Supports water cooling

Cons: -My Samsung 840 SSD's mounting holes lined up with the mounting tray so that the only way I could install it was on the middle of the tray. I had to find some spare washers to avoid putting pressure on my SSD's power and SATA ports once I had to screw it down. Not a big deal to me, and it's my only SSD, so other brands may differ.
-The 230mm intake fan is unfiltered
-There isn't much space between my motherboard and top-mounted fans. Not a big deal, unless you are putting a radiator up there, in which case you'll need slim fans. It will still be a tough fit in that case without mods.
-The audio and USB ports don't have any sort of cover, and are mounted on the top; this could be a dust-collecting issue.

Other Thoughts: I can't say enough about how pleased I am with this case. It's an unbeatable value for what I paid for it. The 6 included fans alone make it well worth the purchase. The fans themselves do their jobs silently and efficiently. They don't move a masive amount of air, but considering they are basically inaudible to me, they move plenty enough to keep my overclocked 3570k and 7970GE nice and icy.

The EVO is a sturdy, heavy case. It's fairly unique in the fact that it supports EATX boards in a midtower form factor. Cable management is pretty good, exceptionally good compared to most mid-towers. As for the internal space, it has a lot. Larger air coolers should have no problem fitting.

As for my Cons, I was being pretty nit-picky, and they weren't big drawbacks for me. I think it's just stuff to keep in mind while trying to figure out if this is the case for you.

As I said, overall, I'm very satisfied with Rosewill's attention to detail and build quality with this case. It fits my needs perfectly, and will be a sturdy case for me for years to come!
