Rosewill R220-P-BK Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This is my fourth system build and all I can say is wow! This case came double boxed and ready to go. Someone else mentioned that the three included stand-offs weren't enough, but you don't need any stand offs with this case as they are built in (round protrusions at the back of the case). This made for a fast and easy install of the motherboard. The front usb & audio ports were equally easy to install, unlike many other, higher priced cases. I can barely hear the system under my desk with 2x 120mm & 1x 80mm fans, unlike my other TT Armor case which can sound like a jet enjine at times. The front is easily removed for installation of an 80 , 120, or 1 other larger size fan. I have been unable to get my case above 35C with three fans + PSU fan.

Cons: The only minor problems with this case are that the addon card slot doesn't work well. once you install a gfx card or other card, the cover doesn't fit back on well, but it really doesn't affect performance/cooling at all. Another problem is the 120mm fan in the back gets in the way of my DFI Lanparty mobo audio card as it sticks out from the mobo farther than the usb/ps2 ports.

Overall Review: If you are going to use after market cpu air cooling, you are almost certainly going to have to remove the black duct that attaches to the 80mm side vent. I bought a red led 80mm fan to take its place and that has made the case look even cooler as well as providing better air flow to my CPU cooler. I am very happy with this case and recommend it to anyone on a budget looking for a solid case.

Pros: -Budget price -Large (Plenty of space for my microATX) -Huge rear fan -Great packaging ( Box arrived inside another box ) -UPS delivered it on time and in perfect shape. -Does what it's meant to do.

Cons: -The SIDE PANELS BEND easily. It's frustrating to close the case because you have to make sure you insert it correctly with all the slots or else it will bend and STICK OUT. -PCI slots BEND easily also, my ATI HD 5770 caused the SILLY RETENTION DEVICE to bend. -Power button wobbles easily. -Can't control the rear fan's speed. -Easily attracts finger prints and smudges

Overall Review: The case is really not that bad. I mean, you get what you pay for. I bought this case for my Maximum PC's $647 budget gaming PC. It works fine, I haven't had any serious problems with it. I wouldn't recommend this case if you open your case frequently. But if your just looking for a simple case that holds well, then this a great option for the price.

Pros: This case is BIG and SPACIOUS,holds all my equipment no problem,nice clean look,Fan is big and quiet,front ports,blue power LED

Cons: The side panels are flimsy, and the back is really flimsy where the i/o shield and pci openings are.The reset button is really small.Front cover is hard to take off.Only 3 standoff screws came with mine.Mine didnt come with any motherboard screws either, but luckily i had some from another computer to use.

Overall Review: But with these cons its still not a bad deal for a case i really like it and would definately buy it again. and for the price its a steal in my eyes. Just listed the cons for people that want to know some of the down sides of the product, but really its not a big deal once you get it.

Pros: Relatively sturdy case that can mount ATX and Micro ATX without the need for standoffs. It came with all of the screws necessary to mount any hardware you have. It comes with a 120mm fan that plugs into your motherboards sysfan connector and not the power supply. The fan is as quiet as can be expected and does a decent job of keeping the case cool. The internal connectors for the cases front usb and audio are easy to attach. The front panel audio jacks support hd audio as well as the traditional ac-97.

Cons: You need to remove the fan to install your motherboards ioshield if the one that comes with case doesn't fit. The plate holding your pci cards in place can be difficult to put back on. The screw doesn't quite fit after you install a pci card. The internal connector wires are quite short and can make it quite difficult to attach them to your motherboard. If you have a lot of pci cards installed and your audio or usb connectors are on the far side of your motherboard you may not be able to use them.

Overall Review: This is a decent case that has some minor flaws. Some minor flaws are to be expected from such a cheap case and aren't hard to deal with. For some reason my case came with three (only three!, not four or six like you would expect) motherboard standoffs. This seems strange to me because I managed to install both an ATX ad Micro ATX motherboard without them. I doubt your pci cards could be secured to the case with them installed.

Pros: Inexpensive, clean and attractive. Keeps things cool just fine on low-mid system.

Cons: Cheap construction, almost all of the metal tabs, such as the ones in back, are punch outs, and if accidentally removed leave a hole in your machine. Metal is thin, case door is hard to get back on totally flat after several removals due to some minor warping. Has a door on the back that allows you to snap your PCI cards into place without screws but the hole is in the wrong spot so it doesn't work with most cards that have thicker metal (such as all of them) so you have to screw them in and leave a big hole in the back...which I solved with gaff tape.

Overall Review: Decent case, low price, cheap construction, but looks nice, a bit of a pain during setup and some baffling "features." I could not get the LEDs to work no matter what I tried...even after reading what some people said on here about HDD and Power being switched (which on mine judging from the cables they don't appear to be) but again, I couldn't get them to work at all.

Pros: Very nice looking case with a choice of black or silver trim covers for front air access. Roomy and inexpensive too. Double boxed to insure safe arrival. Rear 120mm fan mounted on plastic plate with clips made it easy to remove to access and change I/O plate.

Cons: Drive cages were out of square so that holes that line up on one side of drive, are misaligned on the other. Made it a struggle to get screws in to hold drives in place. I don't know if this is an isolated problem or is problematic with this case model.

Overall Review: Rosewill makes lots of different cases and if I needed another case I'd pick another model. Seems like there is almost always a special price or shipping on some Rosewill case. Newegg order processing and shipping as always was very fast.

Pros: -Tooless entry into side panel - Lightweight - Great price

Cons: -Included 3 stand offs which confused me -Tooless card slots more trouble than worth

Overall Review: Needed a case to put extra pc parts in for my bedroom pc. Have an old A64 3200+ undervolted, and with the mATX + this case, dead silent. This is exactly what I wanted. A no frills basic case. This is great value for the money. I haven't had any trouble with mine since owning it for a week now.

Pros: Very sturdy, solid construction, but not too heavy to pick up and move around. Haven't cut myself once and I've fiddled around inside it quite a bit by now. Very roomy, lots of expansion space etc... and plenty of places to tuck away bundles of cords and things so that you're left with a clean interior and lots of room for that monster fan to do it's work. Also has a motherboard mounting rack inside that provides air space behind your motherboard and doesn't require spacers. It's very handsome, if the picture online looks tacky to you (it did to me, I fully expected it to look ridiculous and very plastic) that is not how it looks in real life. It looks very nice and not in the least tacky or plastic. Great airflow, front and side vents and the huge fan included make cooling a breeze, and the roomy interior makes sure it will always be so no matter how much you cram in there. Front panel doesn't look tacky either (another concern of mine) when opened or closed. Dirt cheap!

Cons: The big fan on the back makes it a little hard to install the motherboard. My I/O panel just barely fits between the case and the fan so I had to do some excessive and annoying maneuvering inside to get my motherboard in place. I'm not sure if it's the motherboard or the case's fault, but one of the side vents has a duct leading to the CPU heatsink, obviously to give the CPU it's own air vent and provide direct fresh air flow to the CPU specifically. This duct does not line up with my CPU heatsink, it's several inches back and above where it should be, a sizeable mis-calculation on someone's part. Luckily this duct is removable so it's not a big deal.

Overall Review: For those interested in visual options, those silver-coloured strips on the sides of the front of this case (front air intake) are replaceable. They can be removed to be replaced with the black alternatives that come with this case, or to be painted or otherwise visually spiffed up and put back in for a unique look.
