Nice case
Pros: Cost, looks, and three case fans. Lots of drive bays. Bottom PSU mount. I like the blue bottom LED fan. Front ESATA plug for easy connection of an external HD. Tons of hardware. Rubber mounts for HD cage. All the wires for the front plugs are nicely labeled.
Cons: Not really a con however I'm not used to having such a small power and reset buttons. Took one egg away because the front 120mm led fan was DOA. Contacted Rosewill and within 1 1/2 weeks had a replacement. Wasn’t happy with Rosewill customer service. They wouldn’t talk with me over the phone and insisted that I send an email to them in order to explain my problem and get a replacement fan. Had to send a follow-up email to get a response.
Overall Review: Love the case. With the three fans and my stock CPU fan, my CPU stays at about 36c idle. After reading some reviews on this case some were having a hard time pulling out the HD cage to install the HD's after the PSU was installed. They had to remove the front cover and front fan. No reason to do that. Just install your HD's before the PSU. Look, for the rpice this case is great. If you can get it with free shipping even better.
Mount is terrible. Owned for one week and it wont hold its position.
Pros: NA
Cons: NA

Still rocking since 10/2014
Pros: Got this on an AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) and she cools very nicely. To be fair, I did put an extra fan on it so it would push/pull air. Extra fan was eleven dollars at the time. Cheap and has lasted since 2014. Still going :-)
Cons: None. It's cheap and cools very well.
Overall Review: I would recommend this cooler. It was cheap at the time, 20 bucks and added an extra fan has keep my CPU moving along. My computer runs day and night (for the last 5 years) and the proof is in the pudding so to speak. Love this cooler.
Good Little Case But Not for Gaming
Pros: Good for the budget. Something to surf the web with.
Cons: The bigger 120mm front fan really cant help cool much. The front of the case has no way to open it up to allow air-flow. It has a very small opening on the bottom to allow air but it's not much help. Do you see the grey strip on the front? It opens up to solid metal not the fan. :-(
Overall Review: I added additional CPU cooling so my daughter could play Sims and Minecraft. Cooler Master Hyper TX3 - CPU Cooler with 3 Direct Contact Heatpipes . The CPU was overheating and this cooler worked. I added an additional CPU fan to get that push/pull action going on the CPU. Cooler Master Blade Master 92 - Sleeve Bearing 92mm PWM Cooling Fan for Computer Cases and CPU Coolers. So, good for web surfing. Maybe a good for DVR perhaps. The on-board graphics was good enough for Sims III and IV and Minecraft when I added additional CPU cooling. Considering I paid 22 bones for it...I''m happy.
Going strong almost 5 years now!
Pros: This has been a good drive for me. The computer this drive is in runs almost all day every day going on 5 years now. Its been really good to me.
Cons: Short warranty but heck, I didnt need the warranty. It's still working!
Overall Review: This drive will become a back up drive for me as I'm building a new computer with a SSD. Can you guess what company I'm getting the SSD from?...Yep, Samsung! Picked up a 840 EVO from them. Sure hope I can get a good amount of use from the new Samsung SSD.
Still Going Strong After 4 1/2 years!!
Pros: Low cost now (not when I bought it) Still very happy with the purchase. 4.5 years of daily use (many nights it's just left on). FAST!
Cons: Can run hot. However, get you a Cool Master Hyper TX3 or a Hyper Evo 212 cooler and you will have no problems with this 125w CPU.
Overall Review: It's been a workhorse!. Still going strong after 4.5 tears.
