There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Case a little over 16.50 (16 1/2 inch) WITH feet.
Case height was a main selling point for me, as the area I have for this case is exactly 16 1/8 inch.
Grill in front is metal with plastic bezel. Easy to remove.
Removable piece for DVD drive is also metal.
Solid removable panels. Easy to remove no tools needed. Not flimsy. No sharp edges.
Front fans are great. Not silent, not loud either.
Rear fan makes a lot of noise, but pulls a good amount of air out.
Fans are all 3 pin.
Fits ATX board with no issues. Again fits ATX board with no issues.
Have 150mm CPU cooler, fits with room to spare.
Hard drive cages/bays are all removable if you need more space inside case.
You could fit a longer video card then advertised, if you remove the bottom HD cage/bays/enclosures.
Rear knockouts for GPU/peripherals use screws, so you can re use the knock outs, or put them back on if needed.
Includes all black hardware: Stand screws, HD screws, ect.
Includes adapter that goes over the stand screws so you can use a screw driver to tighten them into the case.
Plenty of room for cable management.
Mesh filter on top of case. Mesh filter on bottom of case under PSU.
Do not believe the 1 star reviews. This case included all hardware, no dents, all fans work, all holes in correct ATX location. Case also fits M ATX, and shows exactly where to put the stand screws for both types of motherboards.
This is a great case. Very impressed with the quality. Very simple case. All black. Just what I needed.
I'm going to buy a can of gray primer and repaint the interior - its THAT bad for me. Surprised no one else complained about this but perhaps its just my eyes.
I don't have any overly large components and I definitely would recommend this case, but if you have large add-ons like vid cards and coolers, look for a case specifically designed for this. What makes this layout work for me is the case is deeper than it is tall. That enables the PSU and the HDD rack to be put at the bottom and not interfering with everything else without the mass of wiring hanging down and making life miserable.
The side panels fit really well - nice for a change as most don't. It comes with a little booklet that has diagrams but no text. Wiring diagrams helpful but little else. Like the Intel cpu documentation, worthless pictures. Someone said the case isn't sturdy - I TOTALLY DISAGREE.
2X 2.5 drive mounts separate from the 3.5 and 5.25 bay mounts. 3 Large fans, and an attractive case. This is a great size case, I used a meager ITX board so it has tons of room for my build. Case is lightweight and has a filter on the bottom to help block dust from being pulled in which can be removed and cleaned. Stylish and the blue LED's are nice, my son likes his upgraded case!
Several Cons and additional comments include that the 2.5 bays force the connectors to face the outside wall of the case, as you can see from the picture the case does have some extra room because its not designed flat on ether side. Still even with this the cables are tight for the 2.5" bay, you can of-course use L shaped connectors but it would have been better if the connectors faced inside to make installation cleaner. The material of the case is very light, thumbscrews did not seem to thread well on the sides, motherboard mounts also could have threaded better but still workable. These are the main two reasons I docked one star from the review. Also like one reviewer mentioned it can be tricky getting an optical drive in, you can remove the plastic clamp briefly or carefully install the drive and then lock back in place. I would still advise using some of the included screws to secure it proper. No reason to return for that as you could remove and still mount like any other traditional case. I would not trust the plastic clip to lock into the screw holes permanently on their own either way. HDD locks feel a bit more solid but you know Im going to recomend those be secured with screws as well. Some other quality cases have it so no screws are needed with well designed locking mechanisms.
Final Notes: This is a sub 50$ case that offers a lot for a low price. You get a case packed with features even if some of those have design flaws. All in All its a great value and none of the flaws keep the case from being any less usable for most builds. I highly recommend threading everything by hand and lightly tightening the screws with a tool. My son is very happy with this build and there are plenty of fan mounts and features to really make a nice looking PC. Good bargain for what you get.

The way the inside is laid out, you have LOADS of room for long graphics cards, if you're using one. I've seen this be a problem in other cases, where drive cages get in the way of long cards. No issues with this one. The drive bays are all down in the bottom, and slide in and out nicely. They have mounting points for 3.5" and 2.5" drives/SSDs. There is also a 2.5" mount on the back of the motherboard tray.
The power supply area has a dust filter on the bottom of the case, which is nice. Nothing super fancy, but a good bonus.
All the I/O ports and buttons are on the top of the case, at the front. The power button is large an satisfyingly clicky. The reset button is well placed, and also nice and clicky. There are two USB 2 ports and two USB 3 ports up there, along with headphone and mic jacks. The cables to hook everything to your motherboard are plenty long, and route nicely around the back of the motherboard to keep the inside looking clean.
Cable management isn't bad in this one, especially at this price. There are a handful of loops to run cable ties through, and 4 cable ties ARE included in the package with all the screws and motherboard standoffs. The back panel has a fairly large bulge in it to accommodate your cables tucked in the back, and depending on your power supply (modular/not, cable sizes, etc) it could still take some pressure to get it closed up when you're done. But there is sufficient room.
The side panels aren't exactly built like tanks. They're fairly light metal, and will certainly flex if you hold them in the air and bend them. Why you would want to, I have no idea. You live your life on your terms though. And yes, the window on the side is acrylic, not glass. If you insist on glass, well, cough up some extra cash and look elsewhere. This isn't for you. I have no problems with acrylic though, especially trying to stick within a budget. It gives you a large viewing area into the case itself, which is all black inside as well.
You may have seen/read reviews complaining that you can't insert a 5.25" drive through the lone front slot. And yes, this is true - IF you don't follow the instructions in the user guide and first pull the front panel off the case! Page 7, step 1. It DOES leave the bay recessed, not flush. If you can't live with that, probably not the case for you.
You'll be hard pressed to find a case with 3x120mm case fans pre-installed. The blue LED fans in the front actually look nice. They're not blindingly bright - kind of subtle. Also really easy to replace in the future. The rear exhaust fan is just plain black. Nothing exciting back there. What IS very cool (ha!) is that there is also space/mounting holes for two more 120mm fans in the top - OR a 240mm radiator for liquid coolers. You should never have issues trying to keep air moving through this case.
I will ding material quality one star because mine cracked in the front cover above the 5.25" bay slot. I don't know for sure if it arrived that way, or if I managed to do that myself while lifting/moving the case. I put a sticker over it ... it's all good, but be warned that front plastic may be a little brittle if pressure is applied. Or it came that way and I didn't notice until half-way through my build.
I kinda wish it didn't have such a large Rosewill logo on the front, right below the drive bay. A smaller one at the bottom of the front panel, right between the feet would have looked better. Oh well. If it bugs me that much over time, I'll put a sticker over it ... LOL

One final note for the manufacturers; while they're typically included with the motherboard, I'd be absolutely thrilled if future iterations of this case were shipped with some of the most common types of M.2 screws. It's a small thing, a few cents really, but considerations like that make a world of difference.
El gabinete es refrescante.
plenty of space. due to custumer services i would highly recommend this company, they will be on the phone with you for a long while while you install the motherboard, since the front panel interface comes as 3 2 pin cables it was somewhat annoying getting it in.
don't forget the standoffs!
would prefer if the fans did 2000-3500rpm but it's quiet enough. overall it's a decent sized tower fits ATX motherboards and has the options to add a dvd drive and a gadgety port aswell on the front. ports are 2 usb 2.0 and 1 3.0, not much but enough for front ports.
overall for $50 it's a decent tower that can be reused for future builds. at this price can't really ask for more.
pretty good for a first build case,specially if you dont want glass but want to be able to see the components.
the ease of acesss to the components via front and back panels is also quite useful when adding or finishing the system
