A rare good find
Noise Level: Nearly SilentI can get right up to the case and barely hear the fans running and when I say "right up to" I literally mean ear to case.Material Quality: Sturdy, Good Presentation, Well madeThe first thing that caught my eye about this case was how smooth looking and roomy it was. After receiving the case, and before beginning the swap,I realized just how sturdy this case is compared to others I had worked with as my 5 year old child was standing on it attempting to reach the counter top. Well made and of quality material. Hats off to the manufacturer.Easy to Remove: Simple as can beEven roomier than I had thought originally allowing for ham hands McGee here to move about more freely which made cable management a simple task and not a nightmare. All the internal points that normally require tools are tool less and easily manipulated by hand.Summary: A well built case for the money and a solid beginner case to get your feet wet with or even as an upgrade from an aging case. As mentioned, it is very roomy and allows for easy installation as well as expansion. Made from decent materials and is well polished. Tool less is a big plus as well. Will be making another purchase soon.

Great case. Fits HUGE Noctua nh-d15!!
Great case from Rosewill. I have done a build with the original Challenger case, and was impressed.This one impressed me more though.The main thing I love about this is the roomy width it offers, while being a bit shorter. I do not like the hugeness of full towers. This is one of the shortest mid towers that I could find at 16 " high.The extra room that the side panels offer is awesome, as it not only allows more cable management, but air cooling options are phenomenal.I first threw a CM Hyper Evo 212 in this, and was impressed at the space I still had.....So, I measured and took a chance to try the Noctua nh-d15s (probably the biggest air cooler you can buy).And it fit!I have been changing out things on this case for 2 months now, and find it very easy to work with for it's size.I have changed out the fans, as I am a silence freak.The fans that came with it were actually quieter than a few fans that I replaced them with, until I went with Corsair Quiets.This does not mean the Rosewill fans were loud. This means I am a silence freak.PROS: Great looking design.Will fit under any desk.The size of this thing is perfect for those who don't want a tank under their desk.You can add so many fans, it would be overkill.Fits largest air cooler I could find!Fits big graphics "cards". I have a evga 970 ftw+ in it on the top slot.Removable hard drive rack. (I kept it)The fans included are better than some I purchased.Quite easy to work with.Price!CONS:Not windowed. I just wish it were.Motherboard standoffs may need a wrench, as some are not threaded well. I had a wrench though, so no big ;)I did not try liquid cooling, but it looks like a top 240 may be tough to fit....although I thought this about the air cooler I install.Damn good case from Rosewill that does not get the due it's deserved.I have seen many people complain about the standoffs. I have a wrench. Bet you do too.

easy to work in
This is the second Rosewill case that I've bought for a custom build. I've really been impressed with their product for the price. The cases are roomy, easy to work in, and have decent setups for cable management. I really like that the power supply units in both cases were at the bottom of the case, providing a nice sturdy base for my builds.What I didn't care for:You have to remove the front panel to release the covers for the optical drive bays. The front panel pops off and if you aren't careful, I could see someone strong-arming it a little too much and pulling their front panel wiring loose.Also, the first Rosewill case I bought was a different model (WolfAlloy) that had a different style of tool-less drive bays. The WolfAlloy drive bays slid out, you secured your drive in the caddy (it snapped in, but there were also screw holes you could utilize, which I did), and then slid your drive back into the case. There are no caddies in this model and the standard drive screws aren't long enough to reach from the hole in the bay to the hole in the drive. Therefore, I had to snap my drives in and hope that they don't go anywhere. They seemed secure enough, but I would've preferred to have been able to screw them down.All of the hardware was in a single baggie, meaning I had to sort out all of the screws myself. The WolfAlloy case I bought came with all hardware separated in different baggies, each labeled individually. A minor complaint, but something I found mildly irritating.Overall it's a decent case, especially for the price. It's good for people to be aware of what they are getting, though.

Nice budget case with lots of room inside and plenty of airflow.
There are certainly higher quality cases on the market, but you'll also pay a LOT more for them. For the price, the materials are nice, the design is good, and I couldn't find anything that really offered any better airflow.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

Great entry-level case with good airflow and cable management capabilities
All in all, especially at such a low price point, this is an excellent computer case. It was easy to assemble, and both the front and back panels are removable allowing for clean, concise cable management. Just for this review I tested out the on-board fans, they work well, and are relatively quiet. My only concern was that the rear fan's screws stripped when I tried to remove it, making it a bit more difficult. It also would have been nice if the case had come with instructions, but they were easy enough to find online.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.

Buen flujo de aire
Mis discos duros ya no se calientan ni tampoco mi procesador que es un Intel Core i5 9600K, incluso después de varias de uso.El gabinete es refrescante.

decent budget case
it comes with 3 fans 3pin they work fine with the tomahawk b450, 1200rpm i don't think it does much but it's solid. they are 3 pins they didn't work with the b450m-a board but neither could that board handle a ryzen 7, custumer service is Extremely helpful and very good. material is good the pc has plenty of ventilation, keep it going for over 24hrs doesn't seem to have problems. case is good quality and easy to access. for b450 seems the tomahawk max is the only option that can handle 7s and 9s, coolermaster hyper black fits with about couple fingers to spare, and no problem fitting a full sized gtx 1070plenty 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

Great case for the cost, sturdy construction.
I was looking for a decent case at a respectable cost. I needed something with drive bays for a DVD player and unlike most newer cases, this has two of them. This looks really nice but I was hesitant to order it after reading reviews which make it sound as if it is made out of tinfoil. I got the case within a couple days of ordering it without paying extra for shipping, so REALLY fast delivery. I installed my motherboard etc... and all went perfectly fine, no complaints. I find the case to be very well constructed. I seen no problems with the metal it is made out of at all, iut didn't scratch easy as some implied, it is a good solid sturdy build. My guess is that some on here tried tightening some of the screws, like the spacers for the motherboard too tight which is not needed. I used my bare hands to gently screw them in place with no problems. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this! I would have paid more for it knowing what I know now.
