Rosewill R103A Black Computer Case

Comment:
Excellent entry level case, comes with usable energy provide, cables, switches, and appealing lights. Case exterior is slightly flimsy, drive bay is flimsy, front USB door gets in the way and is destined to break, three.five" bay applied for card readers has an overhang that blocks visibility of the card slots, causing you to stand on your head to see the slots. I'll never know why they added the overhang. If you use the case on best of your desk, it's OK. If you use it down low, the overhang and USB door that swing down as an alternative of sliding are annoying.Case is general a little flimsy, .005" thicker material would have cost a buck and a pound extra weight, but made a enormous distinction in sturdiness. Once almost everything is tightened down, it's acceptably sturdy. Pushing in USB sticks and memory cards do not cause panels to push in.I typically cheat and attach HDD and DVD with 2 screws on 1 side, but can't do it with this case. Simply because the drive bays are so flimsy, I have to get rid of the other panel and use screws on each sides. Assist a lazy guy out Rosewill.Recommended with minor caveats.

Case is robust steel not flimsy tin that would buckle. Lots of space inside case produced construct incredibly uncomplicated and rapid. Every little thing lined up great, and no metal debree on metal from manufacturing. I always verify new instances for fragments of metal prior to constructing and commonly about tapped holes you have fragments to eliminate with tape or finger. This case inside is really clean with no metal residue. This is the initial Rosewill solution i have ever bought, and rather of avoiding them in the future, i am going to obtain a lot more of their items. Face to case is affordable look. The LEDs do not result in the white clear plastic area to glow, so it appears like just two round ugly red and blue LEDs via a clear window. I dont care for the RED LED flashing for difficult drive and am going to replace it with one more color. The Red and Blue flashing reminds me of police lights..lol I may well replace the LED with Green, Yellow, Pink, or White. Last personal computer I had with RED Hard Drive indicator was 15 years ago on a 486 DX4 100Mhz, all other computers due to the fact till now have been Yellow or Green LEDs.

Great price tag for a sturdy tiny case. None, so far. Would purchase another.

Cost is great for this case. Roomy for most builds. Incorporated 2 nice SATA cables. Power provide has 2 SATA power cords. Not positive what other guy was speaking about. Seems fine for an typical construct. Would caution you to acquire far more potent energy provide for a gaming machine. Incorporated lots of screws and standoffs. I've bought other Rosewill circumstances ahead of, and this a single appears a small far more sturdy, and paint much less probably to scratch off. Doesn't come with any fans at all, besides the 1 inside the power provide. Acquire two 80 mm fans if you're getting this case. Front panel only has 2 USB ports AND THAT'S IT. Could use audio connections, headphone/mic. Front panel LED/HDD/Power/Reset wires are extremely short for a micro ATX build. Just barely make it. They could stand to be about 1 inch longer. For this cost, you can\'t complain about this tower. Looks decent. The photos on newegg are a little campy. Those LED lights on the front are not so filled and bright like pics. I was a tiny worried, as I didn't want Wal-mart-searching-Alienware-knockoff. It appears way better than the pictures on newegg.com. AS Often, NEWEGG IS Fantastic SHIPPING AND Prices.

Alot better then other low cost instances, lots of space Energy Supply is weak but works for what I need it for

Comment:
What a good deal, case and PSU for 39.99 and zero cost shipping!! Case is sturdy, comes will all the needed components, and no concern with front wires reaching to my MicroATX board. PSU has been stable operating with a MSI 785 mATX board with an AMD X2 550 BE (no overclock or core unlock), Samsung DVD burner, 320 gig WD Blue HD, G.Ability DDR2 1066 Ram. (great little spending budget technique) None as of this assessment. Icing on the cake would be to have a rear exhaust fan thrown in.

It's a good case if you are looking for one thing inexpensive. Comes with a basic PSU that hasn't failed but. The HDD LED and Power LED operate nicely after a slight mod. Had to mod the pin connectors for HDD an Power LED to match my mobo. But that's hardly the cases fault.

Comment:
Low-cost, black, some area for drives. No sharp edges, plenty of screws & standoffs in the packaging. Flimsy, pain to install mobo. Bought on sale with totally free shipping - should have purchased a dozen for use later.

Comment:
Eye-catching, integrated power supply, well built No integrated situation fan, have to eliminate both sides to securely fasten drives Even without the case fan, this is a fantastic deal. This is not a cast you'll want to work in usually, but if your plan is to make it and use it - not continuously tweak, you really should be pleased with the end outcome. I discovered the included PSU to be quiet.

Low-cost case that is very good for the cost. Energy supply still working immediately after 18 months. This is an cheap case. You may possibly not be able to get issues to line up the first time, but with a little patience, it is not a problem. It is not flimsy, but it is not as sturdy as a case two or three occasions the value.The buttons and front hinge are low cost, but they are still functioning.The blue power light is vibrant, but I have a Dell that is as vivid. The light will light up a dark room, but when it is blinking in Sleep mode, it is annoying. A piece of tape took care of the dilemma. If you are seeking for a standard economical situation with a power supply, this is a truly great situation. If top rated high quality is needed, you may want to purchase a additional high-priced situation.You may possibly want to get some thumbscrews to replace the stock screws.

CAME WITH Energy Provide THAT Operates. FRONT SWITCH WIRES AND LED WIRES Too Short. I HAD TO SPLICE THEM TO REACH MOTHERBOARD. CASE BENDS Really Quickly AND IS FLIMSY. ROSWELL MISSED THE BOAT ON THIS One particular. LED'S DID NOT Operate. SIZE Additional LIKE A Total TOWER THAN MID TOWER. 5 STARS TO NEWGG FOR SHIPPING AS Always. 2 STARS FOR CASE. DID NOT RMA Simply because Laptop or computer WAS Already UP AND Operating, AND Buyer WANTED IT Rapid. ENDED UP Purchasing LED'S FROM RADIO SHACK

Great case for the cash, it's a decent make. It's been in use now for four years. Power supply is kinda meek but that's to be expected. Took a slight blow to the front which destroyed the USB.

Comment:
Nice searching case for a buget construct. Can be place together pretty very easily. Flimsy back panel. The optical drive component can't be taken appart, but isn't also hard to set up. The power provide reliability is however to be seen. This is the cause I only gave it 4 eggs. It only has two molex connectors for older-form devices (non SATA), so I had to get inventive to get almost everything to function. I have a DVD-R and a single IDE HDD, along with two four-pin 80mm fans. Had to hook up the two fans to the only available connectors, then use the little dongle off the fans to go to the drives. It worked, but there is no additional space to expand following this. I assume it came with three SATA energy connectors and two of the little 4pin floppy style connectors. The red LEDs are eh... The case doesn't come with any fans, so I would add two 80mm fans and some fan speed controllers for noise.

Comment:
I just can't think what a nice case this is for the cash! Almost everything works like it must...no sharp edges...a lot of space and it even looks fairly sharp.Thumbs way up! fans would be good but I already have some so it just keeps the price down. This is a third household personal computer for my daughter...I hope the energy provide holds up or else boy am I gonna hear about it.

Doesn't look like a thing from space.Less costly then some other individuals. No instructions.Very couple of screws/standoffs.No front panel audio.12v rail on power provide is 11v on a very good day.No fan included.Quite flimsy material.Front LEDs are incredibly vivid and light up the whole space at night. I purchased this to create a very basic Pc for a household member and they are happy with it. I appear for the power provide to fail soon as voltage readings are very low in windows. If it had been not for the price, this would nevertheless be in Newegg's warehouse collecting dust.

Outstanding tiny builder box. Bought this for an old mobo that I had, for the kids to use. More than sufficient space to set up more drives than the power supply can deal with. Styling cues are outstanding for such an inexpensive box. Front and rear fan mounts, as well as the perforated side panel which is just proper to mount an 80mm fan. PS fan is close to silent which is a key plus. Power light is quite bright as pointed out by one more reviewer, on the other hand, I swapped the connections with the HDD light which is red. Now it's not annoying. Steel case is thin, but stiffens as components are installed.

Low cost, standard build that everyone is utilised to.The PS is incredibly quiet that came with the case.It's a case, it holds the hardware, what much more do you want when paying 30 bucks? not abundant on hardware (was one particular spacer short to fill all my atx board's holes, but not like it required it). The PS only has two sata and 2 molex connecters (and the small four pin connector who's name i forgot), so keep that in thoughts if you have 3 IDE drives.Every other power LED connector i've noticed is a three pin connector, even though this one particular is just two seperated pins marked for positive and unfavorable, which was just a nuisance due to the fact I wasn't specific which of the three on my board were the reside pins (figured out with trial and error).Only fans were in the PS. Had a bit of difficulty acquiring the metal covering the five.25 bays off, but i'm not certain if that is typical and I just forgot how hard my other circumstances were.

This is a good low price laptop or computer case. I have had no troubles with this Case or the PSU that comes with it. None I have bought at least five of these so far to develop Pc's for my customers. The oldest a single is at least 3 years old and is nevertheless working. The original PSU is still running with no any difficulties. Just not in a position to beat it for the value. All of the Pc's that I have constructed with this case/PSU are running at least Dual-Core CPU's with 1 significant challenging drive or 2 tricky drives and 2 optical drives in them and they run just fine.

Reasonably great construction, energy provide acceptable for *basic* builds, great front USB Optical drive screwdown is terrible, PCI expansion card didn't fit effectively, lots of sharp stuff inside Was searching for a simple box for a standard build. Didn't need to have anything fancy. First factor I noticed was lack of screw holes for optical drive. It's just a lengthy horizontal cutout. You slide the drive back and forth until positioned, then you screw it down. Didn't like that. However, RTM and it says to get rid of *both* side panels and screw down from both sides. Feh. Little problem. Had to place the motherboard standouts in myself. Motherboard fit. I/O panel fit case and mobo. Pulled the power provide and am utilizing in a different fundamental construct. Case has one particular audio, one particular USB, LED/power connectors. They matched my mobo fine. Room for one rear 80 mm fan. Didn't come with case. Difficult drive enclosure okay. Cut myself putting in HD. LED's and USB on front work. PCI NIC Iinstalled didn't fit PCI slot properly. Had to screw down to force it to fit. Not very good. Power provide is 20Ʋ energy, four-pin energy for mobo, two x SATA and a handful of molex. Note there is no 6-pin for PCI-E add-on cards. Acceptable box for simple use.

Comment:
Fantastic case. I won't waste my time or dollars on a affordable case once again! LEDs are a bit too bright. My new Nvidia GTX card fits in this case just fine.

This is a fantastic case for the funds. The energy supplies are quiet and cool (so far) , even though I don't anticipate substantially of a psu at this price tag.. I liked the initial 1 so much I ordered a different. Certainly it is for an Econo-build, but it is constructed better than it had to be for the money. Amongst the issues Iliked about it is that there are no sharp edges to slice your fingers. I had the rigs going in record time since of the room. They run nice and cool because of the space. I also like the way the case looks, desirable for an econobox. Nothing, the situations do what they should and are not produced of super-thin steel. If you are interested in a great case for the income, this is it. If you want an alien-seeking space hangar, appear elsewhere. I got mine for 30 bucks with totally free shipping. You can't acquire a new decent case for any much less! SHipping was fast and reliable. THANKS NEWEGG !

Extremely good, basic case. Not a fantastic power supply, but definitely a fine a single to handle your common non-geek computer system. I just built two systems with these instances and almost everything went smoothly. The connections are labled, the metal on the case wasn't any sharper than any other case I've worked on (less sharp than some truly) and it has a lot of space without getting too huge. None genuinely, every little thing is working as it really should be. While this case doesn't have a enormous variety of capabilities, it isn't extremely expensive either. I would say this was a very good value for the money, which is most most likely what the individual you're getting this case is looking for.

Comment:
Decent spending budget situation. I have constructed into this situation at least 100 occasions. Rosewill requires to address the box the case ships in. 25% of the circumstances i acquire have some sort of harm. Given that UPS cant treat boxes like they are their own, then Rosewill wants to package these instances better. What can Brown do for you?...Attempt receiving something to me in one piece!!

overall a fairly great situation a lot of space for a regular personal computer power supply good for typical each day internet surfing playing lite to moderate games.But do not puta lot of energy hungery cards in and think its going to last. this is not a gaming PS. only a individual dislike blue energy lite to bright for me if you want a case for a standard every day rig its superior

Comment:
Inexpensive, rapidly delivery. Full hardware kit supplied. Lots of non-bottom front air intake for airflow. Wont suck the dust off the desk. None nevertheless!
