okay pro's and con's, which to choose?

ROSEWILL:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147037

i like this cuz its low price, back AND front fan, toolless design. NO Powersupply (already got one, why PAY for another crap 350watt'er)

IN WIN:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811108024

i like the simple design, no "tube" on side door for vent, since i got a big Zalman HSF, plastic clips for dvd drive and popping the side off.

the rosewill is mid tower and in win is a mini, technically my 1 HD and 1 dvdrw would fit in the mini, but doesnt leave much room for air/upgrading.

suggestions?

low price/toolless/airflow/midsized are my biggest selling points

They are apples and oranges. One is a mid-tower ATX case and the other is a mini-tower microATX case.

Besides, the Rosewill has 120mm fans front/rear included. Few InWin even have 120 mounts on the rear. The Rosewill also has HDD isolation - rubber bushings in the rails. See the Rosewill case thread here.

No contest in my book. the R5604 is t he one I own. The TAC duct is easily removable and blockable. Too bad you missed the intro specials on the new Rosewills...

Most or all of the mid tower InWins come with 120mm exhaust fans so that might be reason enough to go with the larger ATX version. The InWin is also tool-less btw.

Want to check prices at both the Egg and ChiefValue as occasionally they may differ in your favor. No rhyme or reason to it.
