I bought one Rosewill case and it had really flimsy side panels. This one might be ok, but I was not happy with the one I bought.

These are good cases. The 4 USB ports and eSATA at the top is very useful and makes sense for those that put their case on the floor.

Rosewill cases are hit and miss. Some are flimsier than a postcard. Others are relatively solid.

I'm not sure which ones are good anymore.

I ordered the Blackbone case on Monday from CV and got it today. From CA to WV by UPS and not a dent in the box. Amazing. It's still $34.99 shipped from CV.

I'm using this for an HTPC build for my neighbor. It's definitely worth $35.

Pros: Comes with 2-120mm fans, tool less installation, ample amount of drive bays, 4 front USB ports, audio, and e-SATA ports, room in back of MB to route cables, meshed front panel has foam filters. No problems installing PSU, MB, and components.

Cons: Side panels do have some flex but the case is sturdy when assembled. Tool less drive locks work well to secure drives but I don't trust them for DVD drives. I also used a few screws. MB cables are too long but you can hide the excess behind the MB. No filter on the front fan. The front fan is on the outside of the case behind the bezel so air flow is restricted by the case holes. The manual is very basic. Case is only 7.28" wide so larger heat sinks will not fit.

Not in the manual:
The front bezel is connected to the case by 6 metal compression posts. It comes off easily by gently pulling it forward. The slot panels can be removed by gently pushing the small plastic tab on each side outward and then pushing the panel out.

Thanks OP for the post. I usually buy most of my stuff from NE but always check CV since they are sometimes cheaper.

I just received mine last week, and to me they are decent cases for the price, and you get 2 case fans to boot. Screw-less drive bays, and a nice front panel access at the top of the case.
