Rosewill Destroyer

[DZeroENT]

Take a look.

7 x 12cm fans, removable HDD cage, dust filters, HDD shock-proofing, and a painted interior!

I'm impressed.

Did I mention cheap? Just in case (no pun intended) the tin snips slip.

Its like a poor mans 900. And thats NOT a bad thing.

Nice find actually for the price.

I am planning a build in the next couple months, and the Rosewill Destroyer caught my eye, too.

With no feedback on newegg, I think I may wait or pursue alternatives. The feedback on some of Rosewill's other popular cases was not so hot. A couple folks had issues with the mechanisms securing PCIe cards and hard drives.

Maybe some feedback or reviews will show they have fixed the issues.

The poor man's 900 is the 300.

I have been researching cases from $50 to $200. The Antec 300 has stood out as a pretty wicked piece of work. With all five fans installed, its got some awesome air flow and can keep CPU temps down to levels close to its bigger brothers. I have even seen big heatsinks, like the Mugen 2 in it.

I think Newegg has the 300 Illusion for $55 now. It has two fans in the front instead of the one that the Standard 300 does.

Anyway, in the $50 to $75 range, its worth a look.

I have the Rosewill Wind Knight and although the quick tool-less nonsense doesn't work it comes w/ PCIe screws, as well as, all the hardware need to mount things given the situation that the tool-less doesn't work.

People really give Rosewill a bad name and hurt their sales.

If you can't operate a power tool or a can of spray paint you should stick to the overly priced cases.

+1. Well said.

However, I do wish more new cases are using a rotated drive cage.

Anyways, you should be able to do some watercooling (320 rad on top) or put in a big heatsink like the TRUE 120.

Some of Rosewill branded products are quite good (for example, one of their WiFi g USB adapters are quite good). However, most of the people and reason Rosewill is infamous is because of their cr@p quality PSUs.

I would rather mod a higher end case than a cheap case. Also realize, most people even hard core modders value their time over a few $$ spent on the pre built case. Also, you don't see modders messing with cheap cases. There is a reason for that. Spend some time at bit tech modding section and you'll see why.

I've noticed that a lot of people don't realize w/ the rotated drive cage requires 90/180 degree SATA connectors and complain about it, then manufacturers read those reviews and accommodate those particular consumers.

BTW, the reply above of mine is my personal opinion, if I had the money for a 850 dollar Thermaltake Level 10. I would still buy a cheap case and use the money left over to modify it.

True that. I bought/used a NZXT Beta EVO recently, and I had to buy the 90* cables from Ebay ($5 shipped) lol.

 

[nukemaster]

I like 90 degree SATA cables anyway

 

[Shadow703793]

Nuke, are those some Maxtor drives? I notice you have both a Molex and SATA power connectors on that drive, and IIRC only Maxtor did that.

 

[nukemaster]

And here i thought only Western Digital did that...

They are my old 250 gig ones. Since then they have been replaced with 640gig Blacks(3 of em).
