Rosewill Brings Cases and PSUs Galore to Computex
Computex Taipei has long since closed its doors but we're still working through the backlog of images and information from the editorial team that was deployed in Taiwan. Rosewill was at the show to display several cases as well as a deluge of PSUs.
First up is the Rosewill Throne, which is a full tower case with a slot system up top for controlling air flow and Plexiglass windows on the side and 10 2.5-inch slots and three 5.25-inch slots. Available in August, the Throne is going to cost $179 when it hits U.S. shelves.
Next up is the Rosewill Armor Evolution, a midtower case with seven 2.5-inch slots and three 5.25-inch slots. There's also an opening in the left-side panel for an additional fan. The Armor Evolution will be available in August/September and will cost $119.
Finally, Rosewill brought an abundance of PSUs to Computex, including the 500 watt Silent Night passive solution, the 450, 550, 650 and 750 watt Fortress series, and the 500, 600, 700 and 1000 watt Tachyon series. Rosewill couldn't give us much in the way of information on these, but there was also a 1600 watt called Hercules with 13 connectors.













That'll be perfect for my next $6k build...if I win the Mega Millions and am able to spend money foolishly.
Rosewill turns out to be a store brand for Newegg, basically a rebranding operation. They don't actually design or manufacture their own products, they just buy them in bulk and slap their logo on.
as are most computer brands in the PSU, RAM, PC case, entry level video card, etc., etc., markets
Rosewill has some pretty decent products (for the price) but you have to watch what you get because they do sell some extremely cheap crap.
I own a case of theirs and it has filled its purpose just fine.
Pink case with an engraved kitty cat wearing a cute bow :-)
I want a case called something macho; like the "Eastwood" maybe. You hear me, punk ? :-)
I countered the -1 someone gave you. I agree that cases haven't seen much evolution over the year. At least not aesthetically. My first Raidmax case looked just like the first case pictured here. New features have definitely popped up and I am glad that PSUs are no longer top mounted.
I was wondering about the 2.5" slots myself. One or two would be nice, but no 3.5" slots?? I'm confused Tom's.
Why is it so hard to find an extended-ATX size case with a front door? This is the case I am currently using:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001391TYS
Here is what I am looking for.
1. Case for extended-ATX size motherboard
2. 5 - 5.25" open bays
3. At least 3 internal 3.5" hard drive bays
4. Front connectors: 2 - USB 2.0, 1 - USB 3.0, 1 - SATA, headphones, mic
5. Front door for all 5.25" open bays
6. 2 - 80mm fans in lower front and room for filter
7. Closed side door, no fan or openings at all
8. PSU in standard position on top in back
9. 120 mm rear fan
10. Black or beige
Basically, I am looking for what I already have only larger and with modernized front connectors. So far I have found nothing with the above specs.
