Rosewill's Blackhawk Ultra Gaming Case Released

By Doug Crowthers

Rosewill has released its Blackhawk-Ultra "super tower", with spacing for HPTX motherboards (13.6" x 15"), second power supply or even a kitchen sink if needed.

The Blackhawk-Ultra has a red and black theme driven from its seven red LED fans (4 front, 2 top and 1 side panel). The massive amount of fans should provide adequate cooling to this case but those users seeking the need for water-cooling will be glad to know the case offers seven tube routing holes through the back panel. It supports a bottom-mounted PSU with a dust filter. For those power hungry systems, the case has support for an additional power supply. 

If storage is a concern for you, the Blackhawk-Ultra has you covered with space for ten 3.5" internal drive bays and four external 5.25" bays, all a screw-less design. Space for graphics cards are not a concern with the Blackhawk-Ultra with support up to a 17" graphics card (15.9" with all fans installed) and 10 expansion slots.

    Weight 36.6 lbs. :O

    Is this an anti-Superman case made out of lead? It must at least be bullet proof.

    That's the good thing about cases. If you buy a good enough one, it will last for a few builds. I saw this on Newegg already. It does look impressive.

    Most of the case side is mesh.

    Newbie's question, triggered by the 2 power supplies thing: would it be possible to power a graphic card through a second power supply and then turning it on and off at-will, with the rest of the system on? Or would that fry something dead? (And why?)

    my computer is in the room i sleep in, so yea... rather not have the big (expletive deleted) lights in my computer case, as it stands every electronic that i have, if i can put something over the lights. logitech z5500 pod, i have a sd reader with a hard plastic black car part sticker on it in front of the power switch i have another sticker on my case over the BRIGHT BLUE on led, and the hdd activity one, 6 layers of card stock over the ps3 on lights, and a sticker on my external hdd which is such a bright blue that at night it can light up my whole room.

    hell i had to buy a new power supply recently, you have any idea how painfull it was to buy one that had led in it because it was the only one that best buy sold that i trusted and i needed it yesterday... tears of joy were shed when i found out that i could turn the leds off. on the bright side, it provides light to the back of my computer in stead of me needing a flashlight.

    Probably great cooling, but ugh... so ugly! Worse than HAF series. NZXT and Corsair cases are much better. Is it so hard to design a good-looking case?!
