have a rosewill. not this exact case, but at this pricepoint. it came with a powersupply. pretty sturdy easy to build in. would recommend the company. not sure specifically about this case though.

Looks like there are some pretty decent reviews with 72% rating 5 eggs and no cheap power supply included.

"A rousing seven expansion slots, you can create a monster!"

It appears small says "16.9"L x 7.9"W x 17.9"H(Bezel Not Included), so yes a little on the short (front to back) than most Mid-towers so good luck running a 9800GTX+ in SLI in that. Actully I'd say <9" cards only.
Like the I/O and buttons placement but those all look to be attached to the bezel, would have been smarter as a separate part this way the bezel could just pop out with no wires. While lock on a $50 case, why?

Rose will do what?

$5 worth of materials for this? yeah, this is a great deal! at this price point, i wouldnt pay for cheap flimsy steel.

This case is attractive (YMMV), has two 120mm fans and gets very good reviews. I considered it, but its being on sale with free shipping didn't coincide with my last build, and I'm totally happy with my Gigabyte Triton 180.

Casecutter, I have this exact case, and I have a GTX260 SLI setup, no problem. It just fits, with about 1/8th inch to spare. Also, you are right, the buttons are on the main box, not the bezel. Not sure about the lock. I never use it.

Thank you so much for clarifying. I could not logically see a 10.5” cards fitting let alone running SLI as the front air flow looks restrictive. As for the I/O panel, you’re say it remains on the chassis and the rest of the bezel will come off with no wire attached?

I don’t like drive doors, but at least this does have the double fold hinge. They don’t show folding back all the way flat against the side panel and one eggview said “front panel door doesn't lay flat against side” so you’ll have to watch that.

Cons from eggviews that keep coming up... cheap looking plastic and tabs break on the bezel that’s difficult to remove, the door lock is useless, no rest button (hold down the power button), not the lowest noise fans (subjective), the top 3.5" drive bay and power switch I/O connections look to take up the same space, and I/O wire came up short a lot.
Pros: Sturdy, Front and side air filters, looks Better in Person, and Big roomy? (Mid-towers are more often 18"x18")

Here's the recommendations to Rosewill... lose the locks, make the door fold flat and improve the bezel overall. Lengthen the I/O wires and provide some punch-out to wire-tie cables (almost every case need that) and nlack it out inside.
With those differences I could call this Rosewill not a bad box,
